Overlay — sheet rise

Variant: Sheet rise

A bottom sheet on the iOS drawer curve: fast off the mark, long settle, 392ms up and 280ms back down. It travels by its own height — translateY(105%), not a pixel count — so the choreography survives whatever content it carries. The rows land 56ms apart after the surface stops, because reading order should follow arrival order; they leave with the sheet, since a staggered exit would be a second performance.
