- padding-block on .page/.page-head/.article: container gutter survived only >=1176px (shorthand padding zeroed it) — mobile content sat flush left
- restore <=1024px tiers: field hidden, magnifier + menu visible (header no longer overflows at 375px)
- re-wire hdr-q suggestions lost in the field restore; newsSearch inits null-safe
- focused-empty search state: recent queries (localStorage, cap 4) + latest articles (Baymard autocomplete guidance)
- suggest panel 480px (Baymard/DocSearch width convention)
- /news page 1 = 25 items (featured + 24 = even 3-col rows), later pages 24, custom slicing
- hero CTAs: primary Browse news (/news, spec-first real service), ghost Explore the data (external); mock Proposals out of hero
- .btn.btn--ghost compound selector — .btn base defined later was filling ghosts with Cherenkov
