+/**
+ * `AdaptiveGrid`'s layout, with only the rows you can see mounted.
+ *
+ * The fleet's grids render every item they are given. That is the
+ * right default, and it stops being right somewhere in the low
+ * thousands: QueuePilot's Pending page put **2,162** tiles on one
+ * screen — 19,933 DOM nodes, 2,162 `<img>`, 4,371 `<button>`, 7.8
+ * seconds to settle, and roughly 43fps while scrolling on a machine
+ * with no GPU to lose. Nothing about that page was wrong except how
+ * much of it existed at once.
+ *
+ * ### It is the same grid, and deliberately so
+ *
+ * Columns come from `useAdaptiveColumns` — the identical
+ * height-first rule `AdaptiveGrid` uses, with the identical two-box
+ * structure protecting it (an uncapped outer box is measured, an
+ * inner box carries the cap). Windowing is the only difference. A
+ * second column heuristic that windowed lists followed and flow
+ * lists did not would be a fleet where the same content lays out
+ * two ways depending on how many of it there are.
+ *
+ * ### The window is padding, not absolute positioning
+ *
+ * The obvious build — absolutely position a row per visible row —
+ * is the one this does not do, and the reason is the markup. A
+ * `<ul>` whose children are positioning wrappers is not a list any
+ * more; the cards stop being `<li>`, and the structure a screen
+ * reader walks becomes a fiction maintained by ARIA roles.
+ *
+ * So there are no row elements at all. One real CSS grid holds the
+ * visible items as ordinary `<li>` children, and the thousands of
+ * rows above and below it are two numbers:
+ * `padding-block-start` for everything scrolled past and
+ * `padding-block-end` for everything still to come. The grid then
+ * does its own job — tracks on the inline axis, rows sized to
+ * their tallest item — instead of being reimplemented in
+ * `transform`s.
+ *
+ * ### How a row gets measured without existing
+ *
+ * A CSS grid stretches every cell in a row to the row's height
+ * (`align-items: stretch`, which is the default and is not
+ * overridden here). So **any** cell in a row is exactly as tall as
+ * the row, and measuring the first one measures the row. That is
+ * what `data-index` and the `measureElement` ref are doing on the
+ * leading cell of each row, and it is why tile heights are allowed
+ * to vary — a two-line title, a wrapped pair of buttons, a badge
+ * only some items carry.
+ *
+ * The row gap sits between two measured boxes and so is in
+ * neither. `measureRow` adds it back, which keeps the virtualizer's
+ * idea of the distance from one row to the next and the browser's
+ * the same number.
+ *
+ * ### Why the window and not a scroll box of its own
+ *
+ * `useWindowVirtualizer`, so the page scrolls the way every other
+ * page in the fleet scrolls — the header leaves, the scrollbar is
+ * the browser's, `Ctrl+End` works. A component that grew its own
+ * `overflow: auto` well would trap the wheel and strand the page
+ * header above it. The cost is `scrollMargin`: the virtualizer has
+ * to be told how far down the document the grid starts, which is
+ * measured below.
+ *
+ * ### What windowing costs, and what is done about it
+ *
+ * The true length is stated rather than implied — `aria-setsize` on
+ * every cell carries the full count and `aria-posinset` its real
+ * position, so a reader announces "3 of 2,162" instead of "3 of
+ * 40". Two costs have no fix at this layer and are the caller's to
+ * answer: the browser's `Ctrl+F` only searches what is mounted, and
+ * so does "select all". A page that needs either owes its users a
+ * search field of its own.
