Summary

Add more granular control over when and how articles are published, beyond the current global interval.

Context

Currently there's only a global article_publishing_interval (minutes between posts). For hands-off automation you need more control: quiet hours (don't post at 3am), per-channel pacing, and possibly burst limits.

Goals

Define quiet hours (e.g. only publish between 08:00–22:00)
Per-channel rate limiting (some communities tolerate more frequent posts)
Daily publish cap (prevent flooding if a feed suddenly returns 100 articles)
Timezone-aware scheduling

Tasks

Add settings: quiet hours start/end, timezone, daily publish cap
Per-channel publish interval override (on route or channel level)
Update PublishNextArticleJob to respect quiet hours and caps
Settings UI for schedule configuration
Tests for scheduling logic edge cases (midnight crossover, timezone changes)
