CedricandClaude Opus 5.5 3b54b3515b Bring the README in line with the source kinds (review items 1, 2)
The catalog has 42 Sources (13 German, 29 English; 23 News, 16 Learning,
3 Fun). Today shows News sources only, Learn has a Learning (14 days) and
a Fun (3 days) section, neither feeds the Briefing, and the time window
setting is for News. The project layout lists the UI files including
learn_screen.dart.

"Feed" no longer stands for a Source and "newsletter" no longer for a
Learning source; paid_newsletter_posts_test.dart becomes
paid_substack_posts_test.dart.

articleCountLine, RefreshButton and RefreshableList live in common.dart.
LearnScreen._describe becomes _windowLabel there, and LearnScreen._section
is _kindSection like in SourcesScreen.

CedricandClaude Opus 5.5 246564f1d9 Keep per-kind facts on SourceKind and the Briefing's input in one place (review items 4, 5, 6, 7)
- SourceKind carries whether it feeds the Briefing, its fixed time window
  (Learning, Fun) and whether reading is picture-led (Fun); windowOf and
  the reader read from it.
- AppState.briefingArticles is the one place that says only News sources
  feed the Briefing; generateBriefing and the Briefing tab use it.
- articlesOf, hiddenCountOf and briefingArticles share one filter.
- FeedService.fetchAll takes windowOf: like AppState.windowOf.

Keeps the Learning catalog from #6 and puts the Fun group after it, in the
catalog and the README. Adds the end-to-end check #4 left for Fun: a custom
Fun feed added on the Sources tab shows up in the Learn tab's Fun section,
not in Today.

CedricandClaude Opus 5.5 84cb11e4dd Hide paid Substack newsletter posts with the paid filter (#7)
Substack cuts paid-subscriber posts short in the feed and ends their
content with a "Read more" link to the post itself. PaywallService.isPaid
now recognizes that ending, so "hide paid articles" hides these posts in
Today and the Learn tab and counts them as hidden, without a page request.
Free posts that ask readers to subscribe or end with the subscribe widget
are not affected.

Tests use trimmed real items from the Interconnects and Ahead of AI feeds.

CedricandClaude Opus 5.5 8240a767ef Add the Fun section to the Learn tab with comic-friendly reader view (#3)
The Learn tab gets a Fun section below Learning with the last 3 days of
Fun articles. Fun articles stay out of Today and the Briefing. New curated
Fun sources: xkcd and The Daily WTF (on by default) and r/ProgrammerHumor
top of the day (off).

Reader view for Fun articles shows the picture whole in the body instead
of as a 16:9 banner cropped to fit, and doesn't call a comic without text
a teaser. When the page gives no picture (Reddit blocks reader view), the
feed's image is shown. The extractor now keeps an image's title text as a
caption (xkcd's last joke), images in blockquotes and behind in-page
anchors (The Daily WTF's Error'd screenshots), drops image maps and
license boxes, and on a text tie prefers the page with more blocks.

The Sources tab shows News, Learning and Fun sections, each split by
language; kinds or languages without Sources get no header. The add-feed
dialog has a kind picker that defaults to News.

- **Today**: all articles from the enabled sources in the last 12/24/48 h, newest
first. Filter by language or source, pull to refresh.
- **Learn**: articles from the enabled Learning sources (engineering blogs,
system design explainers, AI research write-ups) from the last 14 days, newest

Learning sources (engineering blogs, system design explainers, AI research
write-ups) from the last 14 days; **Fun** has comics, memes and IT horror
stories from the enabled Fun sources from the last 3 days. Neither is part of
the Briefing.
- **Reading in the app**: tapping an article opens a clean **reader view** (text,
headings, lists, quotes, images) without ads or cookie banners. The globe icon
switches to the **original page** in an in-app WebView, for paywalls or sites
that block reader view. **Summarize with AI** uses the same downloaded text, so
the summary is based on the full article, not just the RSS teaser. Links in the
briefing open the same way.
- **Briefing**: AI picks the 6–10 most important stories of the day, merges
coverage from different outlets, and links every topic to its sources. Every
briefing is saved on the device (`briefings.json` in the app's private
storage); the history button lists them by month, tap to read, swipe to delete
