ads: server-side impression beacon in middleware (AdSanity parity)
...
Fires one impression per page render, per slot, server-side — mirrors
AdSanity's WP-level counting model. Picks one banner from each slot's
rotation pool per request. Edge-worker-cached pool refresh, 5min TTL.
Closes the structural gap with historical AdSanity numbers
(client-side counting was dropping 25-40% to ad blockers, plus the
beacon failed silently on fast navigations).

ads: float SidebarAdStack at top of <main> on 7 more pages
...
gear, technology, search, reading-list, show-coverage, authors/[slug],
forum/thread/[id] all now render the 300x600 + 300x250 stack as a
floating right column at the top of the content area. Existing
single-column page structure preserved (content wraps).
Maximizes impression count: every pageview across these pages now
counts 300x600 + every 300x250 in the stack, on top of the existing
728x90 in Header.

fix: forum user lookup handles duplicate display names
...
When multiple profiles share a display_name (Michael Carter, Alex
Rivera, etc.), .maybeSingle() blew up with PGRST116, returning 404.
Switched to ordered limit(1) so the earliest-created profile wins
and the route resolves deterministically.

style: dial down header rails — 1px with subtle glow

feat: add top horizontal rail connecting header verticals
...
Adds a neon-green horizontal line across the very top of the site,
spanning from the left vertical rail to the right vertical rail, so
the header reads as a closed bracket instead of two floating lines.

fix: lift header rails above sticky sub-bars (z-60, 2px)
...
The sticky main nav at z-50 was painting its background over the
z-5 rails, so the line only showed on the top bar. Bumped rails to
z-60 (above the sticky stacking context) and widened to 2px with
stronger glow so the bracket reads continuously.
