feat(magazine): fuse paragraphs across columns/pages, article-aware acronyms, German/English spellcheck

- fuse_paragraph_blocks joins a paragraph split by a column or page break into one
  narration block (reader, podcast source and MP3), keeping source regions for highlighting
- language decided once per article; per-article acronym glossary (LLM classifies unknown
  acronyms from context), letter-spelled acronym lists, extended DE/EN database
- core/spelling: dictionary findings (compounds, inflections, line-break hyphens, other-language
  words), marked in review and listed per page/article; guarded LLM agent fixes; quality run
  now includes the spelling pass
- keep suspended compound hyphens (Programmier- und) when merging regions / building layouts

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+- **Paragraphs are fused across columns and pages for narration.** A paragraph that continues into the next column or onto a later page is now one block in the reader and the exported MP3, so a sentence is no longer cut in two at the seam. Words split at the seam are closed up (`jähr-` + `lich`); real compound hyphens are kept; headings, interview turns and finished paragraphs are never glued together. Highlighting still follows the region each sentence began in.
+- **Pronunciation & spelling panel (per article).** Acronyms are spoken from the article's language (decided once per article, with per-block override for quotations) using an extended built-in list, letter-by-letter spelling for `USB`/`HDMI`-style acronyms, and an editable per-article glossary. Unfamiliar acronyms are listed with their sentence, and the language model can decide expansion / letters / word from context.
+- **German and English spellchecker with fix-or-mark.** Unknown words are underlined in the review list and listed with suggestions per page and per article; click a suggestion (undoable), or *Keep* to add the word to the issue's dictionary. *Fix with language model* corrects only what passes strict guards (a dictionary suggestion, or a known word within two edits) and keeps names/terms; the whole-magazine quality check now runs the same pass and reports pages with words still marked.
+
+### Changed
+- `prepare_text_for_tts` accepts the article language and glossary; narration no longer guesses the language per fragment.

+### One paragraph, one block — even across columns and pages
+
+**Purpose:** a paragraph that continues into the next column or onto a later page is separate regions in the layout. Reading and the MP3 join them before splitting into sentences, so narration never stops mid-sentence at a seam.
+**Prerequisites:** none — this happens automatically for every approved article.
+**How it works:** consecutive body regions are joined when the first one does not end a sentence and the next one continues it (lower-case start, trailing hyphen or comma, or ending on an article/preposition/conjunction). A word split at the seam is closed up (`jähr-` + `lich` → `jährlich`); a real compound hyphen is kept (`KI-` + `Modelle`). Headings, interview turns and finished paragraphs are never glued together, and a caption or figure description between two fragments is moved after the paragraph.
+**Result:** the reading view and the exported MP3 speak the fused paragraph as one block; highlighting and "Original page" still follow the region each sentence started in.
+**Errors:** if two paragraphs are wrongly joined or a split is missed, correct the region text or reading order in review; the text is recomputed each time.
+**Mobile / accessibility / offline / privacy:** no extra controls; nothing leaves the machine.
+
+### Pronunciation & spelling (per article)
+
+Open an article and expand **Pronunciation & spelling** under the player.
+
+**Acronyms — purpose:** say `NAS`, `ML` or `SSD` the way a listener expects, in the article's language. The language is decided once for the whole article (a short fragment alone is a poor signal); an English quotation inside a German article is spoken with English expansions.
+**Steps:** unfamiliar acronyms are listed with the sentence they appear in. Type how the narrator should say one (empty = as printed) — the change applies immediately and stays with the article — or press **Let the language model decide**: it picks *expansion*, *letter by letter* or *as a word* from the sentence's context and, for English acronyms in a German article, prefers the established German term. Only expansions carry model-written words; letters/word choices are decided by the server.
+**Known acronyms:** a built-in list covers common German and English ones (`KI`, `AI`, `LLM`, `API`, `GPU`, `USB` → "U S B", `HDMI`, `z. B.` …). The displayed text is never changed.
+
+**Spelling — purpose:** find OCR and typing errors in German and English text without ever rewriting names or technical terms by guess.
+**What is flagged:** a word unknown in the text's language, not a known compound (`Softwareentwicklung`), not known in the *other* language (an English term inside a German article is fine), not an acronym, not a name in mid-sentence English, and not a word you kept. A word that recurs three or more times is treated as vocabulary.
+**Marked on the page:** in review, flagged words are underlined in the region list and the **Spelling** button lists them for the page with suggestions. In the reading view the same list is under **Pronunciation & spelling**. Click a suggestion to correct the word in the region text (review offers **Undo**), or **Keep** to add it to this issue's dictionary.
+**Fixed by an agent:** **Fix with language model** (page or article) asks the configured LLM about each flagged word with its sentence. A correction is applied only if it is one of the dictionary's suggestions or a single known word within two edits of the printed one; names and terms the model keeps go into the issue's dictionary, everything else stays marked. The whole-magazine **Quality check / run** does the same for every page (when an LLM is configured) and lists pages that still have marked words.
+**Errors:** "No LLM model configured" — set one in Settings; the marked list still works without it. A stale suggestion ("the text has changed") — reload the list.
+**Mobile / accessibility:** the lists are ordinary buttons with labels ("Replace X with Y"); marks are underlined, not colour-only.
+**Privacy:** the agent sends only the flagged word and its surrounding sentence to the LLM you configured in Settings; without an LLM nothing leaves the machine.
+
 ### Quality check / run (whole magazine)
 
 **Purpose:** find every page where text is not inside a box, boxes overlap or cut off letters, or OCR still looks wrong.

+marked on the page for a human. Order of work:
+

+   pronunciation database, unknown ones are classified by the LLM from their sentence
+   (expansion / spelled letters / read as a word) and stay editable.

+### Narration text: fusion, language, acronyms, spelling
+
+`article_text(..., fuse=True, glossary=...)` is the single source of narratable text for the reader, the podcast
+source and the MP3 export.
+
+- **Fusion** (`fuse_paragraph_blocks`). A body paragraph that flows into another column or page is separate
+  regions; joining them before sentence splitting stops narration at the seam. `paragraph_continues` joins when the
+  previous fragment has no sentence-ending punctuation and the next starts lower-case, the previous ends in a hyphen or
+  comma, or it ends on an article/preposition/conjunction (German nouns are capitalised, so lower-case alone is not
+  enough). Titles, headings, bylines, interview turns (`Label: ...`) and finished paragraphs never fuse. Captions and
+  figure descriptions between fragments are emitted after the paragraph. A fused block keeps the first region's
+  id/page/bbox plus `parts` (id, page, bbox, start, end offsets) so the player highlights and jumps to the region each
+  sentence began in. A hyphen at the seam is dropped for a printed line break and kept for a real compound (`KI-` +
+  `Modelle`), and the rebuilt word goes through the umlaut repair again.
+- **Language** is decided once per article (`detect_article_language`), then overridden per block only when that block
+  is decisively the other language (`language_for_block`: at least 12 words and three hits for one language, none for
+  the other).
+- **Acronyms.** `core/pronunciations.json` holds per-language expansions and letter-spelled lists; an article's
+  `glossary` (in `articles.json`) is applied on top and wins. Unknown all-caps tokens (`find_unknown_acronyms`) are
+  shown with their sentence; the LLM classifies them as expansion / letters / word (`parse_acronym_decisions`): only
+  `expansion` carries model text, `letters` and `word` are produced server-side, and answers for acronyms that were not
+  asked about are dropped. The displayed text is never altered — only `spoken_text`.
+- **Spelling** (`core/spelling.py`). Findings, not rewrites: a word unknown in its language and in the other one, not a
+  compound of known parts (`is_known_compound`), not an acronym or camelCase brand, not in the issue's
+  `dictionary.json`, and not recurring three times. `accept_agent_fix` is the only path by which a model's answer edits
+  text: the replacement must be a dictionary suggestion or a single known word within two edits, and offsets are
+  re-verified against the current text (`apply_fix`). The whole-issue quality run applies the same agent per page and
+  reports remaining words per page (`spelling`, `spelling_fixed`).
