 * Creates a material-style ripple effect inside the given element.
 *
 * @param el - Target element that receives the ripple.
 * @param event - Mouse event used to determine the ripple origin.
 * @param host - Optional host element that receives the ripple container instead of `el`.
 *
 * @remarks
 * - Automatically clears previous ripples.
 * - Injects a `.ripple-container` and `.ripple` element.
 * - Uses the element's client size and border radius.
 * - Safe for buttons, icon buttons, list items, etc.
