+/**
+ * The Knoebels park-heat map — one glow per ride, over darkened satellite imagery.
+ *
+ * Lived in the homepage header until 2026-08-13, when it moved to its own page (`/knoebels`)
+ * to make room for the reading map. The homepage keeps the one-line `knb-stats` strip as the
+ * teaser; it links here.
+ *
+ * Data: `api.c0smere.net/knoebels/rides` (live waits while the park is open, typical weekend
+ * peak otherwise). Fail-closed, like every garden widget.
