+[fix] Toast: the card's shadow is no longer clipped away.
+
+Each toast sits in a box with `overflow: hidden` — the clip is what makes the
+wrapper's grid-row collapse read as the toast folding away. But that box hugs
+the card's border box exactly, with no slack on any side, so it also cut off
+every shadow the card casts. Astryx's own `--shadow-med` has been declared on
+the toast and invisible: measured against a white page, the pixels immediately
+below a stock toast were pure white.
+
+The clip is now `overflow: clip` with `overflow-clip-margin: 32px` — still
+clipping, but letting the card paint that far outside the box. 32px is the
+reach of `--shadow-high` (`0 8px 24px`), the largest elevation shadow the
+system ships, so any built-in shadow and any theme's up to that size paints in
+full. `min-height: 0` comes with it: `hidden` zeroes a grid item's automatic
+minimum size and `clip` does not, so without it the row could no longer
+shrink and the collapse stopped animating.
+
+Below a stock toast, on a white page, per pixel row: `255,255,255` at every
+offset before; `237 → 245 → 250 → 254` over the shadow's 14px reach after.
