Epic #705. blog-entry-component.html renders media with mat-grid-list cols="3" rowHeight="1:1" unconditionally — three columns on a phone squashes tiles to thumbnail-of-a-thumbnail size; no breakpoint logic exists in the component or SCSS.

Shape: either a BreakpointObserver-driven cols signal (1/2/3 at handset/tablet/desktop) or replace mat-grid-list with CSS grid repeat(auto-fill, minmax(140px, 1fr)) (simpler, no JS). Lightbox/full-size view on tap is a natural companion but can be its own follow-up.

Epic #705. `blog-entry-component.html` renders media with `mat-grid-list cols="3" rowHeight="1:1"` unconditionally — three columns on a phone squashes tiles to thumbnail-of-a-thumbnail size; no breakpoint logic exists in the component or SCSS. **Shape:** either a `BreakpointObserver`-driven cols signal (1/2/3 at handset/tablet/desktop) or replace `mat-grid-list` with CSS grid `repeat(auto-fill, minmax(140px, 1fr))` (simpler, no JS). Lightbox/full-size view on tap is a natural companion but can be its own follow-up.

Migrated to spikerj/spikersoft-angular#630 as part of the umbrella-tracker breakup.

Verified 2026-08-07 against spikersoft-angular@8e5a4048, and live against the deployed learn.spikersoft.com bundle (main-KZKZUOSX.js).
Status: not started — All of it (either a breakpoint-driven cols signal or the CSS-grid repeat(auto-fill, minmax(140px, 1fr)) replacement).

Closing here. Work now lives in the repo that holds the fix, so fixes #630 in a PR will auto-close it on merge. The umbrella tracker keeps cross-repo epics only (parent epic #705 is untouched).
