G1 steps 5-6: input prompts, bookmarks, downloads, Saved Pages

Everything touching the network or the card is a job on the Gemini
task (a missing card can block 5 s, past the main loop's watchdog):
about:start is composed from /gemini/bookmarks.gmi and the Saved Pages
(by capsule, newest first); file:// opens a Saved Page; s, S, r, d, b
and downloads report one line to the URL bar, S with progress Toasts.

A Saved Page is the cached body with a first line "> Saved from <url>
on <date>": it shows as a quote and gives relative links their base;
inside one, links to other Saved Pages open the saved copy, others go
online or say "Not saved, and offline". Input prompts (11 masked)
request the same URL with the answer as its query.

Fixed on the way: re-wrapping indented lines rebuilt the text from its
rows, inserting a space where a long word had been cut; refreshing
loaded the whole Saved Page next to a TLS connection (heap down to 436
bytes), now it reads one line and every fetch checks the 55 KB floor.

# G1 — Gemini client
**Status:** steps 1–6 built and checked on the device (branch `g1`); one item left for a check by hand: reading Saved Pages with Wi-Fi off.
**Goal:** browse Geminispace from the Cardputer: fetch and read gemtext over TLS, follow links, answer input prompts, keep bookmarks, and save pages to the SD card to read later, offline. A side milestone between M2 and M3, tagged v0.5.0 when done.
Gemini (geminiprotocol.net): one request per TLS connection on port 1965, the request is the URL and CRLF, the response a `<status> <meta>` header line, then the body. Most capsules use self-signed certificates: trust on first use is the norm.

- `gemini://geminiprotocol.net/`: `20 text/gemini`, 1,184 bytes, TLS handshake 0.7–1.1 s, whole fetch 0.7–1.1 s; kennedy.gemi.dev 1.9 s. The fetch task's stack peaks at about 3.6 KB of 6.
- **Heap, Debug Build, IRC connected over TLS:** about 68 KB free before a fetch. After the handshake the fetch holds about 32 KB (36–40 KB left); the handshake itself (certificate chain parsed with the 16 KB receive buffer allocated) dips to about **24 KB** for a second or two. Nothing leaks: the heap after matches the heap before.
- **Step 3, Cosmos (31.6 KB) with IRC connected:** first stopped at 4.6 KB (RAM only, the transfer's 20 KB floor). Streamed to the card: the whole page on the card, 20 KB of it loaded, lowest free heap 19.5 KB during the transfer and 43 KB once loaded. Without IRC: the whole page in RAM. Redirects (Cosmos `31`), input (`10`), not found (`51`) and a changed certificate (refused, both fingerprints shown) all checked on the device.
- **Steps 4–6 on the device:** Project Gemini and its relative links, Back with the scroll restored, a refused YouTube link; `b` bookmarks, `s` saves (and says when it replaced an older copy), `S` saved 6 of 6 pages, the start page lists both; a Saved Page opens from the card with its origin, its saved links open saved copies, `r` refreshes, `d` asks first; Kennedy's input prompt sent "cardputer" and got 87 results; emoji drawn as `?`.
- **A bug found there:** refreshing first loaded the whole Saved Page into RAM just to read its origin, next to the App's copy and a TLS connection: the heap fell to 436 bytes. Now only the first line is read, and every fetch (pages, saves, refreshes) checks the 55 KB start floor. Lowest since boot afterwards: 53.8 KB.
- Antenna (`warmedal.se`) doesn't answer, from the PC either; the default aggregator becomes Cosmos (`gemini://skyjake.fi/~Cosmos/`, which redirects to `cosmos.skyjake.fi`).
