Implement red verse numbers to distinguish verses that have detailed
JSON-based commentary from those with generic template commentary.
Changes:
- Add is_enhanced flag to commentary generation logic
- Style verse numbers red when enhanced commentary exists
- Support both light mode (crimson) and dark mode (bright red)
Verses with enhanced commentary in verse_commentary.json now display
with red numbers, making it easy for users to identify which verses
have additional study resources available.

This commit completes a comprehensive data migration, externalizing all hardcoded
theological content from Python modules to structured JSON files in the data/ directory.
## Changes
### New JSON Data Files (3 files, 356 KB total)
- **study_guides.json** (265 KB): 25 complete study guides with 183 sections and 732 verse references
- 6 categories: Foundational, Character & Living, Biblical Themes, Doctrinal, Thematic, Family
- **word_studies.json** (35 KB): 53 biblical terms with Hebrew/Greek definitions
- Includes transliterations, meanings, and theological notes for OT and NT
- **verse_commentary.json** (56 KB): 22 verses with detailed theological analysis
- Includes analysis, historical context, applications, and reflection questions
### Code Refactoring
**routes/study_guides.py** (1,248 lines removed, 85% reduction)
- Replaced 1,070 lines of hardcoded study guide content with JSON loader
- File reduced from 1,463 lines to 215 lines
- Added @lru_cache JSON loaders for performance
- Removed `_get_study_guides_catalog_old()` and `_get_study_guides_content_old()`
**routes/commentary.py** (496 lines removed, 11.7% reduction)
- Replaced 494 lines of hardcoded word studies and verse commentary
- File reduced from 4,222 lines to 3,726 lines
- Added structured JSON loaders with data transformation:
- `_load_word_studies()`: Converts flat JSON to nested OT/NT structure
- `_load_verse_commentary()`: Parses verse references into book/chapter/verse hierarchy
- Removed hardcoded `word_studies` (226 lines) and `enhanced_commentary` (268 lines) dictionaries
## Benefits
- **Maintainability**: Non-developers can now edit theological content in JSON
- **Performance**: @lru_cache ensures data loaded once per process
- **Separation of Concerns**: Content separated from application logic
- **Version Control**: Easier to track content changes in structured format
- **Scalability**: Can add new study guides/commentary without code changes
## Testing
- All 252 tests pass
- Verified data structure compatibility
- Confirmed JSON loaders work correctly with existing templates
