Verified against the live DOM: a panel z-index is trapped inside the position:fixed overlay's stacking context, so page elements that are themselves stacking contexts in body (the right dock at position:absolute z-index:20, card badge contexts) painted OVER the modal, and tap-to-front (which raised the panel z) had no effect at the body level. Move the dynamic shared-stack z onto each modal's fixed overlay (FloatingWindow, RightDockExpandModal, TerminalModal floating, NewTaskModal floating) so the whole window sits at the shared band in body's stacking context — modals now paint above all page content and tapping reliably brings a window to the front across types.
