+ * `sm:` (640 px) instead of `md:` (768 px), so on a ~700 px tablet Settings
+ * cards read denser than every other surface.
+ *
+ * The default renders the ui `<Card>` so the surface composes from one shape.
+ * Unlike the bare `<Card>` it does NOT impose the `flex flex-col gap` layout:
+ * Settings card bodies own their internal rhythm (`SettingsCardHeader` +
+ * `mt-4`/`space-y-*` bodies), so the container only owns the border, radius,
+ * background, and padding. Pass `className` for per-card extras
+ * (`scroll-mt-28`, `space-y-4`, `flex h-full flex-col`, …).
+ *
+ * `as="section"` keeps a card's semantic landmark element (a `<section>` with
