Web UI: Updated tab, inline errors, mobile card fixes (#3)

Third pass on the password-gated web UI, on top of #1 and #2.

## Updated tab
New `?tab=new` tab listing only series with an unread published chapter, plus per-tab empty states for Favourites and Updated. Covered by `TestUIListNewTab`.

## Inline error feedback
htmx does not swap on a non-2xx response, so a failed favourite/chapter/delete looked like an ignored tap. Errors now render in a `.error-inline` slot on the card and clear after 5s. The chapter-edit form and delete-confirm row also close each other — only one per-card panel open at a time.

## Mobile fixes (P0)
`.chapter-form` held three children on one unwrapped flex row, pushing Save off screen: **97px of page overflow at 390px, 127px at 360px**. That broke correcting a chapter number on the primary device class.

- `.chapter-form` and `.confirm-row` wrap; hint and prompt take their own full-width row
- `.chapter-form input` uses `flex: 1 1 0; min-width: 0` — with `flex: 1` (basis auto) a number input holds its ~20ch intrinsic width and refused to shrink, which pushed Save to a third row
- `white-space: nowrap` on the confirm prompt alone reintroduced 26px of overflow; the full-width row is what actually fixes it

Verified live: `document.body.scrollWidth <= window.innerWidth` with every chapter-form and confirm-row open, at 360/390/768/1280, light and dark.

## Icons
`☆ ✎ 🗑 ▶` replaced with hand-authored inline SVG on `currentColor` — the emoji font rendered each in a different face, weight, and colour, ignoring the card's own type and colour system. `.icon.on` / `.icon.danger` / `.primary` keep driving colour. No icon font or library added.

## No-cover empty state
Series whose source site gave no `og:image` render a title-initial monogram (`Bookmark.Initial()`) instead of a blank `--surface-2` rectangle that read as a cover still loading. Shared between the card cover and the Continue-reading strip.

## Verification
- `go build ./... && go test ./...` — pass
- Live interaction run: favourite toggle round-trips, chapter save 210.5→211, All/Updated/Favourites swap, delete-confirm removes the card, no console errors

## Design Specificity Verdict
Generic-competent. Nothing signals manga/night-reading/two-site-unification beyond the header text. site-{{.Site}} badge (the actual product differentiator) styled as a neutral pill, same weight as everything else.
Deterministic scan: CLI static-HTML detector 0 findings (exit 0). Browser/live detector found: tight-leading (line-height 1.25, real), overused-font/single-font (100% Roboto), flat-type-hierarchy advisory (~1.5:1 ratio). One text-occlusion hit was a false positive (detector's own leftover overlay text).
## Priority Issues
P1 — Silent failure on every htmx mutation (no hx-indicator, no error UI). Fix: hx-indicator + htmx:responseError inline error text.
P1 — NEW-chapter signal has no visual priority/filter despite poller existing for exactly this. Fix: elevate .new styling, add "Updated" quick-filter.
P2 — Native confirm() on delete breaks dark theme, violates "no pure-white flash" a11y requirement. Fix: inline htmx confirm row.
P2 — Chapter input has no upper bound/reference to LatestChapter. Fix: show "Latest: Ch N" inline, soft max warning.
P3 — Single font, flat type scale, line-height under 1.3 floor. Fix: real typographic hierarchy.
## Persona Red Flags
Casey (mobile, primary): 4 stacked chrome regions before content; touch-only tooltips never fire; silent failures invite repeat-tapping.
Riley (stress): webkit-only line-clamp with no fallback; no-cover cards render blank with no placeholder; filter.js untested at scale.
## Minor Observations
Continue-strip not tab-scoped. Fixed accent colors unverified for contrast against light theme. title= tooltips dead weight on touch.
## Questions to Consider
1. Why does the NEW-chapter signal carry less visual weight than the static site badge?
2. Why is confirm() (guaranteed to break theme) still unreplaced given the explicit no-white-flash requirement?
3. Does the ordering rule need an explanation, or does needing one mean the mental model fights the user?

## Design Specificity Verdict
Real measured progress: site-tinted badges and --new ribbon hue verified via computed contrast (5.3-9.0:1), genuine product-specific signal. Working against it: bare OS-emoji icons (star/pencil/trash/play) clash with tuned typography; no-cover placeholder still a flat contentless box.
Deterministic scan: CLI 0 findings (clean). Live detector: overused-font/single-font expected (deliberate single-typeface Operate surface). flat-type-hierarchy already accepted. monotonous-spacing and text-occlusion confirmed FALSE POSITIVES (detector's own accumulated debug overlays). edge-flush-cards on Continue-reading strip likely false positive (deliberate scrollable carousel with edge-bleed). ai-color-palette flagging new site-tint hues - plausible false positive (contrast-verified, restrained) but unconfirmed.
## Priority Issues
P0 - Chapter-edit form causes 97-127px horizontal page overflow on mobile, Save button pushed off-screen. .chapter-form has display:flex with no wrap, now holds 3 children (hint/input/button) in one unwrapped row. Confirmed live at 390px and 360px. Regression from the harden command - hint text was verified to render but never checked for container overflow at mobile width. Fix: flex-wrap:wrap + .hint{flex:1 0 100%}, same pattern already used in .actions/.confirm-row.
P3 - Icon-glyph inconsistency: bare emoji vs tuned type/color system.
P3 - No-cover placeholder reads as stuck loading skeleton, not designed empty state.
P3 - .confirm-row text wraps awkwardly ("Remove/this?") - cosmetic only, no overflow.
## Persona Red Flags
Casey (mobile, primary): chapter-form overflow directly hits her core task (one-handed chapter correction), unexpected sideways scroll needed.
Sam (accessibility): well-served overall, but no custom :focus-visible on icon/action buttons.
## Minor Observations
Continue-reading strip still not tab-scoped. updated_at ordering verified live via actual favourite-toggle round-trip. ai-color-palette on site tints worth a second glance, unconfirmed either way.
## Questions to Consider
1. Did the harden command's verification ever check mobile viewport width with the hint text present, or only that it rendered?
2. Is the emoji-icon look deliberate "undesigned" for a single-user tool, or just expedient?
3. Is a missing og:image common enough in practice to deserve real empty-state design?
