What does this change?
This builds on the revamped immersive layouts introduced in #15922 (which added portrait and landscape grids, background fade effects, etc.), but adapts the work so that it only applies to Guardian Labs immersives. This is the figma design
Specific changes in this PR include restricting the new grid immersive layouts to exclusively target ArticleSpecial.Labs content. Applying correct Labs design colors across the page (Labs header, standfirst, share buttons, follow icons, etc.) using a new keepsOriginalLabsColour helper to handle edge cases. Various fixes and polish on top of the base layout branch.
Looking at individual commits may help when reviewing.
Why?
Interactive atoms have long been used as a workaround for these immersive pages. This work finally makes these layouts built into the platform.
By scoping these structural changes strictly to Labs for now, we can safely deliver these layouts to commercial campaigns while ensuring the updated Guardian Labs branding is consistently applied.
How has this change been tested?
