> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+**Status:** ✅ Complete (2026-06-20) — also extended to story map markers (white diamond) and story card flash highlight.
+
**Goal:** Unify three micro-interaction patterns across the site: back navigation pills, card hover lift, and a map-to-card flash highlight.
**Architecture:** CSS-first — shared `.back-pill` class drives visual consistency; entry card markup is collapsed from a two-level `article > a` to a flat `` to align hover targets across all three card types; map flash is a short CSS keyframe triggered by a JS-added class.
