Super weird browser behavior that has bitten me multiple times that I always forget how to solve...

If you have images as direct children of a flex container in a table cell, the browser doesn't give the table cell enough width, like it can't compute the content size 🧐
The solution (which is so weird) is to wrap the images in `div` or `span` elements, and move any sizing to the span instead of the image. Then magically all is fixed.

Weird as hell, and happens in all browsers.
So @malfaitrobin got to the real root of this problem for me — it’s actually due to `max-width: 100%` on img tags in the Tailwind reset 👀 Adding `max-w-none` fixes 👍🏻

Still unintuitive as hell but glad to have more info 😅
