Applied on every visit. A link with its own settings always wins, so shared links still show what the sender saw.
Audio briefing
Motion
The ring colour and pattern carry the meaning; the sweep is decoration, so turning it off loses nothing. Already off automatically if your system asks for reduced motion.
Glass
Clear and frosted apply to the glass themes (Liquid, Aether and the iPhone finishes), and the background sits behind them. Story text always stays on frosted glass so it is easy to read. Glass is off automatically if your system asks for reduced transparency.

Top stories — Rising
Accelerating
Ranked by how fast independent organisations are picking a story up — sources per hour since first sighting — not by how many have. Three outlets in forty minutes outrank six over two days, which is the entire point of this view. Rates are floored at a 45-minute observation window, so a story minutes old cannot post an absurd number and sit here forever; those are marked upper bound.

Showing the 2 fastest. 1 is cresting — already past peak pickup and decaying. A story qualifies once two independent tier-1/2 organisations have published it and one has arrived within 12 hours. Measured at build time from the sources' own publish times — most recent pickup on this list, 7.2h old; the story pages show the arrival order we actually observed.
