-- Numbers formatted via `formatInt` with thousands separators.
+- Long user-controlled strings (bio, names, company, repo slugs) go through `truncate` in `svg.go` before rendering — never print raw multi-line input that could push a later element off-screen.
+- Body numbers formatted via `formatInt` (thousands separators). Y-axis tick numbers go through `formatTick`, which abbreviates ≥ 1000 to `k` / `M` / `B` so no label exceeds 4 chars.
 - Stable viewbox per card (`340×200`) matching github-profile-summary-cards.
+- Titles render through `header()` which auto-shrinks font-size (15 → 11 px) when the string wouldn't fit in `width − 20 − 4`.
 - No `<script>` tags, no event handlers. Cards are pure markup.

 ## Phase 7.5 — Demo gallery for theme discovery (✅ done)
 
 - New `.github/workflows/demo.yml` renders every card for every theme against the repo owner's profile on each push to `main`.

 - Loop prevention: workflow skips pushes that only touch `demo/**`, `**.md`, or `LICENSE`; `GITHUB_TOKEN`-driven pushes don't retrigger workflows by design.
 - Consumer impact: none — this is a repo-internal discovery aid, not a shipped feature.
