- Builds the "In this article" list from the post's own section headings (skipping the embedded
Key takeaways, Quick answer, CTA and FAQ blocks), highlights the section being read, and draws
the reading-progress line.
- Adds the practice label and reading time to the hero, and the practice link to the side card
(mapped from the post's category-* classes, so messy category names never show).
- Links the author to their profile on the team page; an author who is not on the team (a
system account) is shown as the firm instead.
- Labels the related-article cards and reveals them on scroll.
No dependencies; runs once per page. */
