Reader mode presents the stories on a page one at a time in a focused
overlay, marking each read as it's shown. Left/right arrows (or the header
book button / `f`) page through them; read stories dim on the grid. Read
state is device-local in localStorage.
Backing this required actually capturing article bodies, which Pete wasn't
doing — it kept only the RSS <description> lede and discarded content:encoded:
- stories.content column (idempotent migration; old rows fall back to lede)
- parser keeps content:encoded as paragraph-preserving text
- article fetch already done for paywall detection now also returns its body,
so ingest stores the richer of feed-content vs scraped body with no extra
request (prefers the archive snapshot body for paywalled stories)
- GET /api/article?id= serves the stored text; card queries now select id and
expose it as data-id for the reader
Tests cover content extraction, the storage round-trip, and the article
endpoint + card rendering end to end.
Two ingestion changes:
- extractLede replaced HTML tags with empty string, so adjacent
block tags like </p><p> fused words across paragraphs. Replace
tags with a space and collapse whitespace.
- Pull each item's <language> tag (or dc:language) into FeedItem
so the poller can filter on it. Politico Europe publishes the
same story in en / fr / de side-by-side and we want to keep
only one language per source.
