- Lightbox lives outside #main-content so HTMX never destroys it
- Gallery dispatches window events to open/close lightbox
- Add hx-history-elt to #main-content so only that element is snapshotted
- Remove view-transition-name to avoid duplicate conflict on history restore
- Close lightbox on navigation via lightbox:close event

Root cause: media container was position:absolute inset-0 but without
z-index, while buttons had no z-index either — in fill mode the image
painted over the buttons making close/fill-toggle unclickable.
Fixes:
- Media div is now absolute inset-0 (explicit), chrome bars are z-10
- Top bar is a single flex row (h-14): left spacer | counter | FILL+✕
so counter, fill toggle and close are vertically aligned at the same
height instead of scattered absolute elements
- Bottom bar is a flex row (h-14) centred over dots
- Both bars have a linear-gradient scrim so chrome stays legible over
fill-mode images without a solid background
- Prev/Next arrows get z-10 so they always sit above the media
- Media padding uses pt-14 pb-14 in fit mode to clear the chrome bars

Add fill state (default false) to the Alpine lightbox data:
- FILL button (top-right, left of ✕): switches media to object-cover,
filling the entire overlay edge-to-edge; button turns heat pink
- FIT restores object-contain with padding; button returns to fog
- Keyboard shortcut F toggles fill while lightbox is open
- close() resets fill to false for the next open
- transition-all duration-300 on container padding and media for
a smooth morph between modes

Hugo pre-computes a JSON array of {img, video} entries per gallery item
(WebP 1200w src + optional mp4 src). Alpine reads the array and manages
lightbox state (open/idx/prev/next/close).
Features:
- Click any card → opens fullscreen dark overlay (bg-void/95 + backdrop-blur)
- Videos: controls, autoplay, x-effect reloads src on navigate
- Images: full-res WebP centred with object-contain
- Keyboard: Escape closes, ←/→ navigate
- Dot indicators: active dot expands (heat colour)
- Prev/next arrow buttons (hidden when only 1 item)
- Grid cards: cursor-zoom-in, pointer-events-none on media so click
always hits the <figure>
- Teleported to <body> via x-teleport to avoid stacking context issues
- Gradient-line accent top and bottom of overlay

Add layouts/partials/img.html helper that resizes and converts any Hugo
page-resource image to WebP, emitting a responsive srcset at multiple
widths. Wire it up to every image rendering site:
- post-card.html: thumbnail (600w/1000w) + avatar (64px WebP)
- post-card-large.html: featured card background (800w/1200w)
- posts/single.html: banner (1200w/1800w, eager) + gallery (800w/1200w)
- author-card.html: avatar (96px WebP, 2× retina)
Result: banner.png 7.9 MB → 496 KB WebP at 1800w (−94 %).
Hugo caches processed images in resources/_gen/ across builds.
