A profile card whose role line slides away and a row of social icons springs up in its place, one after another. The swap happens in a fixed-height slot, so the card never resizes.
Also known as: profile card hover effect, team member card css, social icons reveal on hover.

Currently previewing #3b82f6.--hfx-size. Every other dimension is in
em, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing 16px.transition or animation
shorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm.
