/* ============================================================
   PIERC — STARTUP STUDIO
   ------------------------------------------------------------
   The bottom slider controls (progress bar + round prev/next
   arrows) reuse the theme's existing .cardrow-* component —
   the same one .lakshya-lab-row already uses — so that CSS is
   NOT redefined here. Only load this file alongside the global
   stylesheet, not instead of it.
