GuideCard — the workhorse

default for grids, horizontal for search results, compact for sidebars. This is one DOM tree — press S and D and watch the same cards serve both businesses. Hover lifts 2px and zooms art 5%: the only motion a card is allowed.

01 Three variants — live
✓ DO

Clamp excerpts at 2 lines; let titles wrap free. Pinned uses brand ink; Premium always uses the gradient pill.

✗ DON'T

No shadows heavier than --shadow-lift, no motion beyond lift+zoom, never two status badges on one thumb.
