thejayman77 722bcf6317 Customizable nav lanes: pin moods / topics / discovery tags
Readers can now choose which quick-access lanes sit above the feed; "Today"
stays pinned. The pool (goodnews/lanes.py, served at /api/lanes) is one source
of truth over three lane kinds the feed already renders: moods, primary topics,
and high-volume Discovery tags. Selection lives in the existing prefs blob
(localStorage + /api/prefs sync); the filter parser ignores the new `lanes`
field, so it rides along harmlessly. Default = today's moods, unchanged.

Food/Space stay grouping tags rather than primary topics (per review): `space`
already existed; added `food` to the Mind & Craft family so the classifier
assigns it, and seeded the Food lane by re-tagging the two food sources.

"""Nav lanes — the customizable quick-access rail above the feed.
"Today" is always pinned (the daily brief). Past that, a reader pins whichever
lanes they like from a pool of three kinds, all of which the feed already knows
how to render as a view:
* moods — curated filter presets (see moods.py); key is the bare mood key.
* topics — the eight primary categories; key is the bare topic key.
* tags — high-volume grouping tags (Discovery); key is "tag:<slug>".
Single source of truth so the website and any future companion app agree on the
pool and the default selection. The pool's tag membership is volume-gated so we
never offer a lane that would land the reader on an empty feed.
