   AllCoaching Blog v3 — "guide" layout (2026-10-24)
   Reading layout modelled on the Shopify blog: Inter at weight 330 for
   headlines, 20px grey body copy, a three-column grid with a sticky
   "On this page" rail, a CTA card and a related-posts rail, visuals on
   soft gradient panels. Loaded after brand.css on posts that use the
   v3 template (body.v3). Colour stays AllCoaching: electric blue accent.
