/* ==========================================================================
   STORYMATTERS — v0, iteration 2
   Same approved positioning/narrative as before. This pass: fixed real
   implementation bugs, reworked vertical rhythm so section height follows
   content instead of a uniform padding value, and removed the repeated
   "label -> heading -> paragraph -> hairline -> boxed grid" formula that
   made every section look component-generated. See git log for the full
   before/after per section.
