Description

Issue

The entire card needs to be rendered on initial load, including elements hidden by ShowCard.

Without the entire card rendered, the hidden elements are not present in the DOM tree, so we lose focus when they are inserted in the tree.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Designer's initial rendering path for cards containing ShowCard. Verify how hidden elements enter the DOM and preserve focus, then confirm that the complete card is present on initial load and that focus is retained when those elements are shown.
