- 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.
