     personal-best tiles (.pb-tile::before), and the in-game suggestion dropdown
     (.dropdown .item::before). Realism comes from four physical cues rather than a flat
     gradient:
       · frosted TRANSLUCENCY — warm-white base + half-strength tint let the ruled paper
         read faintly through the strip, the way real semi-matte tape does;
       · a soft cast SHADOW via drop-shadow() (follows the torn silhouette, so the strip
         visibly lifts off the page);
       · a diagonal WRINKLE highlight + faint crease, so light catches an uneven surface;
       · longitudinal FIBRE grain + a bright top edge / shaded bottom edge for thickness.
     Per-context knobs: --tape-color (any CSS colour) tints the strip; --tape-clip
     supplies the hand-torn outline (nav strips set a fresh random one inline; the tiles
     and dropdown cycle a few preset tears below). */
