feat: only track reading progress for articles above minimum length

- Add MIN_CONTENT_LENGTH constant (1000 chars ≈ 150 words) to config/kinds
- Create shouldTrackReadingProgress helper to validate content length
- Strip HTML tags when calculating character count
- Only save reading progress for articles meeting the threshold
- Log when content is too short to track

This prevents noisy tracking of very short articles or excerpts.
