/*
 * The About page, built to handoff frames 1c (390), 1a (1240) and 1b (1600).
 *
 * MOBILE FIRST, min-width only, each breakpoint after the last. Media queries
 * add no specificity, so an earlier @media block loses to any later
 * unconditional rule - traps.md #2, three occurrences.
 *
 * NO GLOBAL RULES ON BARE ELEMENTS and nothing hidden by tag - traps.md #1,
 * which killed five visuals over three weeks, including two scrims that had
 * never rendered since the day they were built.
 *
 * Every number here was measured off a frame. Where the README's prose and the
 * frames disagree the frames win (traps.md #33) - and they do disagree here:
 * the README's type table gives the page hero H1 as 92/72/52, and the About
 * frames measure 72 at 1600, 56 at 1240 and 40 at 390. This page uses the
 * frames' numbers.
 *
 * Breakpoints are the theme's own - 768 and 1520, the same two base.css uses
 * for the gutter, so a section and its container never disagree about which
 * step they are on.
