   Photo dividers, legibility and fit. Aubury & Co, 26 September 2026.
   The ghosted word over a full-bleed photograph washed out on bright rooms
   (white walls, window light) and the longest name, Northumberland, could run
   off the edge. A soft centre-weighted shade now sits behind the word, the word
   is near-solid cream with a gentle shadow, and js/dividers.js shrinks any word
   that would not fit inside 90% of the band. Loaded last so it wins over the
   older rules in place-page.css and project-page.css. Not used on the homepage,
   whose dividers are lit by their own scroll-driven curtain.
