💡 what: replaced synchronous getboundingclientrect() checks with an intersectionobserver to track the photocarousel visibility state.
🎯 why: calling getboundingclientrect() during frequent events like keydown can force the browser to synchronously recalculate layout (layout thrashing), causing jank and degrading performance. caching the visibility state with an intersectionobserver completely eliminates this overhead.
📊 impact: removes 100% of synchronous layout forced reflows during keyboard navigation of the carousel, making interaction measurably smoother.
🔬 measurement: run a performance profile in devtools while pressing arrow keys; observe the elimination of "recalculate style" and "layout" events triggered by the keydown listener.
