Fit heat map + carrier finder

Compare pet carriers against real airline limits.

Filter the source-cited carrier set by airline fit, carrier type, and style, then scan the fit heat map. Missing fields stay visible as "not tagged yet" rather than invented. Boring and correct beats confident and wrong.

Cards replace the wide matrix on small screens; each airline row remains tappable.

#10

Mobile behavior: current carrier first, viewed carriers next, pinned airlines above the rest.

Fit caveat: "match" means the carrier's listed external dimensions compare inside a published in-cabin limit. It does not guarantee the airline will accept it at the gate.
