How should the card use horizontal space on larger screens?
Current: Narrow Stacked Card (380px)
Works fine on mobile, but on a wide monitor this wastes space — cards are tall, scannable info is buried, and you can only see a few at a time in a list.

Variant 1 — Full Single Row
Everything on one line. Maximum density — great for power users scanning a long list.
Trade-off: description gets truncated hard, and it can feel cramped.
Best for: table-like views, dashboards, "active timers" panels.

Variant 2 — Two-Row Wide
Row 1: matter identity + timer (the two things you need to scan). Row 2: description + tags (the context you read when you need it).
This preserves hierarchy while using width. Timer anchored to the right creates a consistent scan column.

Variant 3 — Three-Zone Grid
Left: identity + tags (who/what). Center: description (context). Right: timer (action).
Creates clear columns that align across multiple cards. Excellent for scannability in a list.
Trade-off: needs ~700px minimum to breathe.

Variant 4 — Responsive (Resize Me)
Same card adapts from narrow stacked layout to wide grid layout.
Drag the bottom-right corner to resize. Below ~600px it stacks; above it spreads out.
This is probably the right answer if you need to support both mobile and desktop.

Comparison: A List of 4 Cards
The real test: how do these look stacked as a list? Variant 2 (two-row) balances density with readability.
Variant 1 (single row) is densest. Variant 3 (three-zone) creates the best column alignment.
