nodecode-morning-briefing

Morning Briefing: the day's weather and the last 36 hours of headlines as one printable newsprint page. A Nodecode rewrite of drkpxl/morning-briefing by drkpxl.

Get it

Tell the agent "add the morning briefing cell", or run nodecode add nc://morning-briefing.

Set it up

A latitude and a longitude, in the morning-briefing section (/settings, or the page's Settings tab):

"morning-briefing": {
  "latitude": "44.05",
  "longitude": "-121.31",
  "place": "Bend, Oregon",
  "subreddits": ["news", "worldnews", "technology", "science"],
  "hours": 36,
  "max_items": 12
}

radar_station adds the National Weather Service's color radar image for that station (KRTX); output_dir picks where the page is written, this home's briefings/ otherwise. No key is needed: both sources are public.

Use it

Ask for the briefing, call the tool, or type /briefing:

morning_briefing topics=["science", "technology"] hours=36 max_items=12
/briefing
/briefing science technology

It writes briefing-YYYY-MM-DD.html and answers the path plus a plain-text digest: the dateline, the weather, then one line a headline. Open the file in a browser and print it (Letter, no headers) for the page the original printed every morning.

Where each section of the page comes from:

Section	Source
Weather strip	the National Weather Service's forecast API, at the section's coordinates
Radar image	`radar.weather.gov` for `radar_station`, when it is set
Headlines	each subreddit's own Atom feed (`/r/<name>/new/.rss`), timestamped and filtered to the window

A source that does not answer costs only its own section: the page says so in place rather than leaving a gap. A headline with no timestamp inside the window is not printed: a thin news day is honest, stale news is not.

What is in it

File	What it is
`cell.lisp`	The section, the two reads, the newsprint page, the tool and the command.
`test/cell-test.lisp`	Lifecycle, the page, the tool through its contract, the refusal without a place: every request stubbed.
