thejayman77 2a9c49e2a9 Sparse-day-proof briefs, feed health check, and 16 new sources 
- 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.
