container - while .hero-main keeps its full 560px. The two collide: measured at
1150px the image starts at x=722 and the standfirst ran to x=786, a 64px overlap,
on EVERY blog post (verified on foxess-battery-review-uk and are-solar-panels-worth-
it-uk, neither of which had been edited). The h1 clears; the standfirst does not.
The image sits at (viewport - 428) and the text column starts at a fixed 292, so the
text must stop at viewport - 744 to keep a 24px gap. Above ~1304px the natural 560px
is already narrower than that, so the band closes on its own. */
