# Card Grid

> A responsive card-grid bento — thirteen skeleton cards, each a distinct anatomy (KPI, stat, usage, banner, team, article, media hero, profile, product, tasks) placed with named `grid-template-areas` that reflow across four breakpoints, mobile-first and design-system agnostic.

## Features

- Named `grid-template-areas` bento that re-shapes across four column tiers (1 → 2 → 4 → 6) as the viewport widens
- Thirteen distinct card anatomies (KPI, spark stat, usage, analytics banner, team, article, media hero, profile, product, tasks, promo, horizontal article/media)
- Central HERO card claims a 2×3 block on wide layouts while the analytics banner spans a full-width row
- Skeleton wireframe placeholders with color-mixed accents derived from design tokens
- Content-sized rows (`minmax(7rem, auto)`) so cards grow to fit and the page scrolls — no clipping
- All colors, spacing, and radii driven by design-system tokens
- Prefers-reduced-motion support for accessibility
- Per-card accent colors computed via oklch color-mix from semantic palette tokens

## Accessibility

- **ARIA label** — `.bento` grid has `aria-label="Card grid layout"`
- **Busy state** — `.bento` starts `aria-busy="true"` and is cleared to `false` by `markReady()` once rendered
- **Reduced motion** — `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` kills all animations and transitions
- **Focus-visible** — Interactive focus styling relies on `:focus-visible` from the design tokens
- **Dynamic viewport** — Uses `100dvh` for proper mobile viewport height
