Share sidebar, prose, footer, and comment chrome between PostLayout and the upcoming spotlight layout.
Full-bleed cover band with title and date overlay, aligned to the post grid. Uses images[1] for the hero via getSpotlightHeroImage.
Auto-apply the spotlight layout when a post includes the spotlight tag; explicit layout in frontmatter still overrides.
images[0] is featured.jpg for social previews; images[1] is hero.jpg for the in-page cover band.
Position the header over the hero on spotlight pages with light nav text. Show the cover at native aspect ratio on desktop so less of the photo is cropped.
Taller hero band with stronger gradients, smaller title and shorter date, left-aligned author row, and clearer overlay nav on small screens.
Frame Kurt's portrait better in narrow viewports while keeping desktop object position unchanged.
Use calc-based full-bleed breakout, drop nested SectionContainer, enable sidebar grid from 1000px, and share section width classes site-wide.
Remove overflow clipping and calc full-bleed that truncated the hero. Use full-width main for spotlight pages with header and content sharing postSectionClasses alignment.
Keeps the Apply CTA on desktop spotlight pages and on all layouts at smaller widths where the full nav is not shown.
