Problem

In the Journey (Lesereise) reading view, the narrative content renders at text-xs (12px) / text-sm (14px): intro paragraph, letter card titles, meta lines, "Brief öffnen" links, curator annotations, and interludes. That is below the project's own accessibility floor (body text minimum 16px, seniors prefer 18px — see .claude/personas/ui_expert.md). The user reports it is exhausting to read even for a younger reader on a laptop.

The sizes were copied faithfully from the LR-2 impl-ref, which inherited the scaled-mockup font sizes — so this is a spec bug, not an implementation bug.

Fix (in `JourneyReader.svelte`, `JourneyItemCard.svelte`, `JourneyInterlude.svelte`)

Element	Now	Target
Intro paragraph	`text-sm`	`text-lg` (matches StoryReader body)
Letter card title	`text-sm`	`text-base`
Meta line	`text-xs`	`text-sm`
"Brief öffnen" link	`text-xs`	`text-sm`
Curator annotation	`text-xs`	`text-base` (it is narrative content)
Interlude text	`text-xs`	`text-base` (it is narrative content)

Update the LR-2 impl-ref rows in docs/specs/lesereisen-reader-spec.html to match.

Acceptance criteria

No reading content in the journey view below 14px; narrative text (intro, notes, interludes) at 16px+
LR-2 impl-ref table updated
Story reading view unchanged (text-lg body)
