   margins) until main.js confirms a real fill via AdSense's data-ad-status and
   adds .is-filled, at which point it expands to fit the rendered ad. While a
   slot is still trying to fill, the page reads exactly as if there were no ads
   at all -- and Google's iframe (which paints white before content arrives)
   stays clipped, so it can never flash against the dark theme. A confirmed
   non-fill (.is-empty) stays collapsed for good. The container keeps its full
   width while collapsed so adsbygoogle.js can still measure availableWidth;
