        /* ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   CENTER — GLASSMORPHISM IMAGE CARD

   HOW TO ADD YOUR OWN IMAGE
   ─────────────────────────
   Option A — Quick (per category):
     In the DATA object in <script>, add an imgUrl field:
       Doctor:  { imgUrl: 'images/doctor.jpg',  ... }
       Engineer:{ imgUrl: 'images/engineer.jpg', ... }
     The JS will automatically inject an <img> into
     .card-image-wrapper and hide the emoji.

   Option B — Manual (direct HTML):
     Replace <div class="card-emoji" …>🏥</div>
     with:
       <img src="your-image.jpg"
            class="card-real-img"
            alt="Category name">
