Three schools is not a neighbourhood in inner London, so the cap is six with
three visible and arrows for the rest.
Raising the cap exposes something the old cap hid. Tiers exist to reach a
usable set, and with six slots a naive loop would keep widening to fill them
— dragging in tier-3 schools ten miles away to sit beside three good matches
that had already earned the row. So tiers now stop relaxing once three are
found, and the remaining slots are filled only from the tiers already used.
Four tier-1 matches never open tier 2.
The carousel scrolls a list rather than swapping a view: all six cards are in
the initial HTML, so every link stays crawlable and the row still scrolls with
JavaScript off. The arrows' edge test carries an 8px tolerance because the
scroller's focus-ring padding is the first snap position — a row at rest
reports scrollLeft 2, and an exact test for 0 left the back arrow live and
pointing nowhere. Caught in the mockup.
