- Add why-comments to the source
App-specific:
- Add tests for connect_module.R and app.R server logic
- Delete dead CSS and unused code
- Move library() calls to DESCRIPTION (#283)

Research direction
Start by inventorying the README, DESCRIPTION, connect_module.R, and app.R, then separate the documentation, test, cleanup, migration, and release tasks into independently verifiable changes. Done requires the README and description updates, how-this-works panel, why-comments, tests for the named R files, cleanup, and the requested version, changelog, checksum, and pagination checks.
