- Briefs now fill from a rolling window (prefer today, backfill up to
window_days) and exclude anything featured in the last 7 days of briefs, so
slow days still produce five items without stories lingering day to day.
- New 'check-feeds' command fetches and parses every feed to catch dead ones.
- Added 16 validated sources (science, environment, animals, culture),
expanding coverage from 12 to 28 feeds to reduce staleness.

- deploy/goodnews.service: oneshot unit running 'goodnews cycle' with a
generous TimeoutStartSec so long classify runs are not killed.
- deploy/goodnews.timer: every 15 min, Persistent=true to catch missed runs.
- deploy/goodnews.env.example: LLM endpoint + DB path for the scheduled run.
- README: scheduling/install docs.

- poll_due_sources(): polls only sources whose last successful poll is older
than their poll_interval_minutes (or never polled), finally giving that
config field meaning.
- classify gains only_unclassified to spend the LLM solely on new (heuristic)
articles, so a frequent scheduled run stays cheap.
- 'cycle' command runs poll-due -> classify-new -> rebuild-today's-brief, with
each step non-fatal so a down model endpoint or empty day never aborts it.

- queries.py: shared read-only query helpers (feed, brief, category counts)
returning plain dicts, used by the API and available to the CLI.
- api.py: FastAPI service with Pydantic response models (the companion-app
contract), CORS, and endpoints for categories, feed, brief, and health;
mounts a static site at /.
- static/index.html: minimal dependency-free site rendering the daily five
and topic/flavor category browsing.
- 'goodnews serve' command launches uvicorn (lazy import; core CLI stays
pure-stdlib). Web deps live behind the optional [web] extra.
- Dockerfile + .dockerignore + build-system metadata so the service installs
and deploys cleanly, with the DB mounted as a shared volume.
- README: web/API and deployment docs.

- New taxonomy module: single source of truth for 6 topics x 5 flavors,
shared by the LLM response schema (enum-constrained) and validation.
- Classifier now assigns one topic + one flavor per article; json_schema
enums force valid values, with coercion as a safety net.
- article_scores gains topic/flavor columns via an idempotent migration.
- New 'list-category' command to browse by topic and/or flavor, ranked by
composite score.

- Use json_schema structured output (newer LM Studio rejects json_object),
escalating through json_schema -> json_object -> text and pinning the
first format the server accepts to avoid wasted round-trips.
- Make per-article failures non-fatal and commit incrementally so a single
timeout no longer discards the whole batch.
- Raise default timeout to 180s (configurable via GOODNEWS_LLM_TIMEOUT) for
larger local reasoning models.
