+Feature: Single article read follows the same online/offline visibility rule as the list
+
+  As a visitor of the public site and as an authenticated RenewCMS user
+  I want GET /v1/article/{id} to return an online article to anyone, and an offline article
+    only to a caller resolved as verified, with an unknown id and a hidden offline id
+    answering the exact same 404
+  So that the public site can read a single published article through the API, and a verified
+    user can open their own unpublished draft to edit it, while a draft never leaks its existence
+    to anyone else
+
+  Background:
+    Given internal/domain/article.Article has a json "is_online" field and the sentinel
+      article.ErrArticleNotFound
+    And GetArticleUseCase.GetArticle(id) returns the article regardless of is_online, and
+      GetArticleUseCase.GetOnlineArticle(id) returns article.ErrArticleNotFound when the article
+      exists but is offline, both already implemented and unchanged by this slice
+    And before this slice, GET /v1/article/{id} sits inside the jwtauth Verifier + Authenticator +
+      middleware.RequireVerifiedUser group in api/router.go, so a missing jwt cookie answers 401, an
+      authenticated-but-unverified caller answers 403, and even a verified caller always resolves
+      through GetOnlineArticle, so an offline article answers 404 no matter who asks
+      (features/not_found_errors.feature, features/verified_account_required.feature)
+    And this slice moves GET /v1/article/{id} out of that group and into the jwtauth.Verifier-only
+      group that already holds GET /v1/article/ (features/public_article_listing.feature), so a
+      missing or invalid jwt cookie no longer blocks the request; POST /v1/article/,
+      DELETE /v1/article/{id}, PATCH /v1/article/{id}, PATCH /v1/article/{id}/publish,
+      PATCH /v1/article/{id}/unpublish and POST /v1/article/{id}/image keep requiring
+      Verifier + Authenticator + RequireVerifiedUser, unchanged
+    And Handler.GetArticle reuses the existing Handler.callerIsVerified(r) helper already used by
+      Handler.ListArticles: when the request resolves to a verified account it calls
+      GetUseCase.GetArticle(id); otherwise (no jwt, malformed jwt, unresolvable user_id, a deleted
+      account, or an account that exists but is not yet verified) it calls
+      GetUseCase.GetOnlineArticle(id), exactly the same fallback rule
+      features/verified_account_required.feature already documents for the listing endpoint
+    And an id that does not parse as a uint32 still answers 400 with apperr.IdUint32ErrorMessage
+      before any lookup happens, for every caller, unchanged
+    And a domain article.ErrArticleNotFound, whether the id is truly unknown or is an offline
+      article hidden from this caller, still answers 404 with apperr.ArticleNotFoundErrorMessage
+      ("Article not found"), the identical body either way, so no response distinguishes the two
+    And a repository failure other than article.ErrArticleNotFound still answers 500 with the text
+      "Internal server error", regardless of caller state, unchanged
+    And this slice amends features/verified_account_required.feature: the Examples table of
+      "An authenticated but unverified user is refused on every protected article route" and of "A
+      request with no jwt cookie is still refused with 401, never 403" both drop their
+      "GET /v1/article/1" row, since that route no longer applies RequireVerifiedUser or requires a
+      cookie at all
+    And this slice amends features/not_found_errors.feature: "Fetching an offline article still
+      answers 404 with the same message" now holds only for an anonymous or unverified caller, not
+      a verified one, and "The article route still requires authentication before existence is even

+# QA procedure: public_article_read
+
+Package: `test` (black-box, extending `article_test.go`, `verified_account_required_http_test.go`
+and `not_found_errors_test.go`).
+
+## Setup shared by every case
+1. Call `validator.InitValidator()` once.
+2. Reuse `mockArticleRepo` (`test/article_test.go`) and `mockUserRepo` (`test/verified_account_required_http_test.go`)
+   as-is; no fake changes expected.
+3. Wire the real use cases over the fakes: `useCases.NewGetArticleUseCase`, `useCases.NewGetUserUseCase`,
+   plus `NewCreateArticleUseCase`/`NewListArticlesUseCase`/`NewDeleteArticleUseCase`/
+   `NewUpdateArticleUseCase` for the regression routes. Build
+   `article.NewHandler(create, get, list, delete, update, getUser)`.
+4. Build a test `jwtauth.New("HS256", []byte("test-secret"), nil)`.
+5. Mount routes on a fresh `chi.NewRouter()` mirroring the amended `api/router.go` shape:
+   - `r.Route("/v1", func(r chi.Router) { r.Route("/article", func(r chi.Router) { ... }) })`
+   - `r.Use(jwtauth.Verifier(token))` on the whole `/article` group
+   - `r.Get("/", articleHandler.ListArticles)` and `r.Get("/{id}", articleHandler.GetArticle)`
+     directly under that Verifier-only group
+   - a nested `r.Group` adding `jwtauth.Authenticator(token)` then
+     `middleware.RequireVerifiedUser(getUserUseCase)`, containing `r.Post("/", ...)`,
+     `r.Delete("/{id}", ...)`, `r.Patch("/{id}", ...)`, `r.Patch("/{id}/publish", ...)`,
+     `r.Patch("/{id}/unpublish", ...)`
+   No live server.
+6. Mint a valid jwt cookie for user id 1 via `token.Encode(map[string]any{"user_id": uint32(1)})`.
+7. Seed the article repo directly, e.g. `repo.articles[1] = article.Article{ID: 1, Title:
+   "Backyard Renovation Update", IsOnline: true}` and `repo.articles[2] = article.Article{ID: 2,
+   Title: "Draft: Kitchen Remodel", IsOnline: false}`.
+8. Seed the user repo with `repo.users[1] = user.User{ID: 1, IsVerified: <true|false>}` as each case needs.
+
+## HTTP checks
+9. `GET /v1/article/1` (online), no cookie -> 200, decode body, assert `id == 1`.
+10. `GET /v1/article/2` (offline), no cookie -> 404, body `"Article not found\n"`.
+11. `GET /v1/article/9999` (no article with that id), no cookie -> 404, body `"Article not found\n"`.
+12. `GET /v1/article/2`, cookie for user 1 with `IsVerified: true` -> 200, decode body, assert `id == 2`.
+13. `GET /v1/article/1`, cookie for user 1 with `IsVerified: true` -> 200, `id == 1`.
+14. `GET /v1/article/9999`, cookie for user 1 with `IsVerified: true` -> 404, body `"Article not found\n"`.
+15. `GET /v1/article/2`, cookie for user 1 with `IsVerified: false` -> 404, body `"Article not found\n"`
+    (never 403).
+16. `GET /v1/article/1` and `GET /v1/article/2`, cookie named `jwt` whose value is an arbitrary
+    non-token string (e.g. `"not-a-real-token"`) -> 200 for id 1, 404 for id 2 (same as step 9/10,
+    proving the invalid cookie falls back to public visibility).
+17. `GET /v1/article/not-a-number`, no cookie -> 400, body `apperr.IdUint32ErrorMessage + "\n"`.
+18. Regression, no cookie: `POST /v1/article/` -> 401; `DELETE /v1/article/1` -> 401;
+    `PATCH /v1/article/1` -> 401; `PATCH /v1/article/1/publish` -> 401;
+    `PATCH /v1/article/1/unpublish` -> 401.
+19. Configure the fake repo's `failSwitch` so the next `Get` call returns `errRepositoryFailure`
+    (`failNext("Get")`). `GET /v1/article/1` with no cookie -> 500, body `"Internal server error\n"`.
+
+## Required amendments to existing tests/specs (part of this slice, not optional cleanup)
+20. `test/verified_account_required_http_test.go`: move `r.Get("/{id}", articleHandler.GetArticle)`
+    in `newVerifiedAccountRequiredRouter` out of the `Authenticator` + `RequireVerifiedUser` group
+    into the outer Verifier-only group (mirroring step 5 above); remove the
+    `{http.MethodGet, "/v1/article/1", ""}` row from `protectedRouteCases` and the
+    `{http.MethodGet, "/v1/article/1"}` row from `noCookieCases` in `TestVerifiedAccountRequiredHttp`,
+    since that route no longer produces 403 or 401.
+21. `test/not_found_errors_test.go`: move `r.Get("/{id}", articleHandler.GetArticle)` in
+    `newNotFoundErrorsRouter` the same way; change the `"Fetching an offline article still answers
+    404 with the same message"` subtest to use an unverified or anonymous caller (it currently uses
+    `newVerifiedUserRepo()`, which will now 200 instead of 404); replace `"The article route still
+    requires authentication before existence is even checked"` with an assertion that an anonymous
+    request for an unknown id now answers 404 (covered by step 11 above, so this subtest can instead
+    be deleted in favor of the new test file, or repurposed to check `GET /v1/article/1` with no
+    cookie still answers 200 as a cross-file regression note).
+    `features/verified_account_required.feature` and `features/not_found_errors.feature` get the
+    corresponding Examples-table/scenario edits described in this feature's Background.
+
+## Manual verification (not exercised by the Go test)
+- SPA-visible behaviour: confirm the public front-office single-article view (unauthenticated) can
+  open a published article and 404s on a draft URL, and the authenticated back-office view can open
+  its own unpublished draft for editing, against the real embedded frontend and a real SQLite file.
+  Not exercised by `task test`; requires `task dev` or a built `task build` binary.
+- No SMTP involvement.
