notes: >-
  Tako's client-side surface is its embeddable knowledge cards — live,
  interactive charts dropped into a web page as iframes. Cards report their own
  height to the parent page via a postMessage 'tako::resize' event, so the host
  never hard-codes heights. Thin-Viz turns a caller's own data into the same
  embeddable card format.

      Live Tako knowledge-card charts embedded via each card's embed_url as an
