Web dashboard v2 step 2: Tailwind design system, theme toggle, reader pages

Replaces the hand-written stylesheet with a Tailwind CSS v4 source
(src/web/tailwind.css) whose minified build is committed as
src/web/static/app.css and still embedded with include_str!, so the binary
and the test suite never need Node. package.json pins tailwindcss and
@tailwindcss/cli to 4.3.3 and adds css, css:watch and css:check.

Colours are semantic CSS variables swapped per theme and exposed to Tailwind
through @theme inline, so templates write bg-paper/text-ink/border-rule once
and both themes work. theme.js runs synchronously in <head> to set
data-theme before paint; app.js cycles the toggle system -> light -> dark and
persists the choice. Newsreader is self-hosted and served from
web::static_asset with the same ETag/304 logic as the other assets.

Every reader template is restyled: ears row, centred masthead with its rules,
tracked section labels, the drop cap on The Brief, "Why it's here" with its
accent bar, the segmented rating control, prev/next cards, and the colophon
as a two-column definition grid. Dashboard templates are untouched (step 3).

Also fixes a .block collision with Tailwind's display utility, the SVG
`hidden` property that never toggled the theme icon, and points the dev
seed's profile_path at ./dev so previewing cannot rewrite data/profile.md.
