These are isolated proofs, not patched into the current MandelaMap stylesheet. The point is to show that both a pure CSS single-source border and an SVG single-source border can work cleanly when they are the only border system in play.
Pure CSS
Single-source clipped border
The border is the outer element itself. No separate caps, no extra overlays, no rectangular border underneath it. The fill is just the inner clipped layer.
Recommendation: pick one of these approaches and use it everywhere. Do not mix them with rectangular borders, corner caps, or extra pseudo-element overlays.
