+/**
+ * #467: "Is there a way how to change the width of exported HTML?" — there was
+ * not. The exporter wrote `max-width: 900px` into every file it produced, which
+ * is neither the user's Preview → Max width (#346–#349, renamed in #456) nor
+ * even the app's own default of 880.
+ *
+ * Everything below resolves the stylesheet the export actually emits, rather
+ * than matching on the source of the template that emits it. A test that
+ * grepped `export.ts` for a width would stay green with the value going
+ * nowhere: the declaration only means something once it is inside the `<style>`
+ * block of a built document, attached to a selector the exported `<article
+ * class="markdown-body">` matches, and last in the cascade. The last two tests
+ * run the real `exportAsHtml` end to end and read the bytes it hands to
+ * `save_file_content`, on the harness `exportRichContent.test.ts` established.
