Sticky Storytelling Section

Scroll / LightView
Sections stack over one another like cards on a table. Each panel positioned below the previous before the trigger; sticking each panel then scaling the one behind to 0.96 as it is covered once scroll position.

}A sticky visual holds while the copy beside it advances.
A vertical line draws down and reveals each milestone.
The section scales up and passes the viewer as they scroll.
Content fades and rises as it enters the viewport.
