         measure to ONE width token and packs like the photography archive.
         CSS columns balanced the run into three ragged stacks: a column ran
         long and dangled a photograph below the others, a wide frame overran
         the square its neighbours implied, and a hole opened where the last
         short column stopped. The rows are JUSTIFIED instead - solved at
         build time in galleryize.py, shipped as explicit flex rows.
         A cell's --a is its native aspect. flex-grow:var(--a) over a zero
         basis hands each photo in a row the width a_i x h out of the row's
         free space, so every photo in the row stands at the same height h
         and the last one lands exactly on the right edge - flush left AND
         right, nothing cropped, no measurement on the page. */
