# SPEC-013 — News digest
Replaces the broken pre-1.0-openai `news_feed.py`. A CLI
(`python -m fjerkroa_bot.news --config <cfg>`) fetches the
`news-feeds` and writes a compact digest to the `news` file that
`AIResponder.message` injects into the `{news}` slot. Feeds are
external input and operator-configured.
### NEWS-01 — RSS and Atom parse to items (coverage: test)
`parse_feed(bytes, label)` extracts `{title, link, source}` from both
RSS (`<item>`) and Atom (`<entry>`) documents, tolerates malformed
XML (returns an empty list, logs), and never raises.
### NEWS-02 — Digest is sanitized and bounded (coverage: test)
`render_digest` caps at `news-max-items`, and every headline passes
`sanitize_external_text` (SAF-03) — a feed cannot inject `@everyone`
or control characters into the prompt via a headline.
### NEWS-03 — Feeds are SSRF-guarded and deduped (coverage: test)
`NewsFetcher.collect` skips any feed URL the SSRF guard rejects,
skips feeds that fail to fetch (one bad feed never sinks the run),
and drops duplicate headlines across feeds.
## Webhook posting (ggg model)
`--post` mode fetches feeds mapped to channels and posts NEW items to
the channel's Discord webhook — replacing the py3.8 `getnews.py`
(dead play3 feed, 35 MB substring-scan state file, HTML-redirect
cruft). Config: `news-post-feeds = [[url, label, channel], …]`,
`news-post-webhooks = {channel = url}`, `news-post-state`.
### NEWS-04 — Only unseen items post, then are marked seen (coverage: test)
`NewsPoster.run_post` posts each item whose key (link, else title) is
not in the seen-set, adds it to the set, and posts to the mapped
channel's webhook. Re-runs over the same feed post nothing new.
### NEWS-05 — First run seeds without flooding (coverage: test)
With no prior state file (`seed_only`), every current item is marked
seen but nothing is posted — migrating off getnews.py never dumps a
backlog into the channels. `news-post-max-per-run` caps steady-state
posts per run.
### NEWS-06 — Post failures and bad channels are survived (coverage: test)
A feed the SSRF guard rejects, a feed that fails to fetch, an item
whose channel has no configured webhook, and a webhook POST that
raises are each logged and skipped — one failure never sinks the
run, and the seen-set still advances for successfully-processed
items.
### NEWS-07 — Item summaries are extracted (coverage: test)
`parse_feed` also captures each item's short description — RSS
`<description>`, Atom `<summary>` or `<content>` — with HTML stripped,
entities unescaped, and whitespace collapsed, so an item carries what
it is about, not only a headline. Missing descriptions yield an empty
summary, never an error.
### NEWS-08 — The digest carries summaries (coverage: test)
`render_digest` appends the sanitized, length-capped
(`news-summary-chars`, default 200) summary after each headline, so
the bot's ambient `{news}` context knows the gist of each story, not
just its title. A zero cap restores the title-only digest.
### NEWS-09 — Fetched news is stored, deduped, and rolled over (coverage: test)
Both the digest run (kroa) and the posting run (ggg) upsert every
fetched item into a `news` table keyed by link (or title), so the same
story is stored once. After each run the store is pruned to the newest
`news-keep` rows (default 400), a rolling window that bounds growth
while keeping recent history searchable.
### NEWS-10 — get_news is offered as a tool (coverage: test)
When `enable-news-tool` is true and a store is configured, the chat
call's `tools` list includes a `get_news` function (optional `topic`,
`source`, `limit`) next to the other tools. Without a store or the
flag it is absent.
### NEWS-11 — get_news retrieves filtered, sanitized items (coverage: test)
`get_news` returns recent stored items, newest first, optionally
narrowed by `topic` (every keyword must appear in the title, summary,
or source label — so `topic: "Nordland"` finds items from that source)
and/or an exact `source`; `limit` is clamped to 1..30. Each result's title and
summary are passed through `sanitize_external_text`. The bot can then
`fetch_url` a returned link for the full article.
### NEWS-12 — get_news is metered per user (coverage: test)
Each `get_news` call increments a per-user daily counter; over
`news-daily-per-user` (default 30) the tool refuses with an error
result without touching the store. The budget gate (SAF-04) still
applies to the surrounding model calls.
