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 web index, the article page and both EPUB pages each ordered the same
metadata differently, and the "understanding" line was one wall of text
with the why line above it on one page and below it on another. Every
surface now reads title, meta, rubric, why block, summary:
- the rubric is a newspaper kicker (topic group and format in small caps)
followed by the specific topics; depth and technicality stay on the
dashboard article page only
- the accent-bar why block holds the editor's line and "Matches: …" (the
matched interests) beneath it
- the social line moves after the summary on the article page and chapter,
matching the index pages, and the EPUB chapter footer no longer carries
the understanding line
`understanding_line` becomes an `Understanding { kicker, topics, interests }`
struct shared by the web view models and the EPUB, and the three web
templates include one `_understanding.html` partial.

Every list of articles now reads "Author · Feed · Publication · N min":
the signed-in issue page, the public issue page, the RSS feed and the
EPUB's In This Issue page. `author_label` drops an author that is empty
or only repeats the feed's title, as a dozen personal blogs do. Article
pages keep their own byline.

Readers see "Feed · Publication" on the issue, article, public and RSS
pages and in the EPUB index and chapter headers; the publication is the
page's site name, else its domain, and is dropped when it would repeat
the feed's title. Admins get the feed name linked to its Miniflux page.

The operator reads the site at 110% browser zoom; make that the default
scale. Tailwind v4 utilities are rem-based, so `html { font-size:110% }`
scales type, spacing, columns and controls together the way zoom does,
while media queries keep firing at the same viewport widths.
Things that did not scale with the root size and had to move:
- the `lg` reader grid is now 15rem + gap-x-8 (was 16rem + gap-x-10) so
the TOC sidebar and the 68ch article still fit at 1024-1100px;
- the TOC reveal margin in app.js is 1.5rem of the computed root size
instead of a fixed 24px, and the run funnel SVG height is `h-3`;
- long unbreakable tokens on the phone-width dashboard (settings group
ids and headings, config warnings, run warnings) now wrap with
`overflow-wrap:anywhere`, and the feed candidates table sits in the
same `.scroll-x` wrapper as the other dashboard tables. Overview and
feeds already overflowed a 390px viewport before this change; settings
started to. All three fit now.
Verified with before/after screenshots of 27 pages at 390-1440px on the
seeded dev database: no page body scrolls horizontally, the reader
layout, TOC sidebar and dashboard match the old 110%-zoom rendering.

A muted one-line note now follows every article: the deep assessment's
topic group, format, depth and technicality, the specific topics it
extracted, and the reader interests the article matched best, e.g.
Software engineering · analysis essay · in depth · highly technical ·
Topics: copy-on-write, ZFS · Interests: Filesystems, Rust
It renders on the web article page footer, on the public and private
issue-page entries, in the EPUB article footer and in the EPUB "In This
Issue" index (both editions), always styled like the existing meta lines
so it stays secondary to the content.
`Pick` gains `top_interests` (serde default, no migration), filled from
the signals stage when the editor assembles the lineup; the facets were
already on the issue snapshot via `Pick.llm`, so earlier issues show the
facet and topic parts and only future issues carry interests. One shared
builder, `understanding_line` in epub::chapters, feeds every surface.
The dev seed gives four picks facets and interests so the line can be
eyeballed locally.

Download hrefs were built with form encoding, which turns the spaces in
"The Daily EPUB - <date>.epub" into "+"; in a URL path that is a literal
plus, so /files/epub/<name> never matched the file. They now use the
same path-segment percent-encoder the OPDS feed already uses, and the
download-menu test follows the rendered link and expects 200.
The Read in BookOrbit button renders only for admins, and the
/issues/{date}/read redirect answers 403 to other signed-in users.

Signed-in issue and article pages now carry an admin-only link to the
article's dashboard page. The separate Download EPUB / X4 EPUB / XTC
buttons become one "Download EPUB" button (Standard edition first) with a
no-JS <details> menu listing every available format and its size.

The signed-in issue page shows a Read in BookOrbit button (only when the
integration is active and the Standard EPUB exists) that hits
/issues/{date}/read. The route redirects to the cached BookOrbit reader
URL, or resolves the ids through OPDS on first click and caches them;
?refresh=1 re-resolves. Not indexed yet is a 503, upstream failures 502.
Includes the implementation plan.

- The open hamburger panel now fills the viewport below the sticky bar
(100dvh, measured bar offset) and locks the page behind it. Locking only
the root element: locking body too made it its own scroll container and
un-stuck the bar.
- Front-page scroll-spy: the current chapter marker, mobile label/counter,
desktop "Chapter N of M" line and both progress bars follow the reader
through "In This Issue"; passed chapters read in ink. The sidebar
auto-scrolls to keep the current chapter in view.
- The sidebar scrollbar sits in a reserved gutter instead of over the text.
- Hamburger cross-fades to a close icon; 44px tap targets on phones.

Signed-in issue pages (issue, article, world, behind) get a chapter list
that marks where the reader is. One `issue_toc` helper builds it for all
four handlers: the picks in issue order numbered across sections, then
World Briefing, Behind the paper and a colophon anchor, with
position/total over the navigable chapters.
At `lg` and up it is a sticky left column with its own sticky header
(issue number, "Chapter N of M", a 2px progress bar); below `lg` the same
`<nav>` collapses behind a sticky hamburger bar and drops down as a
panel that closes on link tap, Escape and outside tap. Without JS the
panel is simply visible; `theme.js` marks the document scripted before
paint so it never flashes open. Article pages advance the progress bar
with scroll position through `requestAnimationFrame`, and the bar is a
`<progress>` element because a percentage width would need an inline
style the CSP forbids.
Also fixes the phone "ears" row from the step 2 review: the row no
longer wraps at 390px, the dateline has a short form below `sm:`, and
the toggle and account link stay on one line.

Resolves the step 1 / step 2 overlap in the issue and world templates:
public entries carry the summary and why lines in the new styling, and the
legacy colophon renders n/a for unknown counts.

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.

Public issue pages and the Atom feed now carry each pick's summary and
'Why it's here' line (bodies, The Brief, World Briefing and comments stay
private). Issues stored before issues.issue_json existed rebuild their
colophon and Behind the paper from issues.report_json / the run row and
candidate_runs, and recover the World Briefing chapter from the EPUB on
disk. The dev seed mirrors that legacy shape.

Users page, README and config.example updates, implementation notes, the
