How to apply this fix

  1. Add <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> to the document head.
  2. Avoid disabling zoom (no user-scalable=no or maximum-scale=1) for accessibility.
  3. Verify the layout reflows correctly on small screens after the change.
  4. Re-scan to confirm the viewport meta tag is detected.
