/* ============================================================
   BURLINGTON, RIGHT NOW — the BTown Brief front door (v2, Aug 2026)

   One page, three layers:
     1. the bento — photographs carrying one live number each
     2. the questions — twelve first-person pills, one open panel
     3. everything, A–Z — the guarantee that every page is reachable

   Photographs are Stephen's own (assets/img/ig, sources in sources.json).
   Type is one family, Archivo: wide + black for display, normal for text.
   Color is the lake, the maple, the sap, the ink — used as blocks, not tints.
