Rene De Ren 9619c93bd8 refactor(helix): nodes on rungs, not strand peaks
Each project's node now sits at the rung centre (x = CX) instead of at
its strand's instantaneous extreme. The "line in between" the strands
becomes the natural place for the project marker — true to the
base-pair metaphor — and frees Y positions from having to coincide
with strand-peak intervals.

What this unlocks
- Slot Y is decoupled from the wave period. SLOT_HEIGHT drops from
  240 → 180 and the wave period from SLOT_HEIGHT*2 → a fixed 320,
  giving the helix a denser twist without re-spacing the cards.
- Cards pack tighter (TOP/BOTTOM padding 120 → 80, summary clamp
  3 → 2 lines, padding shaved). 3 projects now fit in ~620 px of
  helix section instead of ~960 px — empty space goes away.

Visual additions
- Per-project base-pair: a prominent strand-coloured line at each
  node's Y, drawn from strand A's x to strand B's x. This is the
  rung the node sits on.
- Connector dash line continues from the node centre outward to the
  card edge.

Side mapping
- Strand identity is now purely the card's side + stripe + badge:
  A → left, B → right. (Previously the side followed the strand's
  instantaneous extreme, which gave inconsistent groupings.)

/**
* Vertical DNA helix where each project binds to a slot on a strand.

* Each project sits at slot Y = TOP_PAD + i * SLOT_HEIGHT, at the

*
* Cards are lab-slides: frosted glass surface with a thick strand-coloured

* anchor elements stacked above an overlay link to the detail page
* (HTML doesn't allow nested <a>, so we use the overlay pattern).
