Narrative Arc Bar (inside hero card)
Replaces the old lavender "Story Thread" bar. Now carries the mega-cluster identity
with a bold color gradient wash + left stripe. Shows "Narrative Arc" label, the
LLM-generated title, and a prominent story count. Tapping navigates to the
mega-cluster detail view. The color (here: warm red) is unique to this narrative —
users learn to recognize "red = Iran War" across the feed.
Enriched Footer
The old Story Thread bar's source count info ("24 sources") moves to the coverage
footer at the card bottom, keeping it visible without duplicating content. Source
avatars + thread count + "View full coverage" all live together now.
"Part of" Badge (on related cards)
Standard article cards that belong to the same mega-cluster get a tinted pill badge
below their cluster footer. Uses the same color as the parent narrative (red here),
creating visual continuity. Taps navigate to the mega-cluster detail view.

Color Identity System
Each mega-cluster gets a unique color palette. "The Iran War" is warm red (#C0554F),
"Artemis II" is cosmic blue (#4A7EC0). This creates instant visual recognition —
users learn the color = the narrative. The same color propagates to "Part of" badges,
the "+ N more" footer, and the future mega-cluster detail view.

Cross-Section Badge
When a cluster card lands in a section away from its mega-cluster siblings (e.g., an
energy article in "Business" while the Iran narrative lives in "World"), the "Part of"
pill badge uses the narrative's color (red dot + red text). The second card below has
no mega-cluster — showing the contrast between tagged and untagged cards.
