Click-to-enlarge lightbox for article figures

Clicking a figure image opens a full-viewport overlay: the image as
large as fits (100vw, flex-shrunk to leave exactly the caption's
height) with the caption below. Click or any key closes it; wheel and
touch scrolling stop at the overlay (overscroll-behavior: contain).

Styling lives in the base theme: blurred dark backdrop (theme-tunable
via --lightbox-bg / --lightbox-text), soft shadow, reduced-motion-aware
open animation.
