// ── Town Cryer News gump sync (Protocol 2.1) ───────────────────────────────
//
// Keeps the in-game Town Cryer *News* gump in sync with the site's published
// news posts. Distinct from the scrolling town-crier lines (that's a one-shot
// announce leg in announceWorker); this is a STATE SYNC — an article stays in the
// gump while its post is published news, and is pulled when the post is
// unpublished/deleted/re-categorised.
//
// The website is the source of truth. POST /news is idempotent (re-post replaces),
// so a refresh or a reconnect re-assert is safe. Every call is best-effort and
// never throws — a sidecar/shard hiccup must never break saving or deleting a
// post. Reliability comes from reassertAll() on every WS (re)connect
// (uoLinkSocket.backfill), which re-pushes the current published set silently and
// closes the gap if an earlier live push failed.
