Keep margin boxes in the column flow, position them out of flow

::: aside / .margin blocks no longer split the column segments: they
stay inside the .colseg at their anchor point, so the surrounding text
is measured and laid out as a single columned layout (split-off sides
previously lost .cols when too short on their own).

The zone placements (multicol side zone, sidebar track, wide gutter)
now position the boxes absolutely off the article's left border —
unaffected by any column layout inside — with the vertical spot coming
from the unset top (where the box occurs in the text). Narrow widths
keep the in-column float fallback. Trade-off: out-of-flow boxes no
longer stack via clear, so boxes anchored close together may overlap.

Code spans/blocks and raw HTML are left untouched. Fenced code blocks are highlighted server-side with **Pygments** (`nowrap` spans styled by `/_assets/pygments-*.css`, which maps every token class onto the `--code-*` variables; the base stylesheet defines light and dark palette sets resolved via `light-dark()`, so each theme gets the set matching its `color-scheme` and may only retint `--code-bg` to keep the well in the page's color family); a JS copy button appears on hover. Should this prove limiting, we implement our own renderer on top of html5tagger, which we already use for all HTML generation.
-- **Files are content-addressed.** Uploads (`PUT /_api/files/{filename}`) are stored on disk (`<hostname>/files/`, RAM-cached uncompressed + zstd) by content hash — blake3, first 6 bytes hex + original extension — and served immutable from `/_f/…`. Raster images (not GIF) and SVGs (rasterized) are recompressed via mediapreview: the original is kept as `{hash}.orig{ext}` (internal only, never served — it may carry EXIF data; SVG originals stay servable as `{hash}.svg`) while pages link the extension-less `/_f/{hash}` and the server picks from the derivatives (`{hash}.avif` / `{hash}.webp` / `{hash}.jpg`) by Accept header — a format only when listed explicitly (`image/avif` → AVIF, `image/webp` → WebP, otherwise JPEG), with `vary: accept`; an explicit extension in the URL pins the format. Absolute URLs that survive page renames and dedupe identical content; pages no longer own files. An image standing alone in its paragraph becomes a block `<figure>` — with `<figcaption>` when it has a title; images inline with text and raw `<img>` HTML stay plain inline images. Positioning is by attribute classes: `![alt](/_f/… "Caption"){.right}` — `{.right}`, `{.left}` float at 30% of the text column (the caption wraps within it; an explicit `width=300` makes the figure shrink-wrap the image instead), `{.margin}` makes it a margin note, floating in the side zone left of the text on all but phone widths, `{.wide}` goes full bleed (viewport edge to edge, or up to the docked editor; the sidebar stacks on top of it); plain attributes like `width=300` work too. The same brace syntax on a block's last line (no blank line between) applies to the whole block: a paragraph ending with `{.wide}` becomes a full-width element that breaks out of the column layout, and space-separated at the end of a text line (`some text {.small}`) the braces likewise belong to the block — a space is what keeps them off an image or link ending the line, which keep their own directly-attached attrs; text size classes `{.small}` / `{.large}` / `{.huge}` (em-based) work on any block; written on the line after a block it applies to that preceding block — this is how headings, `::: containers` and code fences take classes (a wide code fence goes full bleed like a wide figure). Headings (h1/h2) clear floats, so images never overflow into the next section.

-- The article column is sized by the **viewport, never by content**: a symmetric grid (`1fr minmax(0, 78rem) 1fr`) with flexible gutters keeps the layout stable across navigation. The sidebar occupies the left gutter, the right gutter balances it. Long articles (flagged `.multicol` by the backend render) lift the cap and become a bounded **composition**, centered in the available space with the surplus left vacant: a fluid text lane (up to 42rem) plus a 16rem **side zone at the article's left** — the region the nav sidebar overlays — which hosts margin boxes (`.margin`, `::: aside`, margin figures) at all but phone widths, without the text ever moving. On pages with a sidebar, the sidebar gets its own track at every width — flexible, 12rem when space is tight and growing up to 150% (18rem) once the viewport has room beyond the article, the sidebar keeping its left side on the viewport's edge — and the track is the left lane instead: no in-article zone, the text lane runs fluid up to 86rem leaning on the viewport's right edge (surplus extends the left lane), and the boxes hang into the lane off the article's left border (growing leftward with it, up to 18rem), sliding under the translucent sticky nav. Once two lanes fit beside the zone (≥96rem available in `main`), the text flows in two fluid lanes (36rem minimum, capped at 102rem total — technical content wants the wider lanes, and wider windows just add vacant space). The stages step by the space actually available in `main` (container queries + `cqw` units, so the docked editor's inset is automatic). `.wide` figures on multicol pages bleed to the viewport edges measured from `main` (`cqw`), sliding under the sidebar. The backend splits the body into `.colseg` segments at h1/h2 headings, `.wide` elements and margin blocks (full-width separators or margin boxes, never inside columns), tagging segments that hold enough text in at least two paragraphs (or one long enough to split) with `.cols` — code blocks are excluded from that measure, a `::: nocols` container opts its whole section out, and column-filling paragraphs are marked `.breakable` so they may split across the column gap (shorter paragraphs stay whole). On wide single-column pages (≥104rem), margin boxes lean into the vacant left gutter as well, growing with it up to 18rem.
