Foundation for "Closer to Home" (server-side, Codex-approved). No behavior change
yet — geo_scope defaults None, so the default/edge-cached feed is identical.
- queries.feed now returns each article's geo (breadth, confidence, and ISO-coded
places) via a LEFT JOIN + places subquery. Article.from_row parses geo_places
into [{country, state}]. Brief query doesn't select geo, so the Brief stays bare.
- queries.feed gains home-scope filters (home_country/home_state/geo_scope =
near|country|world): STATE match only counts on high/medium geo confidence;
untagged articles fall to 'world' so nothing is lost during backfill.
Next: API composition (home param + near/country/world sectioning with soft/blended
headers + a next_offset pagination model) and the Home picker UI. 360 tests green.
