Report sections (4 views)

--mode ecosystem returns views in JSON, split into four report sections:

1. views.top
   • Main leaderboard ranked by hot_score.
2. views.new_24h
   • Repos not seen in yesterday snapshot (fresh in 24h).
3. views.new_7d
   • Repos not seen in recent lookback snapshots (fresh in 7d).
4. views.rising_24h
   • Repos with positive stars_delta_24h, sorted by growth.

repos is retained for compatibility and mirrors views.top.
