📚 Description

On a wide screen, the trending board left a large gap between a short Skill name and its words. The name column took a share of the row, so it grew with the screen. Bot accounts such as @grok and github-trending.bsky.social led the quote line on two rows of this month's board, and their emoji and Unicode bold were the loudest text in those rows.

• The row's name column stops at 17rem and truncates the name. The words take the rest.
• The new SparkDots draws the spark and the trending mark as SVG columns of dots. In headless Chrome on Linux, the spark beside each name went from 70px to 20px, and the header mark from 42px to 11px. Plain text, such as the weekly email, keeps the braille bars.
• The quote line sits one size under the description, with a muted handle. Only the Skill name in it lifts to toned ink. Post text and poster names drop emoji, and NFKC folds Unicode letter styles back to plain letters.
• loadSocialEvidence quotes a person before an automated account, and lists people first among the other posts. shared/automated-authors.ts holds the accounts found in production posts. Ranking still counts every author.
• The homepage shows the top five board rows, up from three.

Agent comment. Checked in a local dev server reading production data through a scratch proxy, since CI cannot show layout:

• At 1440px the name column is 272px and the words start right after it. At 1920px the extra width goes to the words.
• At 390px the rows stack and the page has no sideways scroll.
• Emoji and Unicode bold are gone from the quote lines. The homepage shows five rows.
• The proxy serves production's feed, so these shots still show github-trending.bsky.social and @grok leading two rows. The people-first order runs in the server loader and is covered by the new unit tests.

Before, 1440px	After, 1440px

Homepage, five rows	Phone, 390px
