Layer Depth Normalizer

Normalize arbitrary z-index values to a 10-point scale for cleaner CSS architecture.

Unmanaged z-index values often lead to 'stacking context wars' where developers use values like 99999 to force visibility. This utility helps normalize high-magnitude z-index values into a manageable, tiered system, promoting a more maintainable and predictable CSS codebase. Standardizing depth levels is a hallmark of a mature design system. By mapping values to a consistent scale, teams can avoid the common pitfalls of overlapping elements and ensure that modals, tooltips, and navigation bars always behave as expected in the DOM hierarchy.
