FediHome v1.17.0

[TemujinCalidius]

Own your instance from the web, and make it yours. This release pushes hard on two fronts — configuring your site without touching .env, and theming it beyond just colour — plus a few things your native apps have been waiting for.

🎨 Theming

• 🖌️ Set your accent colour from the web admin — per theme, so each theme keeps its own identity (Add a web control to change the accent colour (Site settings) — today it's native-app-only, and the docs already claim it exists #276)
• 🧱 Themes can vary texture, not just colour — new "feel" tokens (corner rounding, glass blur); the Editorial theme goes crisp and flat (Theming system: admin-customizable layout + design (regions × variants presets), a Classic-blog second theme, and a custom-theme scaffold #250)
• 🪄 Pick your theme during first-run setup — a fresh install lands on the look you chose, no config file (Theming system: admin-customizable layout + design (regions × variants presets), a Classic-blog second theme, and a custom-theme scaffold #250)

🌐 Configure from the web (#59)

• 📇 Contact email + podcast feed settings are now web-editable (title/author/description/email/cover)
• 📊 Turn on analytics from the admin panel — set your Tinylytics site id, no .env editing

🖼️ Galleries

• 🏷️ Web-editable photo / video / audio categories — one source of truth; /videos + /audio gained the filter tabs /photography already had; removing a category never hides existing media (Customisable photo / video / audio gallery categories (Site settings) #284)
• 🔌 The resolved lists are exposed to apps on GET /api/micropub?q=config as mediaCategories — clients offer your real categories, not guesses from existing posts

📱 For the apps

• 🔗 One-paste app sign-in — the token reveal now offers a fedihome://connect link bundling instance + token (Admin: generate scoped, reveal-once app tokens #255)
• 📄 contentHtml on GET /api/posts — a native "My Posts" manager can render a post in full and styled (Add contentHtml to GET /api/posts (for the macOS My-Posts full-post view) #292)

🐛 Fixes

• 📈 Tinylytics now actually collects pageviews when only the numeric site id is set — the embed uid is derived automatically; the admin panel shows whether collection is working; build-time resolution hardened and honestly logged (Tinylytics: collecting embed silently 404s (0 pageviews) when only TINYLYTICS_SITE_ID is set — embed needs the site uid, not the numeric id #288)
