   Define IT Solution — insights.css
   Published Insight cards and the article template.

   The card artwork is a CSS background layered over the existing
   .post-card__thumb, which already renders a dark grid gradient. That
   ordering is the whole missing-image strategy: if the file is not there
   yet, the placeholder underneath simply shows through. There is no
   broken-image icon to handle because there is no <img> to break, and the
   card keeps its 16:9 box either way.
