v0.5.14 - I'm only happy when it rains
Oh, there is so much going on in this release, and so much we can't tell... for another few days.

Body
The image editor prompts authors to add alt text.
Writer pages: /writers/[slug] now lists a writer's reviews alongside their articles, with updated empty-state and metadata wording.
Header navigation: "My news feed" now links to /u/home/list, the /u/feed route is retired
Category band: the category ribbon on news, event and review pages gets its own gutter and margin, and renders nothing when there are no categories.
Home feed default: signed-in users with no stored preference now land on the list view (/u/home/list)
Careers: new public /careers pages
Comments editor: draft text in the Coral comment and reply editor now uses the body colour, so it is readable in the grimdark theme.
Favicon: replaced with solid square brand-colour tiles that read on both light and dark backgrounds.
Story card cleanup: unused desktopOnlyImage option removed. No visible change.
Upload scanning: client checks, a notice and scan states for uploads, with no polling.
API keys page: links the agent skill file served by the developer docs link.
Column articles: the Talk comments now sit directly under the story, with the series footer after them.
About us: cosmetic update
Column rails: comment-only change documenting the 6-card cap
Scan before attach: client side of attaching only scanned uploads.
Publish lifecycle: five explicit statuses (Draft, Scheduled, Published, Unpublished, Deleted) with validation tiers, plus Unschedule and Restore.
Content forms: new Close button to leave a piece after changes, with Discard Changes when dirty; returns to where the author came from, or the dashboard.
Welcome card: the "Create and share" link now reaches the post editor instead of redirecting to /u/home.
Tag chips: a grab cursor on draggable tag and genre chips in the content forms.
Author dashboard: rows link to the latest path of a re-slugged piece, not the old untitled- placeholder.
Content forms: clicking Close within about 300 ms of typing in the body no longer loses the edit.
Form bar: secondary actions (Unpublish, Unschedule, Save as Draft, Delete) show inline from tablet width up, and stay in the menu on mobile.
Header and dashboard: "My profile" opens the public profile, the dashboard drops the content-lifecycle help panel, and some copy is tidied.
Post authoring URL: posts are now authored at /u/content/post instead of /u/content/socialPost; articles, reviews and events keep their URLs.
Dashboard links: the title and View links no longer prefetch the public URL, avoiding a cached 404 for scheduled posts.
Lead editor: edits made within the 300 ms debounce now survive Publish, Save, Close and switching tabs, on all content forms and the Writer form.
Crawler paths: null paths from crawlers now 404 in the proxy, and tag feeds and the home list no longer emit /u/null for authors without a slug (links by UUID instead).
