+ *
+ * Asserts (per parent brief):
+ *   (a) at 360x800, swipe a packets row left ≥100px → .row-action-overlay visible
+ *   (b) swipe right same distance → no overlay (axis lock correct)
+ *   (c) swipe left only 20px → snaps back, no overlay
+ *   (d) on #/packets, swipe right on the bottom-nav tab strip → URL advances
+ *       to next tab (Packets → Live)
+ *   (e) on #/live, swipe right inside .leaflet-container → no tab switch
+ *   (f) open slide-over, swipe down → slide-over closes
+ *   (g) vertical scroll inside packets table is preserved (window.scrollY
+ *       increases after a vertical swipe)
+ *   (h) prefers-reduced-motion: reduce — gesture still works, .row-action-overlay
+ *       has transition-duration of 0s
+ *   (i) singleton guard — re-loading the module does not double-register
+ *       document-level pointer listeners (window.__touchGestures1062InitCount === 1)
+ *
+ * Pointer events synthesized via page.evaluate() because headless Chromium's
+ * native page.touchscreen is unreliable for axis-locked custom handlers.
