Operator feedback: thumbnails too small to judge order, no obvious way to mark
'this installment is Part 2', and the permanent two-pane picker was busy and
competed with the ordering work.
- Full-width parts, each a card with a big page grid (150px, contain so whole
pages are visible) and drag-to-reorder; positional page number as a badge.
- Editable Part # (hero field) backed by new series_chapter.stated_part —
separate from the auto-managed chapter_number, mirroring the page_number vs
stated_page split so reorder/delete renumbering can't wipe a hand-set part.
Missing-Part hints when consecutive parts' stated_part jump >1.
- Each part labels its source post (derived from pages' primary_post_id) and
shows the printed-page range with clear labels.
- Picker demoted to an on-demand right slide-over ('Add pages') with a target-
part selector; part actions (move/merge/delete) collapsed into an overflow ⋮.
alembic 0042 adds series_chapter.stated_part (nullable int).

The post-aware on-ramp + the data behind the missing Series browse view.
- page_number_parser: conservative stated-page parser (pages 9-12 / page 5 /
[3/8] / 3 of 8), keyword-gated to avoid false positives. Pure + unit-tested.
- SeriesService.promote_post_to_series: a self-contained post becomes its own
series — series tag named after the post, one chapter, the post's images as
pages (ordered by capture order; stated pages parsed from title/description).
- SeriesService.add_post_as_chapter: append a post as the next chapter of an
existing series, titled after the post and slotted by parsed page number
(a "pages 1-4" post lands ahead of the "pages 9-12" chapter).
- SeriesService.list_series: browse cards — cover thumb, artist, chapter/page
counts, gap flag, last-updated; sort recent|name|size + filter by artist.
- API: GET /api/series, POST /api/series/from-post, POST /api/series/<id>/add-post.
- Resolver uses ImageRecord.primary_post_id (same linkage the posts feed renders).
Frontend (Add-to-series control + Series view + nav) lands next.
