   rule marked below. If this section ever looks broken again, the fastest
   fix is to diff it back against that source file rather than guessing.
   (A second additive rule — a link on the author name — was removed: the
   whole card is already an <a>, and an <a> nested inside another <a> is
   invalid HTML that browsers "fix" by closing the outer link early, which
   is what was splitting .cat-block-body out into its own grid column.) */
