NEWS RELAUNCH CUTOVER: promote the hub to /, feed to /news, go public
The big flip. /home3 (hub) becomes /; the feed lives at /news; both indexable.
- PROMOTE: routes/+page.svelte is now the hub (was the interim NewsFeed wrapper);
noindex removed; "Read more good news" → /news. routes/home3 + home2 deleted.
- routes/+page.js: redirects legacy root-query links (/?view=latest, /?tag, /?source,
/?q, /?view=today→highlights) to /news before the hub renders (no flash).
- /news: noindex dropped (route meta + Caddy @newsHidden removed); now public.
- LINKS: HubBar brand/Home → /, News default → /news; HubShell/art/play back → /;
account Following + share.py Explore/Browse/source → /news.
- FOOTER: one shared Footer.svelte (motto + Send feedback + slot) across Hub/News/
Play/Art/HubShell/Account/Zen; global layout footer removed (FeedbackModal stays).
- SITEMAP: + /news /art /play /word /quote /onthisday; cap 5k→50k; gated on
has-summary; paywalled excluded; HEAD now 200 (api_route GET+HEAD).
- Head-patcher: /news entry. PWA + shell description broadened to the hub.
- Caddy: @newsHidden dropped; @hidden now admin-only (word/quote/onthisday public);
/home2,/home3 → / 301. Mirrored to deploy/caddy snapshot.
425 backend + 36 frontend tests green; build clean; Caddy valid.
