+- **V2 Header Cards Optimization**: Fixed broken `.md` targets in raw HTML header cards by pointing them to compiled `.html` pages. Upgraded card sizing to use a responsive flex layout (`flex: 1; max-width: 280px; min-width: 200px;`) with increased padding and added visual hover highlight states on card icons matching the mosaic aesthetics.
