/* ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   GOBLINS & GUNSLINGERS — FRONTIER DISPATCHES (blog) LAYER, 2026-09
   Loads after gng-2026.css + gng-awards.css on /blog, /blog/<slug>
   and the static blog/index.html. Owns the newspaper masthead, the
   lead story, the dispatch cards (with real cover art), the article
   reading layout (progress rule, sticky contents rail, featured card
   object), the trail of first reads, and the wire-signup plate.
   Vocabulary: .dsp-* here; .gx-* and .gng-* primitives remain valid.
   Category tint is data-driven: [data-category="strategy|guides|
   lore|news|development-update"] sets --dsp-tint.
