How to evaluate this prototype
Click "Read summary" on any card to see the description expand in place
Notice that only the opened card grows, so cards above the fold stay above the fold
Clicking the PDF icon, title, or date still opens the PDF (it's a separate link)
View page source to confirm that all summary text is in the HTML on initial load, which is what Google and AEO crawlers will read
Try keyboard navigation: Tab to the button, Enter or Space to toggle
Resize the window to see it collapse to 2-up then 1-up on smaller screens
