Surface read counts and sharpen the reader:
- story_views table + RecordStoryView on /api/article (background,
filter-guarded); "Popular this week" home rail via TrendingStories;
read-count badge and reading-time chip decorated onto every listing
- reader: signed-in-only read-aloud (TTS), native share/copy, and an
Aa typography popover (size/serif/sepia) persisted per device
- real alt text on card/reader/related/search images; time-of-day Pete
greeting on the home hero
- harden exec() to skip (not panic) on a nil DB so background writes
can't crash on a closed handle
Tests: story_views_test.go, trending_test.go. Suite green, CSS rebuilt.
- Add internal/safehttp: hardened HTTP client (DNS-resolved dial guard
blocking loopback/RFC1918/CGNAT/link-local, redirect re-validation,
body-size cap) and rewire article/feed/thumb clients through it
- Cap goquery body at 5 MiB so a hostile origin can't OOM the process
- search.js: reject non-http(s) hrefs to block stored XSS via javascript:
- dedup: tracking-param key "CMP" was unreachable (lookup lowercases);
fixed to "cmp" so CMP= is actually stripped from canonical URLs
- ForcePost: postItem now returns bool; on dedup-skip ForcePost returns
false so !post falls back to DB lookup instead of silently consuming
- Bound reaction callbacks behind an 8-slot semaphore; drop overflow
- Add stories indexes on (channel, classified, seen_at DESC),
(classified, seen_at DESC), and partial image_url to kill full scans
in IsKnownImageURL and ORDER BY seen_at hot paths
- Surface FTS5 probe Scan error instead of swallowing it
Search: new FTS5-backed SearchStories query, /search JSON endpoint,
client-side overlay (search.js) wired into the layout header. EU
channel gets its own theme color (#003399) across bg/text/border/glow
classes. Sources can now route to non-Matrix channels without
validation error (web-only mode); a warning still flags typos.
