+/**
+ * v1.4.25 W3e — mobile-first responsive layout audit.
+ *
+ * Marc directive: "mobile layout must be designed alongside desktop,
+ * not as an afterthought". This test pins the Tailwind responsive
+ * utilities so a future refactor cannot quietly collapse the grid
+ * back to the v1.4.22 `sm:grid-cols-2` and remove the lg three-col
+ * row.
+ *
+ * The three breakpoints we care about:
+ *   • default (<640px): one column, full-width cards
+ *   • sm (640-1023px): two columns
+ *   • lg (1024px+): three columns, slightly wider gutters
