Subject: [PATCH] fix(dashboard): keep an over-wide focused rail card in view

In a window narrower than a card (or under zoom), a focused card could
never fit, so its own snap offset fell short of the needed scroll and
the rail jumped to the next card's snap point, moving the focused card
offscreen. Such a card is now aligned at its own start instead.
