+      <div class="container-good">
+        <p>This paragraph sits inside a max-width container that's centered and has 32px horizontal padding. It does not touch the viewport edges and should not trigger the rule.</p>

+      <nav class="site-nav">
+        <p>This nav legitimately bleeds to the edges as a full-width header strip; the rule excludes elements inside &lt;nav&gt; or &lt;header&gt; so this does not flag.</p>

+      <p>The flag cases above (rendered outside this grid) demonstrate the failure. The pass cases here show acceptable patterns. The rule gates aggressively to avoid false positives: it only flags &lt;p&gt; and &lt;li&gt; with &gt;40 chars whose width spans more than 50% of the viewport AND whose rect.left or rect.right is within 16px of a viewport edge AND which are not inside nav/header AND which have no own background-color AND which are in normal flow (not position:fixed/absolute).</p>
