  ============================================================
  TEMPLATE: landscape_4col  (ARIS fork)
  CANVAS:   60in × 36in landscape (ICML / NeurIPS / generic landscape)
  LAYOUT:   header → optional banner → 4 body columns → optional takeaways → footer
  USE WHEN: standard ML conference poster with 3-5 content cards per column,
            mix of figures + equations + small tables.
  HOW TO USE:
    1. Copy this file to your working directory as `poster.html`.
    2. Edit the DESIGN TOKENS in `:root` to your lab/venue colors.
    3. Replace TODO content placeholders (search for "TODO").
    4. Run `python tools/run_gates.py poster.html --tokens design_tokens.json` (the default driver: preflight -> style -> measure -> polish; design_tokens.json is the design-direction pack written at lock time -- SKILL.md Step 2.5) to align columns and check style/structure.
    5. Run `python tools/render_preview.py poster.html` to produce the PDF.
  NOTE: as shipped, this scaffold passes `preflight` (structure) but is
    EXPECTED to FAIL `measure`/`polish` -- figures are commented out and copy
    is TODO stubs, so columns only fill the top of the canvas. Those two gates
    judge a FILLED poster; balance them once you've added real content. See
    templates/README.md ("Scaffolds, not finished posters").
  MEASURE ROLES: every layout-critical element carries `data-measure-role`.
  Generic measurement scripts depend on these — do not remove.

  CANVAS RETARGETING: to print at another size, change the canvas in exactly
    TWO places that must stay in sync -- the `@page { size: ... }` rule and the
    `.poster { width/height }` (also the `@media print .poster { width/height }`).
    Example: ICLR 2026 main conference uses 185cm 90cm landscape (official print
    service spec) -- set @page to `185cm 90cm`, width to `1850 * var(--u)` and
    height to `900 * var(--u)` (and the print-override .poster to `185cm`/`90cm`).
