+/// Scroll-driven parallax image window. As the component scrolls up through the viewport,
+/// the image pans through the window faster than the page scrolls. An optional second image
+/// crossfades in on hover (pure CSS). A <see cref="FullWidth"/> flag breaks the container out
+/// of parent padding to span the viewport.
+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+/// Progressive enhancement: renders a static framed image at SSR; the parallax attaches after
+/// interactive boot via <c>OnAfterRenderAsync(firstRender)</c>. When <see cref="WindowHeight"/>
+/// is left null, the window renders at 300px and recomputes to naturalHeight/2 once the image
+/// decodes — this can cause a one-time layout shift on first paint. Pass an explicit
+/// <see cref="WindowHeight"/> for above-the-fold hero usage to avoid the shift.
