Notes

Some resources block embedding with CSP / X-Frame-Options. If the in-app viewer can't load a page, a fallback message appears and the Open in new tab button still works. The app validates the reading list on startup. If data is missing or invalid (for example only 29 papers), a warning toast appears and the HUD shows a small warning while still running the game with the valid entries.
