Elie Habib 89c179e412 fix(brief): cover greeting was hardcoded "Good evening" regardless of issue time (#3254)
* fix(brief): cover greeting was hardcoded "Good evening" regardless of issue time

Reported: a brief viewed at 13:02 local time showed "Good evening" on the
cover (slide 1) but "Good afternoon." on the digest greeting page (slide 2).

Cause: `server/_shared/brief-render.js:renderCover` had the string
`'Good evening'` hardcoded in the cover's mono-cased salutation slot.
The digest greeting page (slide 2) renders the time-of-day-correct
value from `envelope.data.digest.greeting`, which is computed by
`shared/brief-filter.js:174-179` from `localHour` in the user's TZ
(< 12 → morning, < 18 → afternoon, else → evening). So any brief
viewed outside the literal evening showed an inconsistent pair.

Fix: thread `digest.greeting` into `renderCover`; a small
`coverGreeting()` helper strips the trailing period so the cover's
no-punctuation mono style is preserved. On unexpected/missing values
it falls back to a generic "Hello" rather than silently re-hardcoding
a specific time of day.

Tests: 5 regression cases in `tests/brief-magazine-render.test.mjs`
cover afternoon/morning/evening parity, period stripping, and HTML
escape (defense-in-depth). 60 total in that file pass. Full
test:data 5921 pass. typecheck + typecheck:api + biome clean.

* chore(brief): fix orphaned JSDoc on coverGreeting / renderCover

Greptile flagged: the original `renderCover` JSDoc block stayed above
`coverGreeting` when the helper was inserted, so the @param shape was
misattributed to the wrong function and `renderCover` was left
undocumented (plus the new `greeting` field was unlisted).

Moved the opts-shape JSDoc to immediately above `renderCover` and
added `greeting: string` to the param type. `coverGreeting` keeps its
own prose comment.

No runtime change.
