/* A photo run is not a paragraph - it breaks out past the reading
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. */
