   TEAM PAGE — each person is their own layered cutout on a shared themed
   background, matching the exact original composition. Hovering one
   person zooms only them and traces a soft gold outline glow around their
   silhouette; everyone else stays put. Tiny invisible hitzones (sized to
   each person's actually-visible, non-occluded area) handle the hover
   detection so people partly hidden behind others stay reachable.
