   GLOBAL MOBILE FIX — Inline two/three-column grids
   Many sections across the site use hard-coded inline
   grid-template-columns (e.g. "1fr 1fr", "3fr 2fr") with no
   responsive fallback, causing horizontal overflow and
   broken layout on mobile. This rule forces every such grid
   to stack into a single column below 820px, using attribute
   selectors so no HTML edits are required.
