Newsmonger v0.2.0-beta.24 (beta)

Beta / pre-release. This build is opt-in. The desktop auto-updater keeps pointing at the prior stable release.

• The feed panel now shows a helpful empty state instead of a blank void. With no topics, it presents a welcome hero explaining what the app does, a button to reopen the setup guide, a "Discover topics" button, and a row of popular topics you can add with one click. With topics but no stories yet, it reassures you and offers a "Check all now" button to run a check immediately.
• The first-run setup guide is now reachable directly from the main feed's empty state, not just through Settings.
