Add Light and Medium Night-mode grades; release Sans 0.42 - #27
The anti-glare Night grade existed only for Regular (400). A reader who moved the weight slider to Light or Medium in dark mode fell back to the Day drawing. This adds matching Night faces for Light (300) and Medium (500), upright and real italic, so all three body-text weights get the same relief.

Each Night face keeps its Day face's exact letter widths and kerning, so lines never move when a reader toggles Day/Night at the same weight. (Changing weight can still move lines, as it always has.)
The "SEIHouse Sans Night" / "SEIReader Night" CSS family now holds weights 300, 400 and 500. The existing --seihouse-sans-regular-family / --seireader-regular-family variables keep their names and now grade all three.
SemiBold and Bold have no Night face. docs/APP-INSTALL.md says to keep the Day family for 600/700 (including <strong> inside graded text), otherwise a browser substitutes Night Medium.
Release
Sans is bumped to 0.42.0 so the package can be delivered to Development under a new version.
4 new full faces (.otf + .woff2) and 28 new subsets: 16 full faces and 112 subsets in total.
All 108 existing 0.41 deliveries keep identical outlines, hints, metrics and layout. Only their version stamp changes (name, CFF , head). A new test asserts exactly that against the 0.41 fixture.
New tests/fixtures/reader-0.42-identity.json; the 0.41 fixture is kept unchanged.
Full package grows from 911,376 to 1,213,508 font bytes. Browsers still download only the faces a page uses.
The comparison preview, three-chapter reading test and homepage specimen now switch to the Night face at 300 and 500 as well as 400.
font_builder.py is untouched, so Display motion certification and Living Titles are unaffected. The Light/Medium Night faces get their own legacy family name in a small step in make_fonts.py.
A second, independent rebuild of all six Night faces matched the committed fonts table-for-table
Rendered Light/Regular/Medium Day vs Night on a dark page in Chromium: identical line breaks, visibly thinner Night strokes
The Windows rebuild job has not run yet; it is the one check this branch could not run locally.
Delivered to Development
SENSEIDUKES/development#589 swaps the vendored package to seihouse-seireader-0.42.0.tgz packed from a71e1d0. The later changelog-only commit does not change the package.
Add Night optical grades for Light (300) and Medium (500), upright and
italic, beside Regular. Each keeps its Day face's exact advances and
kerning. The Night CSS family now covers weights 300, 400 and 500.
Bump Sans to 0.42 and rebuild all 16 faces and 112 subsets; the 108
existing deliveries change only their version stamp. Add the 0.42
identity fixture and wire the grades into the comparison preview,
reading test and homepage specimen.

Sans 0.42 expands Night-grade font generation and delivery to Light, Regular, and Medium in upright and italic styles. The change updates CSS, previews, subset generation, and distribution validation. Release metadata, tests, and documentation now describe the expanded font set.

Summary
Generate Night faces and CSS make_fonts.py, build_distribution.py, fonts-full.css, fonts-sans.css, fonts.css
Font generation now builds Night grades for Light, Regular, and Medium in upright and italic styles. The stylesheets define Night faces at weights 300, 400, and 500. Their comments describe the −4 grade and unchanged Day advances.
Wire Night grades into previews and subsets build_subsets.py, build_site.mjs, build_comparison.py, comparison_template.html, lab/reading-test.html, site/home.js
The builders include additional Night styles. Comparison and reading views select Night faces in non-Day themes for weights 300, 400, and 500.
Package and validate the expanded delivery package.json, verify_distribution.py, verify_license.py, verify_shared_engine.py, tests/*
The package manifest and distribution checks account for the added Night faces. Tests cover Night-grade metrics, unchanged glyph metrics, reading-curve preservation, and font identity comparisons.
Update release versions and documentation phase4.json, CHANGELOG.md, README.md, docs/APP-INSTALL.md, docs/HOW-TO-USE.txt
Release metadata and documentation identify version 0.42 and describe the expanded Night-face set and updated delivery counts.
SEIHouse/FONT-LAB#21: Adds the Regular Night-grade mechanism and CSS family that this change extends to Light and Medium.
SEIHouse/FONT-LAB#26: Releases Sans 0.41, the baseline version referenced by this change's release and identity updates.

Explanation
The title names the two main changes: Light and Medium Night-mode grades, and the Sans 0.42 release. The changeset adds Light (300) and Medium (500) Night faces in upright and italic, and bumps the version to 0.42.0 across package.json, phase4.json, CSS, docs, and tests. The title covers the primary change and the release, and it does not describe anything absent from the changeset.

when switching between Day and Night at the same weight. Remove the claim that
changing weight preserves line breaks; keep the surrounding font-family
description unchanged.
