- REFACTOR: The letters page rendered a full PDF per card via /b2s_image -> wkhtmltopdf. Several concurrent renders starve the worker pool (wkhtmltopdf calls back for assets with no free worker) and freeze the instance. Serve the first page as an image via /my2/letter_preview instead: no subprocess, no callback, so previews load concurrently without wedging workers. /b2s_image stays for opening/downloading the full PDF.
