   PAGE — THE PROJECT FILES (page-projects).
   ALL selectors scoped under .pfiles (the <main> root) so nothing leaks into
   the shared nav/footer chrome.

   Authority: WOW_CONTRACTS "page:projects" + picks.json "page:projects" (G001
   tab plates + red week counts; GRAFTS: filter tabs + search + IN-PROGRESS
   %-complete gauge dials from G003; Current|Completed split kept; the gallery
   block, catalog #12) + the locked board slice (section-page-projects.jpg)
   + DESIGN.md.

   Palette from tokens.css ONLY: base #222222 · accent #C2231B Signal Red ·
   support #B7BCC1 Polished Steel · breath #E9E6E1 Primer · ink-deep #141414.
   Radius 0 = machined edge everywhere. Big Shoulders display / Plex Mono labels.

   THE ONE CONSISTENT GRADE (DESIGN.md photography treatment), shared verbatim
   with the home cells so every image on the site reads one look:
     filter: saturate(0.92) contrast(1.03) brightness(1.0) sepia(0.14) hue-rotate(-6deg);

   THE SEMANTIC TELL (WOW contract): Current cards' gauge dials idle-TREMBLE
   (still running); Completed dials rest FULL + still. Same dial, different life.

/* ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   CLS GUARD (MECHANICAL) — metric-adjusted fallback for the display heading.
   Big Shoulders is a hard CONDENSED face (~65% the width of a system sans);
   on font-swap the wide default fallback wraps to MORE lines than the final
   condensed cut (e.g. "THE PROJECT FILES" = 1 line condensed / 2 lines raw at
   desktop; 2 vs 3 on mobile), jumping the whole page down (CLS 0.23). This
   fallback squeezes the pre-swap text to Big Shoulders' width so it wraps to
   the SAME line count → the swap doesn't move the grid/filter/lede. Paired with
   a min-height reservation on .pfiles__title below (belt-and-suspenders).
   size-adjust:68% tuned on-page across the full width spectrum (desktop 1440 →
   mobile 300px): the adjusted fallback wraps to the SAME line count as the final
   condensed cut at every breakpoint (measured lineDelta = 0), so the swap moves
   nothing. Scoped to my page only. */
