+## utils.ts
+
+`formatAuthorName(author)` — joins `firstName + lastName`, falls back to `email` (for list/summary shapes).
+`formatAuthorDisplayName(author)` — returns `displayName` (for detail `AuthorView` shape).
+`formatPublishedAt(publishedAt, style)` — wraps `formatDate` with null check; `style` is `'short'` (list) or `'long'` (detail).
+
+## Public list is PUBLISHED-only
+
+`GET /api/geschichten` constrains `status=PUBLISHED`, so DRAFT journeys never appear in the list.
+The REISE badge is only ever seen for published journeys.
+Empty-state and draft-preview paths are reachable ONLY via the **detail route** (`/geschichten/[id]`), not the list.
+Wire empty-state E2E tests through the detail route, not by expecting a draft journey in the list.
+
+## TypeSelector route component
+
+`TypeSelector.svelte` lives in `src/routes/geschichten/new/` (single-use route UI).
+It is NOT in `$lib/geschichte/` — route-specific, not reused elsewhere.
+`StoryCreate.svelte` (also in `new/`) wraps `GeschichteEditor` so tree-shaking excludes TipTap from the JOURNEY placeholder path.

 ## Audience note

-The `/geschichten` route primarily serves readers (younger family members on mobile). Cards must have ≥ 44 px touch targets. Status must not rely on color alone.
+The `/geschichten` route primarily serves readers (younger family members on mobile). Cards must have ≥ 44 px touch targets. Status must not rely on color alone. JourneyReader mobile layout is Critical; TypeSelector is Minor.
