Make summaries the core reading experience (summary-first, source-forward):
- Cycle pre-warms summaries for Today's 7 (idempotent → only new ones hit the LLM).
- /api/brief items carry their cached summary; Today cards (hero + tiles) show it
inline, so Today reads as a calm briefing.
- Card title/image now open the /a summary page (the canonical artifact), with a
visible "Full story" link straight to the source on every card (the escape hatch).
- /a gains related-grouping chips + a Copy-link/share control.
- Tighten the summary prompt: original, factual, no quotations / no close paraphrase.
Long tail stays lazy+cached. No article bodies stored. 129 tests pass.

- events table (kind, article_id, visitor_hash, day) with a UNIQUE key that dedups
to one row per visitor-day — caps volume and makes counts mean distinct
visitor-days. NO ip/ua/referrer/url. Groupings derived from article_id at query
time, never stored.
- POST /api/events (public): whitelisted kinds (visit/open/share_ub/copy_source/
native_share/source_click); visitor token hashed server-side (never raw).
- Frontend analytics.js: random localStorage visitor token; track() via sendBeacon;
visit once/day; open on article click; share_ub/copy_source/native_share from the
share menu; /a landing pages fire source_click. 127 tests pass.

The /a/<id> page now carries an original short summary so it stands on its own,
without republishing the publisher's article:
- summarize.py: transient SSRF-guarded fetch of the article text → local LLM
writes a 2-4 sentence ORIGINAL summary (our words). Cached in article_summaries
forever; we store only our summary, never the body. Generated lazily (only for
shared/viewed articles), de-duped so concurrent hits don't double-generate.
- /a serves cached-or-pending; when pending it shows a calm "summary on its way,
read at {source}" note and self-polls /api/summary/<id>, swapping the summary
in the moment it's ready (never blocks the page on the batch-tier LLM).
- Share menu warms generation on open so recipients usually get the rich version.
- Container reaches the arbiter at arbiter:8080 over caddy_web (LLM env added to
the API container). 124 tests pass.

- 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.)
