When a block library grows beyond buttons and cards, the next problem is rhythm. Article layouts need a predictable reading width, but they also need places for context, secondary media, and editor notes.

This version keeps the story column focused while moving the supporting context into a side card. That makes it useful for essays, changelogs, interviews, and longer release notes.

Build it with semantic sections, card surfaces, and a small set of reusable UI primitives instead of one-off editorial CSS.
