Description

### Clear and concise description of the problem

Right now when Histoire is opened, a blank screen is show.

### Suggested solution

I'd be nice to be able to have a **Welcome page/Home page** that you can redact yourself (kind of an `index.html` or something).

### Alternative

A good alternative would be to have a way to indicate which Story you'd like to be opened by default.

### Additional context

_No response_

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. First trace how Histoire chooses and renders its initial screen, then determine whether configuration should select a custom welcome page, a default story, or both. Done means opening Histoire no longer shows a blank screen when an initial destination is configured.
