  The aside is sticky ONLY while the longread is genuinely two columns.
  The grid is `repeat(auto-fit, minmax(min(300px,100%),1fr))` with a
  clamp(30px,5vw,80px) gap, so two columns need roughly 300+300+gap plus the
  page gutter -- it collapses to one column below about 770px.

  Left sticky in one column, the aside pins at top:110px while the body scrolls
  underneath it, and the two overlap. Measured at 390px wide: 314px of overlap.

  Declared static first and switched on at a min-width, so the failure mode of
  the query not matching is "no sticky" rather than "overlapping text".
