Two new glossary terms in CONTEXT.md, settled in a design session, plus the graphify refresh.

  • Poll Lane — one Site's own stream of Polls, carrying the pace at which that Site is willing to be asked. No Lane can slow, block or borrow from another's; a Reader never has one.
  • Sighting — what a Reader's browser happened to see of a Series's Latest Chapter. Reports the same fact as a Poll, carries none of its authority.
  • Latest Chapter amended: it no longer claims to be discovered without the reader present, since a Sighting establishes it between Polls.

No code. The work these terms describe is specified in #98 (comix), #101 (Poll Lanes), #102 (admin page) and #103 (Sightings).
