Remembers reading position and auto-scrolls when returning. Works for guests (localStorage) and logged-in users (user meta, per device).

When they return, it automatically scrolls back to where they left off.
Perfect for:
<ul>
<li>Long-form articles</li>
<li>Tutorials or guides</li>
<li>Web novels or manga</li>
<li>Any content where readers often stop and come back later</li>
</ul>
