+// Reusable "boxed card" layout primitive for stat-style screens.
+//
+// A CardLayout owns the vertical cursor on a content rect and renders a
+// stack of rounded-border cards. Each card has an optional title and a body
+// composed by the caller via a lambda; the body lambda can call helpers on
+// the CardBody it receives to draw label/value rows or a 4-cell stat grid.
+//
+// Typical usage (Reading Stats screen):
+//
+//   CardLayout layout(renderer, contentRect, startY);
+//   layout.card("Total time", [&](CardLayout::Body& b) {
+//     b.rowLR("Sessions", "12");
+//     b.rowLR("Pages",    "248");

+//     b.statGrid({{ {"3", "Sess"}, {"7", "Books"}, {"4", "Streak"}, {"9", "Best"} }});
+//   });
+//
+// Design notes
+//   - Title-less cards (title == nullptr) are used as "hero" panels where
+//     the grid is itself the headline.
+//   - Card height is computed automatically by tracking how far the body
+//     lambda advanced its internal y cursor. The rounded rect is drawn
+//     LAST so it sits cleanly around the content (it can't clip text
+//     because content padding is fixed at construction time).
+//   - All values use UI_10 font; grid values use UI_12 bold. This is
+//     consistent across stats screens; if a future caller needs another
+//     font scale we'll add an optional config struct.
+// Card visual / spacing configuration. Lives outside CardLayout so it can
