   Single insight post
   All widths anchor to two containers only, so nothing on the
   page drifts out of alignment with anything else:
   .post-narrow (700px)  — everything read top-to-bottom: header,
                            hero photo, the article body itself
                            (with the TOC rail added outside it on
                            desktop), and the author card.
   .post-wide   (1000px) — the related-articles grid, which needs
                            more room for 3 columns.
   Both are plain max-width + margin:auto + their own side padding
   — never combined with the sitewide .wrap, which has a different
   max-width (1440px) and would fight these.
