/* Plotloft blog — long-form articles built on the site.css tokens, sharing
   the docs pages' measure and heading rhythm so all the prose sections of
   the site read as one thing.

   Articles need a few things the docs don't: a dated byline, comparison
   tables, pull-quote-free figures with captions, a lead-answer box (the
   content plan's "real answer in the first 150 words" rule), and an inline
   demo CTA that doesn't shout. */
