drive the misc cards scrolling with wheel input instead of fixed bursts

The card loop fired fixed 100px scroll events back to back with no pauses, which is the jumpy scrolling, and its while-not-in-viewport loop was unbounded, so a card that never fits the viewport completely would hang the run forever. The way back up unwound a counted number of steps, which lands wrong when the page height changes while cards update.

Scrolling is now wheel input with varying step sizes and short pauses, bounded, aimed at centering the target. The return reads the actual scroll position instead of counting.
