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.
Manual !post overrides were counted toward daily_cap_total, so a few
forced posts could starve the round-robin rotation for the rest of the
day. Tag forced rows in post_log and skip them in CountAllPostsInWindow
so the cap only meters the auto-rotation.
Pete moves to a remote host without Ollama access. Every source must
declare a direct_route channel; the classifier, explainer, semantic
dedup, !explain summaries, feed_hint, and the recent_headlines /
classification_log tables are gone. Deterministic dedup (canonical URL,
headline_norm, per-channel cooldown) remains.
