Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the Related Posts block in the Single template with Payton at responsive viewport widths, then inspect the featured-image markup and styles, including the .jp-related-posts-i2__post-img-link img selector. Done means thumbnails keep their intended proportions without distortion across the affected widths.
