Ole-Morten Duesund f8b7ff475c Initial commit: business card raytracer with explanation
Preserves Andrew Kensler's original card.cc verbatim and adds:
- CMakeLists.txt building both the original and a de-obfuscated
  variant (card_explained.cc) that produces a visually identical render
- A heavily annotated rewrite explaining the vector ops, ray-sphere
  intersection, soft shadows, depth of field, and reflection recursion
- Rendered sample output (docs/aek.png) embedded in the README
- CLAUDE.md establishing the "never modify card.cc" rule for future work

# The original card.cc is sacred and must NOT be modified. We compile it
# verbatim. Because the file is golfed C++ from the early 2010s, we relax
# a few things so a modern compiler accepts it untouched:
# - C++14 (default constructor v(){} is fine; pow(float,int) overload exists)
# - -w silences the unavoidable warnings (implicit float->int conversions
# in the final printf, narrowing, unused result of operator new, etc.)
# We can't fix them — we'd have to edit card.cc, which we won't.

# Per-compiler flags. The original is golfed and triggers warnings we can't
# fix without editing it (forbidden). The de-obfuscated version keeps full
# warnings on so it stays honest.
