## JavaScript
```js
/* No JavaScript — thumbnail navigation uses anchor links to card ids,
   scrolled smoothly by the snap rail; hover-zoom and active ring are pure CSS. */
```

How this works

The card rail is a scroll-snap flex row; the thumbnail strip below is a set of anchor <a>s whose href targets each card's id, so clicking a thumb smooth-scrolls that product into view with no JS. Each card is a container, and a container query switches the card between stacked and side-by-side layouts based on its own width rather than the viewport.

Hover-to-zoom is an object-fit: cover image scaled inside an overflow: hidden media box; the price badge uses color-mix() over the accent so a single custom property retints the whole set. :target gives the active card a highlighted ring so the thumbnail selection reads clearly.

Make it yours

  • Retint every badge and ring by changing --accent on .cis-04.
  • Adjust the card width via --card to show more or fewer per view.
  • Edit the container-query breakpoint (40rem) to control when a card goes side-by-side.
  • Add products by duplicating a .cis-04__card (give it a new id) and its matching thumbnail <a>.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Card ids and thumbnail hrefs must match exactly for the jump-to behaviour.
  • Container queries need container-type: inline-size on the card (set here) — without it the layout query never fires.
  • Smooth thumbnail scrolling relies on scroll-behavior: smooth on the rail; it falls back to an instant jump if reduced-motion is on.
