Product Update: Granular Engagement & Delivery Architecture

We have deployed a comprehensive update to WritOn's notification and email delivery subsystem across our web services and Android application.

Key improvements:
- Explicit Privacy Compliance: All existing reader profiles are seeded with explicit opt-out defaults for optional marketing/editorial digests. You only receive emails you actively choose to read.
- Strict 1-Email-per-7-Days Limit: Even if you follow fifteen active authors, our delivery worker caps optional digest messages to at most one per rolling 7 days across all categories.
- Zero Tracking Pixels: Our transactional and digest emails contain zero tracking pixels and zero URL redirect wrappers. We do not track whether you opened an email or when you read it.
- Signed HMAC-SHA256 Unsubscribe Links: Every email contains a secure, one-click unsubscribe link that works immediately without requiring you to log in or enter your password.

This update is live across production and reflected in release 2.1.52.
