+  peek-talk-slides.html — minimal, self-contained markdown slideshow renderer.
+  Renders the sibling peek-talk-overview.md as slides (that file is the single source of truth).
+  Slide breaks = headings: every #, ## or ### begins a new slide. `---` rules are dropped.
+  Nav: left / right (or PageUp/Down, Space) between slides; up/down scroll a tall slide; Home/End jump; f = fullscreen.
+  No external CSS/JS. Colors/typography are Peek's default `peek` theme (light :root + dark media query).
+  Opening over file:// blocks fetch — if so, drag peek-talk-overview.md onto the window (or pick it).
