/* Blog listing — single-column story list.
 *
 * The previous layout was a two-up card grid showing six posts a page. With
 * 120+ articles that is twenty pages, which buries everything and gives a
 * reader no sense that the archive is deep. News sites solve this with a
 * single column of wide rows at roughly 18 per page: more posts visible, more
 * of each one readable, and the thumbnail earns its place instead of forcing
 * the text into a narrow column.
 *
 * Everything here uses the existing theme tokens — no new colours.
