/* ============================================================
   News list — the filter bar, the section pills and the story grid.

   Ported from the mockup's `.nfilterbar` / `.npills` / `.ngrid` / `.ncard`
   (styles/news.css). Deltas, deliberate:
     · the column count is a setting (`columns`), so the same block serves a
       three-up newsroom and a two-up "related stories" band;
     · the mockup's `.ngrid--capped` nth-child cap is gone. Hiding cards with
       CSS means every story is in the markup on every visit — 71 pictures for
       nine cards — so the cap is the SERVER's (`perPage`) and "Load more" is a
       real link to a real page;
     · the mockup's magnifier is a real submit button, because with JavaScript
       off it is the only thing that applies the year;
     · the folds are container queries on the section (true in the editor
       canvas), not the mockup's viewport media queries.
