/* ===================== Layout / utility layer (2026-08-20) =====================
   Native replacement for the Bootstrap 5.3.3 CDN dependency this module used to
   load. Implements only the specific class names actually used across the blog
   templates (grid, spacing, flex, text, breadcrumb/pagination/alert/form
   components) so the existing page markup needed zero changes — this is a
   dependency removal, not a redesign. See code-standards.md. */
/* Grid, not flex: with `display:flex`, a percentage `width` on a flex item
   resolves against the full container width, then `gap` is added on top —
   two columns summing to 100% plus any gap overflows the row and wraps
   (e.g. the post.php sidebar dropping below the article instead of sitting
   beside it). CSS Grid's `gap` is subtracted from the track sizing itself,
   so a 12-column template with `grid-column:span N` has no such overflow,
   at any gap size, with the same class names and zero markup changes. */
