> However, opacity is also added to the heading of the topic on the right-hand side, but not to the content. I don’t understand this. I’d expect it to either be added to both elements or none. Is this intentional?

It does not appear to be intentional, we use some fragile CSS selectors here (nth-of-type) so it seems we’re just applying the style in places we shouldn’t. Solution is to apply the styles to explicit class names… doing this here:
