Avatar Stack

A compact, visually appealing component for displaying multiple user avatars in an overlapping stack. Perfect for showing participants in a group chat, team members, or active collaborators. Supports customizable size, max visible avatars, border styling, and optional '+n' indicator for overflow. Renders gracefully from 1 to dozens of users while maintaining a small footprint.
