feat: deck cards fit their content, callouts use the theme's ink, questions can carry a film, formats end with references
Compare cards were as tall as the body whatever they held, so two columns of
four short bullets sat in cards 60% empty; a one-sentence callout sat in a
card two thirds of the slide. Both now size to the text. The callout card's
fixed brown ink was the worst contrast in the catalogue on Board Review's
mint card; it takes the theme's ink. A question slide may carry image_prompt
— a film beside the stem, drawn or left as a labelled frame like a figure.
The evidence-based formats (board review, journal club, QI, abstract, debrief)
gain a References part and the brief says the deck ends with it: DeepSeek
skipped it when it was only suggested.
