Fill and who can see it

The editor list always wins, and fill runs only when that list has nothing a visitor can see.

• Shared tags, then same category: articles that share the most tags come first, then newer publish dates. If there are no shared tags, newer articles in the same category are used.
• Show nothing: an empty assignment stays empty. No tags and no category fill.

A visitor only sees an article when all of these are true:

• Published, and inside the start and finish publishing window
• Allowed for the visitor's access level
• The current language, or All, when multilingual is on
• Not the article they are already reading

Fill does not top up a partial list. Two assigned articles stay two, even if the limit is higher.
