DispatchesSection (white-card, used on /pulse):
- Header row: LATEST FROM THE STUDIO + All dispatches → link
- Featured: 26px avatar byline (name · title · relative time + kind pill),
serif italic title, two-paragraph excerpt (lead in body tone, trail in
--secondary with ellipsis) cut on the nearest sentence boundary, then
the terracotta uppercase 'Read the full dispatch →' link
- Earlier: 1px divider + EARLIER label + up to 3 rows with 22px avatar,
serif italic title (single-line ellipsis), relative time
- Hidden entirely when zero published dispatches; divider + earlier list
omitted when exactly one published dispatch exists
Avatar component (src/components/Avatar.astro) — pure presentational,
takes id + name + size, paints a deterministic-pigment circle with serif
italic initials. Reused by DispatchesSection now and by /members, /events,
and RecentlyFromTheCouncil in the next commits.
format.ts: adds dispatchKindPigment (decision→terracotta, update→indigo,
behind_the_scenes→ochre, note→heather) for pill backgrounds.
Tests: 9 cases covering create-as-draft vs published, publishDispatch
idempotency (re-publish preserves published_at), archive preserves
published_at, the published feed excludes drafts/archived, adjacent
prev/next, and slug round-trip.

Three test files covering the Phase 1 invariants:
- derivePulseStatus: draft/closed are sticky; open auto-closes by date.
- vote UNIQUE(pulse_id, user_id): castVote (OR IGNORE) keeps the first vote
silently, a raw second INSERT raises a constraint error, and uniqueness is
per-pulse (same user on a different pulse is fine).
- homeRouteForRole: cab/fenja → /pulse, pilot → null (render existing home).
tests/setup.ts opens BIFROST_DB_PATH=':memory:' and applies all migrations
before tests run, so the in-memory DB has the live schema. Each vitest fork
gets its own globalThis → its own fresh in-memory DB.
The homeRouteForRole helper extraction makes the / role-redirect testable
without booting Astro. Step 6 will use it from /index.astro.
