…o card width with container query
…nd adjust responsive columns
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe changes update maintainer, contributor, and instructor layouts to use container queries, auto-fit columns, revised breakpoints, unconstrained child widths, and responsive page spacing. ChangesResponsive card layouts
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to On the contributors page, some full maintainer cards may remain capped at 252px while their grid columns are wider, leaving avoidable empty space and an inconsistent layout. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a small follow-up to remove that cap in full-card mode. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Maintainer card grids sized their columns from the viewport while the cards themselves were capped at a fixed width, so the two disagreed: cards stopped growing while their grid tracks kept expanding, and the leftover space turned into gaps. Narrow screens also dropped to a single column, turning a 40-person list into a very long scroll.

MaintainerCard— the name switched fromsm:text-ds-mono-lg(viewport) to@[13rem]:text-ds-mono-lg(card width). The card is now an@container, so the name follows the space it actually has rather than the window size.Grids —

That matters on the contributors page, where the partners sidebar leaves the content column far narrower than the window — a viewport breakpoint forced 3 columns into a 380px area.
The two-column floor replaces the old single-column step. On a 375px screen a 40-person list goes from roughly 18,600px of scroll to 5,640px (~70% less) while the avatar stays at 148px, which is still large enough to recognize a face.
Home — added
sm:grid-cols-3between the existing 2- and 5-column steps, and matched the loading skeleton so the layout does not shift when content arrives.Workshops — moved the 4-column step from
