   CONTINUITY PILLARS — chevron card stack

   Layout strategy:

   • z-index: card 1 (highest) → card 2 → card 3 (lowest), so the
     left card always paints on top of the right card.
   • filter: drop-shadow() on each card casts a shadow that follows
     the clipped chevron silhouette onto the card behind it.
   • ::before pseudo-element draws the white 1px border by repeating
     the same clip-path 1px larger on every side.
