Layout/whitespace:
- Hero: gate min-h-[75vh] + vertical-centering on hasImage so the text-only
masthead no longer floats in ~800px of dead space; large display headline
via CSS class (was collapsed to 0.72rem by editorial-caps clobbering text-6xl).
- Restore heading hierarchy: swap editorial-caps -> editorial-heading on every
title/headline element (hero, card, newsletter, contact-form, cta, countdown,
feature-grid, team, featured-posts, post-hero, menu-list, hours-location,
author-bio-hero, password-reset-form). Masthead wordmarks (navbar/footer)
keep editorial-caps by design.
- Home "river": constrain to a 48rem reading measure and add vertical rhythm
(editorial-river/editorial-flow CSS) so stacked essay cards stop fusing into
one seam-y block and body text no longer runs full-bleed wide.
- Newsletter: remove stray empty double-hairline artifact (single centered rule).
- Image: guard empty src so absent media no longer renders an empty muted box.
Mobile / JIT-safety:
- New width/spacing/hero-title behavior defined as theme CSS in manifest
input_css_append (not JIT-scanned Tailwind), so it always compiles.
- Marginalia stack breakpoint widened 768px -> 1023px to match the article
grid collapse, so the rail always gets its separator when stacked.
Build + check-safety green (32 checks: 19 ok 13 skip). No version bump.
