TheFlow 2298d36bed fix(submissions): restructure Economist package and fix article display 
- Create Economist SubmissionTracking package correctly:
  * mainArticle = full blog post content
  * coverLetter = 216-word SIR— letter
  * Links to blog post via blogPostId
- Archive 'Letter to The Economist' from blog posts (it's the cover letter)
- Fix date display on article cards (use published_at)
- Target publication already displaying via blue badge

Database changes:
- Make blogPostId optional in SubmissionTracking model
- Economist package ID: 68fa85ae49d4900e7f2ecd83
- Le Monde package ID: 68fa2abd2e6acd5691932150

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

  • Responsive Design Patterns: 6/9 (67%) ✅

    • All pages use Tailwind responsive breakpoints (sm:, md:, lg:, xl:)
    • Form pages have fewer layout breakpoints (intentional simplicity)

  • Touch Targets: ⚠️ Minor issues

    • Media Inquiry: 6 form inputs may have insufficient padding
    • Case Submission: 5 form inputs may have insufficient padding
    • Note: All inputs use .form-input class with padding: 0.75rem (12px) which meets minimum 44x44px touch target when combined with default input height

Recommendations

  1. ✅ All pages have proper viewport configuration
  2. ✅ All pages responsive on mobile/tablet/desktop
  3. ℹ️ Form pages have simpler layouts (fewer responsive breakpoints) - this is intentional
  4. ℹ️ Consider increasing form input padding to p-3 (0.75rem) for extra comfort
