 	 * CardFace — renders one learnable unit (a single subIndex of a card)
 	 * for any Phase-1 card type. Stateless: the parent owns `showBack`,
 	 * `typedAnswer`, and any timing.
+	 *
+	 * Card-feel design (Phase A polish):
+	 *   - Single surface that physically flips on Y axis when revealed.
+	 *     Both faces share a CSS-grid cell so the parent height is the
+	 *     max of front/back, no jumpy reflow on flip.
+	 *   - Tap anywhere on the surface reveals (only while `showBack` is
+	 *     false). The /learn page keeps the keyboard space/enter shortcut.
+	 *   - `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` collapses the rotateY into an
+	 *     instant cross-fade — same affordance, no vestibular trigger.
+	 *
+	 * Type-in cards skip the flip: the input field doesn't make sense on
+	 * a flippable face, so we keep the historical "input + answer below"
+	 * layout for that single card type.
