Turn "All" into a sectioned news front page

Instead of one long firehose, "All" now renders Apple/Google-News-style:
a Top Stories lead block, then category sections (World, Politics, Business,
AI, Technology, Africa, Sport, Science, Entertainment, Health, Lifestyle) with
the top few stories each and a "See all" jump to the matching pill. Sections are
built from backend tags[]; specific pills keep the flat list. "All" preloads up
to ~100 stories to fill sections.
