Overview
Comment:Name the per-machine config .env.local, and ship an example

dev.local.mk said nothing about what it held, so the only way to learn what `make dev` needed was to read someone's copy — and there was no copy to read, because it is not committed.

.env.local now holds one named key per setting instead of a single 1,697-character DEV_ARGS line, and the Makefile composes the flags. A key left empty is omitted from the command line rather than passed as an empty string, which the server would read as a deliberate value. Corpus repositories are named once each and their paths derived, rather than --repo name=path repeated twenty-three times.

.env.example is committed and documents every key, including which two are secrets and which of --data and --oltp survives a rebuild.

dev.local.mk is still included, so an existing checkout keeps working, and both names are ignored. Verified equivalent: the old file and the new one produce the same 8 flags and the same 23 repositories.

`make dev-args` prints the composed flags without starting anything.

Forum list: mute what you have read, not what is old

Dimming keyed on a 30-day window meant a quiet forum rendered almost entirely grey. Read-state replaces it: forum_read stores when an account last viewed a thread, and a thread is read only while its newest post is no newer than that view — so a reply re-brightens it with no flag to clear. Anonymous readers have no read-state and see every row at full ink.

Marking read is its own op, not a side effect of forum.get, so crawlers and API clients cannot spend a reader's unread state. Titles now take the accent colour on hover (gated on hover: hover) and on :active, so touch keeps the affordance. check-in: c8a93fda64 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Accepted. The default belongs to the timeline, not to the handler that knew it first. check-in: 025d48b290 user: dmestas tags: trunk
