Redesigns the RSS reader as a news board, following the clock, calendar and menu board redesigns. The lead story gets a featured image, headline and excerpt, with the remaining headlines and thumbnails listed beside it. Images come from the feed itself and hide cleanly when a feed has none or a load fails. The photo background and card grid are gone, cutting the shipped assets by about 900 KB.

Adds a mode setting for the screen's placement: headlines (lead story and list, the default) or a text-only list for maximum readability. Brand colours come from setupTheme with an isLightColor guardrail. Screenshots cover both modes at all resolutions.

Replace the card grid over a photo background with a news board on the
brand canvas. The lead story gets a featured image, headline and
excerpt, with the remaining headlines and thumbnails listed beside it.

- add mode setting: headlines (default) or a text-only list
- show featured images when the feed provides them, hidden cleanly
  when it does not or a load fails
- honour brand colours via setupTheme and isLightColor
- drop bg.webp, saving about 900 KB
- capture screenshots for both modes
