Added a new "Recent mainline.py changes and port implications" section covering:

• Local headline cache — good for the port (enables fast boot + offline mode), but storage medium depends on board choice
• Firehose mode — only practical on Board 3 due to per-frame redraw cost and visual density at 320px
• Fixed 20 FPS frame timing — maps well to ESP32 millis() patterns, with per-frame budget estimates showing Board 2 would have near-zero headroom without dirty-rect updates
