 **2. 书籍** —— 来自 `public/data/books.json`，由 `bookshelf-content.astro` 在构建时 import（文件必须存在）。另外两个文件 `papers.json` / `comics.json` 对应的漫画、论文分类已经移除，文件保留但不再被引用。
 
+`books.json` 为空时，**统计行（N 本已读 / N 本推荐 / N 个领域）、搜索框、领域和评价筛选条会整块隐藏** —— 一排「0」加一排没东西可筛的按钮纯占地方。往 `books.json` 加了书它们会自动回来，不用改代码。手工书单和微信读书都已读完都为空时，会显示一句兜底提示。

 **两个页面共用同一个组件**，不会出现样式跑偏：`bookshelf-content.astro` 收一个 `view: "reading" | "books"`，只是决定渲染哪一块。侧栏那两行是**真链接**（带 `aria-current` 和主色高亮表示当前页），不再是页内锚点。
