Authors write a ```columns fenced block (columns separated by a line of
===); Pandoc passes the body through verbatim as <pre class="columns">,
and a new post-Pandoc transform in lib.wiki.expand_columns expands it
into a flex <div> of <poem> columns. Runs entirely Pi-side before the
MediaWiki API write — no wiki template or PHP extension required.
The transform lives in shared lib/wiki.py (called from markdown_to_wikitext),
so it is universal across all pipelines. Stdlib only; no new deps.
