Description
Is it the last-baseline of the first fragmentainer or the last?
Today in an inline-context the baseline is always synthesized from the block-end border-box edge. (We likely aren't restricted by compat here however).

Research direction
Start by reading the css-align-3 and css-multicol specifications, then trace how last-baseline and fragmentainers are defined for multi-column layout. Resolve whether the baseline comes from the first or last fragmentainer, document the decision in the relevant specification text, and confirm the wording is consistent with the existing inline-context rule.
