+- Every element the patch drives has class `sfui-curv-ctl`.
+- When a press becomes a drag (`dragThresholdPixels` vertical from where the
+  press started), a bubbling `CustomEvent` `sfui-curv-dragstart` (detail
+  `{ frameID, where: 'menu' | 'bar' }`) is dispatched on the element, and
+  `sfui-curv-dragend` when that drag ends (release or `cancelPress()`).
