  // The focus reader (ui/redesign-mockups/03-thread-nav.html, piece 3, "C" —
  // three depths: skim (stream) -> explore (peek) -> read (this)). `f`
  // anywhere on a focused message drops it into a distraction-free,
  // prose-typeset single-message view — the stream/graph/chrome stripped,
  // the words getting real reading typography instead of the stream's
  // clamped/compact treatment.
  //
  // Reuses the SAME real data the peek uses (thread.ts's buildTrail over the
  // already-fetched `thread`/`messages`) for j/k "prev · next in thread" —
  // one shared mental model of "what thread is this," not a second one.
  // Code blocks/refs inside the body go through the SAME markdown +
  // highlight.ts pipeline every other message body uses (no reinvented
  // renderer) — "code blocks render in the code view" means the same Shiki
  // tokenizer, not a bespoke one.
  //
  // READ-STATE (ui/REDESIGN.md piece 4, item 2 — 2026-07-19): the gutter
  // now shows a real "seen by" line straight from `message.seenBy`
  // (Herald's src/seen.rs) — the piece-3 deferral above is resolved.
  //
  // This is ALSO where "detail-viewed" gets recorded (Stefan's
  // completionist-safe framing, load-bearing): opening the reader on a
  // message and staying past a short DWELL (~2.5s) — or scrolling the
  // body, a stronger deliberate-engagement signal that fires immediately —
  // marks the message "opened" in the operator's own localStorage
  // (readState.svelte.ts). This is a mark-READ action, never a mark-
  // UNREAD one: absence from that set is neutral everywhere it's read
  // (Message.svelte's row, the minimap's node) — no counter, no badge, no
  // "N unread" pressure. An accidental f-then-Esc within the dwell window
  // records nothing.
