The real failure mode is 0-1 images (wall of text); two heroes read fine on the 1-2 column layouts. Keep ~4 as the aim — prefer hero-bearing candidates among equal fits, more images for bigger bundles — since 2 among 8 items still looks thin on the wide 4-column grid. Restores the 3-item minimum bundle size. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WZaczDJjL3xZ3u5spsN5AL
