John O'Keefe 7a7b2ab82a docs(highlights,notes,opds,progress,analytics): Beam batch 9 — 13 endpoints
Highlights + notes CRUD (media-item scoped, jwt), progress delete,
reading-stats analytics, and the OPDS trio frontmatter'd. OPDS docs are
the first XML entries: example-response intentionally omitted (Atom
responses), gate contract honored via nil-Response registry pins.

Gate fix: group .Use() middleware now parsed (opds.Use(DeviceAuth...
Authenticate) previously resolved to auth 'none'). Registry: 13 entries.
Drift fixed by gate: reading-stats key names (total_reading_time_minutes,
most_active_day_of_week, daily_reading_minutes — draft invented
reading_time_hours/books_completed); notes/highlights list endpoints
return BARE arrays (no {notes:[]}/{highlights:[]} wrapper); create-note
request has no percentage_location/epubcfi_location. New
/tmp/merge_arrays.py handles array-example merges.

make test 9/9.
