Opening the page used to block on refreshStale() before a single byte went
out, so the browser sat on a blank tab for the whole fetch. index.php now
renders templates/shell.php (head, header, filters, skeleton loader) and
flushes it, then refreshes and appends templates/content.php, which removes
the loader as the feed HTML arrives.
- templates/layout.php is split into shell.php + content.php
- refresh chip moved to a right-aligned row above the feed: the toolbar
paints before the refresh report exists
- header story count shows the cached total, then corrects to the real one
- skeleton styles match the card grid and keep the sources' chroma; a
noscript style hides the loader for clients without JS
- README: file map and page-load lifecycle updated
