web: Erstquelle-Absatz in der Veröffentlichungsmail, vierte Transparenzseite „kostenlos veröffentlichen" (Anhang 1: 1d, 2.4, E7)

Meldungen, die über die API eingegangen sind, bekommen in der
Veröffentlichungsmail einen Absatz zum Unterschied Erstquelle/Kopie —
technische Tatsache, ohne Preis und Angebot; direkt eingereichte nicht.

/pressemitteilung-kostenlos-veroeffentlichen beantwortet die Suche nach
„kostenlos" ehrlich: kein kostenloser Weg (E7), was kostenlose Portale
leisten, warum Links aus Presseportalen kaum tragen (auch bei uns
sponsored nofollow), warum Annahme ohne Gegenwert und Prüfung sich
ausschließen, wer am Ende zahlt. Die Liste kostenloser Portale ist in
config/transparency.php vorbereitet und bleibt leer, bis geprüfte
Einträge mit Prüfdatum vorliegen.

Unter-Navigation, Hilfe, Sitemaps, llms.txt und die Modelltabelle der
Kostenseite verlinken die neue Seite. Anhang 1 und Protokoll Teil 6.
