Drop the editor's "Why it's here" line

Browse Source 
After a rewrite of the prompt rule and a few more live issues the line still
read as a second abstract, so it goes entirely: the rule and the "why" key in
the editor's JSON, the parsing and 14-word cap, the Pick field, the
issue_articles and candidate_runs writes, the Brief prompt's per-pick why,
the explain output, the dashboard "editor" columns, and the rendering on the
web index, article and public pages, the Atom feed and both EPUB pages.

The "Matches: …" interests line stays (restyled in the next commit). The
issue_articles.why and candidate_runs.editor_why columns remain in the
schema unused; stored issue snapshots that still carry "why" deserialize
because Pick ignores unknown fields.

The dry run makes real DeepSeek, Claude and Voyage calls but publishes nothing and writes no
`issues` row. Read the printed lineup and the four report lines (`curation:`, `admission:`,
`preference:`, `providers:`); the cost should be well under $1. Then read the EPUB it wrote

many were reused versus requested. The bulk-side cost of the second run is therefore small; the

move with it). The same trick works for the bulk role: `DAILY_EPUB_LLM__BULK=gemini`.
