Epic: Home dashboard refresh (widgets, APIs, layout cleanup)

[stackingsaunter]

Goal

Refresh the Hub Home screen: clearer layout, backend-driven content where it helps, and removal of redundant cards so the dashboard stays maintainable and consistent with the new design system.

Pull requests

PR	Summary
#2155	shadcn v4 + theme — UI foundation (components upgrade, Alby theme polish, hub logo) that the Home work builds on.
#2169	New Arrivals — new Home widget surfacing recently added app store apps.
#2168	Recently Used Apps — polish on the existing Home widget (layout/copy/visual consistency).
#2170	App of the Day — UI alignment with the rest of the Home grid.
#2171	Support Open Source — refresh of the Home widget content and presentation.
#2172	Stories — /api/alby/stories for HTTP + Wails, Home Stories strip with YouTube dialog, optional modal CTAs by story kind, preview fallback when the API errors.
#2173	Alby Blog — endpoint-driven blog widget (replaces heavier client-side embedding where applicable).
#2174	Top Home widgets (backend-driven) — server-backed data for the top-of-Home widgets (e.g. charts / summaries), simplifying the frontend.
#2175	Remove Alby Go + extension cards — drop dedicated Home cards now covered by Stories (or elsewhere).
#2176	Remove What’s New card — same cleanup pass on Home.

• #1650 — earlier Stories draft (superseded by the approach in feat: integrate Stories widget with backend endpoint #2172; keep for history).

Suggested merge / review order

1. Land chore(frontend): shadcn v4 upgrade, Alby theme polish, hub logo #2155 first if other Home PRs depend on the upgraded components/theme.
2. feat: add backend-driven top home widgets #2174 before or in parallel with widgets that consume the new backend aggregates (confirm in PR descriptions).
3. Widget PRs (feat: polish Recently Used Apps widget on Home #2168–feat: add endpoint-driven Alby Blog widget #2173) can often merge in any order after conflicts are resolved; coordinate with chore: remove Home Alby Go and extension cards #2175 / chore: remove Home What's New card #2176 so removed cards are not still referenced.

Done when

• Home matches the intended widget set and layout, with redundant cards removed.
• Stories and blog (and any chart rows) use stable APIs and CSP-safe embedding where needed.
• Frontend lint/typecheck and relevant Go tests pass on the integration branch or master after merges.
