just fixed a few bugs in the New Session CMS that should make it easier to read stories on terminals that need CRLFs instead of just LFs

this is one of the most exciting things i've seen in a while. a new direction to go in!
GOOD NEWS! after many months stuck on the janky and slow Python CMS, New Session Issue 1 is now back online on the new fancy JVM CMS!
