   CRAFT PASS
   Three things make a page read as machine-made: every section built to the

   glows behind everything, and identical rounded rectangles throughout.
   This section breaks all three.

   and is bottom aligned to the heading, which is where the asymmetry comes
   from rather than from indenting the title away from everything else. */
