/* ==========================================================
   Progressive disclosure
   The Scholar page carries a prospectus worth of detail. A reader
   arriving cold should meet the argument, not the whole file, so the
   elaboration folds away behind a labelled toggle and the claim stays
   in the open.

   Two shapes, one language, both borrowing the bronze marker the FAQ
   and the decide rail already use so a fold reads as the same gesture
   everywhere on the site:
     .lv-more   one fold under a passage — the detail for whoever wants it
     .lv-fold   a fold per item — titles are the scannable layer
   Both are real <details>, so in-page search, deep links and print
   still reach the content.
