Tables

Mist head with a navy 0.75pt underrule, hairline rows, Fog on even rows, mono right-aligned figures, a quiet trailing column for classification, and a total row bounded by two 1pt navy rules. One value per cell. Show the full build: never post a total whose arithmetic a reader cannot follow line by line. Every figure on this card is a placeholder.

Basis. Table headers wrap. A nowrap header widens the widest table past the page, and Chromium then shrink-to-fit scales the whole PDF, which silently drops every type size below the print floor at once. Fix a wide table by wrapping its heads and shortening a cell.

A next step that names nobody is not a next step.
