A single news post now ships as nine per-`d` language variants and the
publisher emits English first, giving it the oldest `created_at` in the
batch. With the store capped at 8 events across all d-tags, the English
event was always the 9th-newest and got evicted — English readers saw no
news. The catch-up/subscription filter also capped fetches at 4, so fresh
installs only ever received the newest four events.
Raise NEWS_CAP from 8 to 18 (two full nine-language posts) and bump the
news filter limit from 4 to 18 to match. Selection logic is unchanged.
Extend the reconcile_news test with a nine-variant batch that proves the
untagged English event survives under the real cap.
