   FINFLIX — the episode tile board (episode.html, full width).
   Every element of an episode is one tile. Tiles swipe sideways inside a
   deck; sections stack downwards in the order of the structural sketch:
   trailer → episode section → academic layer → bonus.
   Tile colours carry the sketch's colour code, so the page and the sketch
   can be read side by side.
