This PR implements the requested pin functionality that allows users to pin news stories at the top of the livefeed. Users can now pin important stories to keep them prominently displayed while new stories continue to flow in below.
Key Features
Pin/Unpin Actions: Hover over any story card to reveal pin and close buttons. The pin button appears to the left of the close button as specified. Click to pin/unpin stories with immediate visual feedback.
Smart Ordering: Pinned stories automatically move to the top of the feed and maintain their pin order (1st pin at top, 2nd pin second, etc.). When stories are unpinned or removed, the remaining pinned stories automatically reorder to maintain sequential numbering.
Visual Indicators: Pinned stories get a distinctive yellow accent border and display "PINNED #N" badges to clearly show their pinned status and order. The pin button itself changes from muted gray to yellow when active.
Persistent Positioning: Pinned stories stay fixed at the top regardless of new story additions to the feed, ensuring important content remains visible.
