thalladaandClaude Fable 5.1 ca910d99e5 Web dashboard v2 step 4: table-of-contents sidebar
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.

//! The `generate` pipeline, wired end to end (spec §2, §3.6 wiring).
//!
//! ```text
//! Miniflux ingest ─▶ dedupe ─▶ extraction ─▶ persist ─▶ social enrichment
//! ─▶ hygiene ─▶ embeddings + signals ─▶ triage ─▶ admission ─▶ deep assessment
//! ─▶ utility + shortlist ─▶ editor ─▶ comments ─▶ summaries + brief
//! ─▶ world briefing ─▶ behind the paper ─▶ EPUB (standard + X4) ─▶ XTC
//! ─▶ publish ─▶ report
//! ```
//!
//! Failure policy (notes §3):
//!
//! * **Fatal** — Miniflux ingest, SQLite writes, EPUB assembly, publishing. Without
//! any one of them there is no issue, so the run fails loudly and the `runs` row
//! records why.
//! * **Best effort** — social enrichment, comments, the world briefing, images and
//! the XTC conversion. They log, add a warning to the report (status `degraded`)
//! and the run continues.
//! * **Degrading** — every LLM stage. A missing key, a dead API or a tripped
//! provider `max_daily_usd` guardrail turns the run into the `--skip-llm` shape
//! (cheap-signal admission, feed excerpts as summaries) rather than
//! losing the day's issue.
//!
//! The run is idempotent per date (notes §12): entries, articles, assessments and the
//! issue itself are upserted, `issue_articles` is replaced wholesale, and the
//! published filenames are derived from the date.
