Subject: [PATCH] home3 refinements: clamp summary, bigger titles/logo/nav,
crop art edge, clearer CTA
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
- News summary + headline clamped to 3 lines so the long brief gist no longer stretches
the bento (option 1; placeholder-bubble option still available if preferred).
- News CTA "Read the brief" → "Read the good news" (clearer for first-time visitors).
- Art swatch crops a few px off every edge (::after inset) to remove the black scan edge
at the top of paintings.
- Logo 42→48px, nav 15→16.5px, card titles bumped + weight 500→600 so they pop on scan.
