Narrow containers and long content
Cards adapt to their container and wrap long content and actions without horizontal overflow.

This intentionally long description demonstrates content wrapping in a constrained region.
Usage guidance
- Keep headings in the page hierarchy; the components do not choose heading levels.
- Use cards as peer summaries and panes as larger, independent page regions.
- Use a clear action link instead of linking the heading or overlaying a link across the whole card.
- Keep content destinations blue and use current-color links for secondary card and pane actions.
