Feature description

Add a toggleable Bionic Reading patch that bolds the first half of each word in post bodies and comments.

Motivation

Reddit is a text-heavy platform but offers no reading aids for long posts and comment threads. Bionic Reading reduces cognitive load and improves reading speed by bolding the first half of each word, making dense content easier to parse. This benefits power readers and users prone to reading fatigue, and as a toggleable patch it remains completely opt-in.
