  /* =========== 2026 OUTING GALLERY (added 2026-09-02, replaces the 2025 carousel) ===========
     Justified rows: each .g26-tile carries --ar (width / height). flex-grow and
     flex-basis are both proportional to --ar, so every tile in a row resolves to
     the same height and mixed portrait / landscape frames sit flush. The ::after
     spacer stops the final row from stretching. aspect-ratio + width/height on
     the <img> mean the layout is final before a single byte of image arrives.
     Breakpoint overrides live in 15-responsive.css only. */
