+   *
+   * A flat ring of cards around a centred word is the same object as the 3D ring seen from its

+   * advanced by the same drag, keys, controls and `spin:`. Every number this primitive publishes
+   * means the same thing in both planes; only the three transform functions that turn a place into
+   * a position differ, and those live in `carousel.css` anyway. A second primitive would have
+   * duplicated the whole index to change one stylesheet rule and one face test.
+   *
+   * It is a parameter rather than only a name (unlike convex/concave, which differ in every
+   * default and so earned two names) because the runtime has to know it: a flat slot is never
+   * turned away from the viewer, so the quarter-turn face test that stops the back of a 3D ring
+   * swallowing clicks would, on a clock face, disable every card in the bottom half. The name that
+   * ships it, `carousel-orbit`, sets it; the stylesheet gates on the published attribute rather
+   * than the name, so `carousel-3d plane:screen` is equally honoured — same rule as `facing:`.
+   *
+   * `facing:` keeps its meaning here. `radial` turns each card with the ring, top edge outward like
+   * the numerals on a watch bezel; `camera` keeps every card upright. In the screen plane upright
+   * needs no child counter-rotation at all — the slot is *translated* to its place on the circle
+   * instead of rotated there — so it costs no extra markup, unlike the 3D billboard.
