thalladaandClaude Fable 5.1 29c66da865 Merge branch 'v2-frontend': Tailwind design system, theme toggle, reader pages
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.

//! Seed a throwaway development database so the web site can be browsed
//! locally with realistic data — two issues (one with the full `issue_json`
//! snapshot, one "legacy" issue without it), their runs, an admin and a
//! reader account. For design work and manual smoke tests only; never run it
//! against the production database.
//!
//! ```text
//! cargo run --example seed_dev_db -- ./dev
//! DAILY_EPUB_SERVER__HMAC_SECRET=$(head -c 48 /dev/urandom | base64) \
//! cargo run -- --config ./dev/config.toml serve
//! ```
//!
//! Then open http://127.0.0.1:3599 and sign in as `admin` / `adminpassword123`
//! or `reader` / `readerpassword123`.
