Add a temporary touch interaction lock #61

Description

@mokhov

Problem

Holding or carrying a touch device can cause unwanted page turns and reader actions.

Proposed behavior

Allow readers to temporarily lock navigation gestures while keeping a clear, deliberate unlock path.

Acceptance criteria

  • The locked state blocks page-turn taps and swipes without hiding the current page.
  • A visible and screen-reader-accessible unlock control remains available.
  • Unlocking requires a deliberate gesture that is unlikely to occur accidentally.
  • The lock does not survive a browser reload or opening another book unless explicitly configured.
  • Keyboard Escape and accessibility recovery paths are documented and tested.
