thejayman77 0ae789752e fix: QOTD/WOTD freshness — pick within the freshest cohort, not the rotated pool
Both selectors ordered candidates least-recently-shown, then daily.seeded_order()
ROTATED the whole list and took [0] — an arbitrary date-hashed item, undoing the
ordering. Result: repeats (quote id 2 on 6/28+6/29; word "harmony" on 6/25+6/28),
no guarantee a pool item is shown before it recurs.

Fix: daily.freshest(rows) returns the freshest cohort only — every NEVER-shown
item while any remain, else the oldest-shown group. quote/wotd _candidates use it;
seeded_order now picks deterministically WITHIN that cohort. So every pool item is
featured once before any repeat, then cycles oldest-first. Dropped the unused
_NO_REPEAT_POOL window. Tests: no-repeat-until-exhausted (quote + wotd) + a
freshest() unit test. 428 backend tests green.

(Separate follow-up: expand the QOTD pool from 16 → 90+ vetted public-domain
quotes for a longer no-repeat window.)

thejayman77 67d4bc32cb Small joys: Quote of the Day + Word of the Day engines
- quote.py: curated public-domain quote pool (16 seeded, admin-grows), deterministic daily
  pick, lazy AI "what it means" explainer of the real quote (cached). No LLM-invented quotes.
- wotd.py: LLM proposes positive words → validated/enriched against dictionaryapi.dev (real
  definition, IPA, examples, audio) → audio clip cached to our origin (TTS fallback) →
  deterministic daily pick. Tops the pool up toward 30/day.
- db.py: quote_pool/daily_quote + wotd_pool/daily_wotd tables.
- api.py: /api/quote/today, /api/word/today, /api/word/audio/{word} (GET+HEAD).
- cli.py: cycle steps for both (under --no-joys), shared LLM client.
- tests: test_quote.py (6) + test_wotd.py (5). 393 backend tests green.
