there is a lot empty space at the top and bottom of the widget, so a more compact size would do, too - there is no point in empty space of a widget.

Implemented in 9d7ce83.

The iPhone widgets now adapt their content to the selected WidgetKit family instead of leaving the large family under-filled:

Recent Activity supports medium and large sizes, showing up to 3 and 10 rows respectively.
Open Pull Requests supports medium and large sizes, showing up to 2 and 5 rows respectively.
Gallery snapshots and live timelines use the same family-specific limits, so previews accurately represent the installed widget.
TESTING.md now covers both sizes, their row counts, gallery previews, live timelines, accessibility text sizing, and error/empty states.

Verification:

cargo fmt --all -- --check
RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo check --workspace --all-targets
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo test --workspace (44 tests; rerun outside the workspace sandbox because the compatible-contents test binds a local mock server)
Debug arm64 iPhone 17 Pro Simulator build, install, and launch
Widget gallery previews checked for medium/large Recent Activity and Open Pull Requests
Live Home Screen checked with 3-row medium and 10-row large Recent Activity widgets; all rows fit without clipping and the large widget no longer has the reported unused area
Signed Debug device build installed and launched successfully on the paired iPhone 17
