Subject: [PATCH 2/2] docs(content-collection): document collection views incl.
event-row
Add an "Available Views" reference table to the Collection block README
covering all six views (card, article-grid, citation, date-title-summary,
slides-gallery, event-row) with a "best for" note, a layout description,
and a front-matter usage example.
Also corrects the "Multiple Views" feature bullet, which listed view names
(compact, showcase, list, masonry) that never matched the actual view slugs.

+## 🖼️ Available Views
+
+Set `view` in a section's `_index.md` front matter (or `design.view` on a Collection block) to
+control how items are rendered. Views are resolved by name; an unrecognised value falls back to
+`card`.
+
+| `view` | Best for | Layout |
+|--------|----------|--------|
+| `card` _(default)_ | Blog posts, projects | Cover-image cards (title, summary, metadata) stacked in a single reading-width column. |
+| `article-grid` | Portfolios, showcases | The same cards arranged in a responsive multi-column grid (`columns` configurable). |
+| `citation` | Publications | Formatted APA/MLA citation rows (authors · year · title · venue) with attachment links. |
+| `date-title-summary` | News, changelogs | Minimal chronological list: date, title, and a short summary with a "Read more" link. |
+| `slides-gallery` | Slide decks | 16:9 thumbnails with a play overlay and slide count. |
+| `event-row` | Talks, events, press | Compact row: logo · title · date · location, with the summary beneath. |
+
+```yaml
+# In the collection's `_index.md` front matter:
+view: event-row
+```
