Blocker fixes for the image cache:
- /api/img/{id} now serves cache HITS ONLY and is restricted to ACCEPTED, CANONICAL
articles. It never fetches — the cycle (newsimg.warm) owns all fetching — so the
public endpoint has no SSRF/worker-exhaustion surface. Dropped 1-year immutable
caching (image_url can change) → public, max-age=86400.
- newsimg._safe_fetch: SSRF-safe (reuses enrich._host_is_public + _NoRedirect, http(s)
only, every redirect hop re-validated, body capped). _FetchError distinguishes
permanent refusals (negative-cached via a .fail marker) from transient errors (retry).
- _encode re-encodes only decoded RASTER images to WebP and REJECTS everything else
(SVG, undecodable, decompression bombs via MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS, pathological dimensions);
originals are never retained. prune() also sweeps stale .fail markers.
- Concurrency: fetching only runs inside the cycle lock; writes stay atomic.
Smaller fixes:
- share.py visible image has onerror→this.remove() (degrade to the text unfurl, no
broken icon when an image isn't cached yet).
- share-page Back follows history only on a SAME-ORIGIN referrer (never bounce to an
external site); menu now honors Escape + resets crossing back to desktop (HubBar parity).
Tests: private host, redirect-to-private, hostile SVG/non-image, transient-vs-permanent
failure, LRU prune, warm (accepted+canonical only, idempotent), cache-only endpoint
(404 on not-cached/unaccepted/duplicate, never fetches), share chrome parity. 441 pass.

Sharpen the existing daily-game share loop into something measurable (per Codex's
"instrument what you have, then feed people into it" plan), ahead of a Show HN launch.
Analytics:
- Per-game funnel events <game>_{arrival,started,completed,shared} (article_id=0).
arrival = landed via a shared link (utm_source=game_share); started = first move
(guess/find/flip); completed = solved/cleared/Full Bloom; shared = on share success.
- trackVisit() moved into the global layout so direct /play landings count; the
server-rendered /a/ share page now creates a visitor token + sends a daily visit
beacon (first-time /a/-only visitors were previously dropped).
- Admin "Games funnel" panel: arrivals / engaged / completed / shared, per game.
Sharing:
- Memory Match gains a Share button (it was the only game without one).
- All shares deep-link to the exact game+variant with a full https:// URL +
utm_source=game_share (gameShareUrl helper), instead of a bare /play.
- "shared" is counted only after navigator.share()/clipboard.writeText() succeeds.
/play social metadata:
- /play served homepage canonical/OG (static SPA, ssr=false). postbuild script
patches build/play.html's head to /play canonical/title/description/OG; fails the
build if the homepage tags drift. Caddy try_files now serves {path}.html so /play
is served from the patched file (snapshot in deploy/caddy/).
Tests: backend 352, frontend 27.

The deploy pipeline runs from the working tree, so a wave of shipped features
had never been committed. This snapshots git to what's actually running.
SEO impression recovery (live + verified):
- Duplicate /a/{id} now 301-redirect to their canonical twin instead of 404
(a hard 404 silently dropped already-indexed URLs and tanked impressions).
- Dedup representative selection reworked: accepted/serveable -> established
rep (URL stability) -> quality score, so an accepted page never retires to a
rejected rep and an indexed canonical doesn't churn when a newer twin arrives.
- HEAD /a/{id} returns the same status as GET (api_route GET+HEAD) instead of
falling through to the static mount and 404ing.
- `dedup --force-recluster`: cycle-locked, model-free re-cluster to re-apply the
policy to the existing corpus (shared cycle_lock context manager).
- CLI honors GOODNEWS_DB for its default --db (was silently ignored).
Publishing Desk (admin tool to post highlights to X via Web Intents):
- publishing.py queue/rank/handle-resolution; admin UI; full searchable emoji
picker (bundled data, no CDN) for the blurb editor.
Play games + site:
- Bloom (word-wheel), Memory Match, daily ritual set, Zen Den (dev-gated).
- English-only language gate; source prospecting; paywall + dedup hardening.
Tests: full suite green (349). Ignores tightened (node_modules, data/*.db).

- Server-rendered /a/<id> "pointer" page (FastAPI): OG/Twitter meta from the
article's title/why/image, self-canonical (UB pages are the canonical for
themselves), a prominent "Read the full story at {source}" button and a quiet
"Explore more on Upbeat Bytes". No article body. Unknown/rejected/duplicate/
malformed ids → a calm 404 (no stack traces). Text-card preview when no image.
- Caddy routes /a/* to the API.
- Card Share control → menu: native Share… (where available), Copy link (the UB
card page), Copy source link. Boundary actions now hide-on-hover via a .mute
class so Save/Replace/Share stay visible. 122 tests pass.
(Event tracking for shares/opens lands with the analytics step next.)
