User Stories

As a reading challenge participant, I want access to a widget so I can be reminded daily about the challenge without intrusive push notifications.

Requirements:

Reading challenge widget is visible for Logged-in and logged-out users
Tapping anywhere other than a CTA on the widget opens the Explore Feed
- If user has Explore disabled, go to Search
Create small and large version of Widget
Large widget should be able to support up to 2 individual, clickable CTAs that lead to Search and Random

This task is scoped to component creation and UI/CTA functionality for the widget only. It does not determine or manage any state, that responsibility belongs to individual tasks. This task will be part of the feature branch PR, as the branch already contains related widget components and CTA work, with each task owning its own logic independently.

Adjust any of the available settings to change the widget's state
After making changes, return to home screen to see them reflected in the widget.

hi @WRai-WMF, since this task doesn't manage any particular state can we skip having it be in my column? it seems i'll be reviewing all the states separately. cc @HNordeenWMF
