## MODIFIED Requirements

### Requirement: Editorial image treatment remains self-hosted and deterministic
Public photography SHALL continue to use validated self-hosted uploads and responsive variants. Editorial layouts MUST use CSS-only tonal treatment and alternating aspect ratios for portfolio media while retaining document order and the image component's `srcset`, `sizes`, dimensions and loading behavior. The system MUST NOT introduce external image CDN dependencies that compromise browser-test reliability.

#### Scenario: Public pages do not depend on external stock hosts

- **WHEN** the visual or browser suite loads covered public routes
- **THEN** content images MUST resolve from the application media disk or static fixtures
- **AND** MUST NOT require network access to third-party stock hosts

#### Scenario: Editorial portfolio media retains responsive delivery

- **WHEN** a portfolio listing or gallery applies an editorial image proportion
- **THEN** the rendered image MUST still expose the responsive media component markup
- **AND** image order and lazy-loading behavior MUST remain intact
