Collapsed notification deck that fans open on hover; each dismiss re-settles the pile.

/* Alert Stack, rebuilt through the ssych-component skill (2026-09-29).
What changed against the version before it (in git history), and why:
· no outline and no drop shadow on the rows, and none on the restore control: each row
is one flat fill, and the pile reads through the rows behind stepping back in strength
· the sparkle is gone: it said nothing about the alert
· pointing at a row in the open fan keeps it full and dims the others
· the fan opens for the keyboard too, the pile names itself and says how many are left
· every figure is tabular
2026-10-02 audit: his note said the roundness no longer matched the rest, so the corners
nest again. A row is 44px tall and holds a 24px round dismiss 10px in from its top, bottom
and right, so its corner is 12 + 10 = 22, half its height: the rows are pills. The samples
were three "coming soon" lines; they are now real alerts, each with a 6px dot in the hue of
its direction (up, warning, done). Dismiss is the shared icon button with a "Dismiss" tip,
and it plays out: the row holds a tick and "Dismissed" on a 10% wash for 420ms, then slides
16px and leaves. Restore is the shared secondary button at h-7. Width 320, the card step. */
