the locked image now gets a small pinned copy (18rem, same width as the text column) that appears once the real preview scrolls out of view and disappears again once the text runs out — fixed-position + scroll-driven rather than CSS sticky, since the filebrowser box is only ever as tall as its own content, not the much taller text next to it.\n\nalso scoped the existing click-outside-unfreezes-the-lock listener to clicks inside .filebrowser only, since with listings now starting locked, a click to read or select a word in the text would otherwise silently kill the sticky preview.\n\nportfolio index: rows there are real links (href + data-img together), so a single click used to jump straight into the project — the only way to preview a different one first was hovering, which does nothing for touch and is now also blocked while something is locked. first click on a different project now just previews it (like hover used to); a second click on the same row, or clicking the preview image itself, opens it.
same end state as clicking the first row by hand — hovering other rows no longer steals the preview until you actually click one. clicking a different row still jumps straight to it and relocks there; clicking the locked row again releases it back to hover-browsing. games are excluded (nothing to browse), matched via the game-embed class rather than page context so it stays correct no matter which page a game was launched from.
the .. row has no image/video/text of its own, so the preview fell through to the blank-everything branch — most noticeable on video projects, where the video would stop and vanish. now non-preview rows just leave whatever was last shown in place.
