fix(#73): consume canonical Weekend Context contract and repair navigation

Address the independent review blockers on PR #80 after rebasing onto the
authoritative #72 Weekend Context API.

- Replace the invented frontend WeekendContext with the exact backend contract
  (temporal_state, previous/focus/next meetings, previous_completed/active/next/
  default_analysis sessions with availability). Every valid canonical payload now
  maps to a designed state via a total resolveViewState; a well-formed response
  can never fall through to the limited-data placeholder.
- Make the canonical read the single source of truth: useWeekendContext no longer
  fans out to season/meetings/per-weekend/OpenF1/live queries. Only supplementary
  championship + news reads run, and only once the canonical context resolves.
- Fix the Prepare/analysis flow: /preview is a stable alias that renders the
  preparation surface (PreSessionView) instead of redirecting back to the same
  between-races screen.
- One primary navigation system per breakpoint: the mobile top-bar links are
  hidden so the bottom bar is the sole primary nav, and Admin is moved out of
  every Primary landmark into an operator-utilities toolbar.
- Add Vitest coverage for the contract mapping, every temporal state, loading/
  error/limited surfaces, the no-fanout guarantee, the /preview CTA, and the nav
  hierarchy; add hermetic Playwright journeys (seeded + injected canonical
  payloads), 390/768/1440 overflow checks, and Weekend visual snapshots. Retire
  the stale Command Center specs/snapshots.

+# v0.4.0 — Current Weekend & Product Truth
+
+Product research references for the v0.4.0 feature sprint.
+
+## Direction
+
+The sprint replaces route-first navigation with a state-aware Weekend experience:
+
+- Weekend is the adaptive home for what happened, what is live, and what is next.
+- Preview content folds into Weekend before a session.
+- Live remains a stable deep link and becomes Weekend's active-session state.
+- Race Hub remains explicit completed-session analysis rather than a primary landing destination.
+- Championship and Briefing remain dedicated destinations.
+- Explore owns secondary discovery; Admin moves to operator utility.
+
+## Mockups
+
+- `mockups/weekend-between-races.png` — desktop between-races/post-weekend state.
+- `mockups/weekend-live.png` — desktop active-session state; the circuit is static sector context, not live GPS.
+- `mockups/weekend-between-sessions-mobile.png` — 390×844 between-session state.
+
+These are directional references, not pixel-perfect specifications. Implementations must preserve the established box-box visual language, accessibility, data constraints, and responsive behavior while satisfying their issue acceptance criteria.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- No OpenF1 REST dependency during active sessions.
+- Public live GPS is not assumed to be available.
+- Championship round numbers exclude tests and cancelled meetings.
+- Connection health, live-session state, archive availability, and local-analysis readiness are separate concepts.
+- Future sessions must not render empty post-session analysis.
+
+The authoritative product decisions and research packet are recorded in GitHub issue #71 under epic #70.
