/* ── Name story ──
   The plate is short and wide and the prose is tall, so centring the
   two left the plate floating in a void. The section heading now sits
   above the plate instead of above the prose, which gives both columns
   content top to bottom. The heading stays above its own paragraphs;
   both columns simply start at the top rather than being centred.

   No position:sticky here, though it would suit it: `body` carries
   `overflow-x: hidden`, which computes overflow-y to `auto` and makes
   body a scroll container while `<html>` is what actually scrolls.
   Sticky then resolves against a box that never moves and does nothing
   (overflow-x: clip does not release it either). Freeing it means
   changing a global on body — not worth it for one column. */

   Panel is sticky on wide screens only: it is shorter than the step list,
