Subject: [PATCH 2/5] test(aggregators): add comprehensive test suite for Kagi
 News aggregator

Adds 57 tests with 83% code coverage across all components:

Test coverage by component:
- RSS Fetcher (5 tests): fetch, retry, timeout, invalid XML
- HTML Parser (8 tests): all sections, missing sections, full story
- Rich Text Formatter (10 tests): facets, UTF-8, multi-byte chars
- State Manager (12 tests): deduplication, rolling window, persistence
- Config Manager (3 tests): YAML validation, env vars
- Main Orchestrator (9 tests): E2E flow, error isolation, dry-run
- E2E Tests (6 skipped): require live Coves API

Test results: 57 passed, 6 skipped, 1 warning in 8.76s

Fixtures:
- Real Kagi News RSS item with all sections (sample_rss_item.xml)
- Used to validate parser against actual feed structure

All tests use pytest with mocking for HTTP requests (responses library).

+  <description>&lt;p&gt;The White House confirmed President Trump will hold a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea on October 30, at the end of an Asia trip that includes Malaysia and Japan . The administration said the meeting will take place Thursday morning local time, and Mr Trump indicated his first question to Xi would concern fentanyl and other bilateral issues . The talks come amid heightened trade tensions after Beijing expanded export curbs on rare-earth minerals and following Mr Trump's recent threat of additional tariffs on Chinese goods, making the meeting a focal point for discussions on trade, technology supply chains and energy .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src='https://kagiproxy.com/img/Q2SRXQtwTYBIiQeI0FG-X6taF_wHSJaXDiFUzju2kbCWGuOYIFUX--8L0BqE4VKxpbOJY3ylFPJkDpfSnyQYZ1qdOLXbphHTnsOK4jb7gqC4KCn5nf3ANbWCuaFD5ZUSijiK0k7wOLP2fyX6tynu2mPtXlCbotLo2lTrEswZl4-No2AI4mI4lkResfnRdp-YjpoEfCOHkNfbN1-0cNcHt9T2dmgBSXrQ2w' alt='News image associated with coverage of President Trump&amp;#x27;s Asia trip and planned meeting with President Xi' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Highlights:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Itinerary details: The Asia swing begins in Malaysia, continues to Japan and ends with the bilateral meeting in South Korea on Thursday morning local time, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a briefing .&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;APEC context: US officials indicated the leaders will meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation gathering, shaping expectations for short, high-level talks rather than a lengthy summit .&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tariff escalation: President Trump recently threatened an additional 100% tariff on Chinese goods starting in November, a step he has described as unsustainable but that has heightened urgency for talks .&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rare-earth impact: Beijing's expanded curbs on rare-earth exports have exposed supply vulnerabilities because US high-tech firms rely heavily on those materials, raising strategic and economic stakes for the meeting .&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Work out a lot of our doubts and questions - President Trump&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Perspectives:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;President Trump: He said his first question to President Xi would be about fentanyl and indicated he hoped to resolve bilateral doubts and questions in the talks.

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] chore(aggregators): add configuration and deployment
 setup for Kagi aggregator

Adds all necessary configuration and deployment files:

Configuration:
- config.example.yaml: Example feed-to-community mappings
- .env.example: Environment variable template for credentials
- requirements.txt: Python dependencies (feedparser, bs4, requests, etc.)
- pytest.ini: Test configuration with coverage settings

Deployment:
- crontab: CRON schedule for daily feed fetching (1 PM UTC)
- README.md: Setup instructions, deployment guide, testing

Setup process:
1. Copy config.example.yaml to config.yaml and configure feeds
2. Set environment variables (AGGREGATOR_DID, credentials)
3. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Run tests: pytest
5. Deploy with docker-compose (planned for Phase 2)

Ready for integration testing with live Coves API.

+# Kagi News RSS Aggregator
+
+A Python-based RSS aggregator that posts Kagi News stories to Coves communities using rich text formatting.
+
+## Overview
+
+This aggregator:
+- Fetches RSS feeds from Kagi News daily via CRON
+- Parses HTML descriptions to extract structured content (highlights, perspectives, sources)
+- Formats posts using Coves rich text with facets (bold, italic, links)
+- Hot-links images from Kagi's proxy (no blob upload)
+- Posts to configured communities via XRPC
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```

+```
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.11+
+- python3-venv package (`apt install python3.12-venv`)
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Create virtual environment:
+   ```bash
+   python3 -m venv venv
+   source venv/bin/activate
+   ```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+3. Copy configuration templates:
+   ```bash
+   cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
+   cp .env.example .env
+   ```
+
+4. Edit `config.yaml` to map RSS feeds to communities
+5. Set environment variables in `.env` (aggregator DID and private key)
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Activate virtual environment
+source venv/bin/activate
+
+# Run all tests
+pytest -v
+
+# Run specific test file
+pytest tests/test_html_parser.py -v
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest --cov=src --cov-report=html
+```
+
+## Development Status
+
+### ✅ Phase 1-2 Complete (Oct 24, 2025)
+- [x] Project structure created
+- [x] Data models defined (KagiStory, Perspective, Quote, Source)
+- [x] RSS fetcher with retry logic and tests
+- [x] HTML parser extracting all sections (summary, highlights, perspectives, sources, quote, image)
+- [x] Test fixtures from real Kagi News feed
+
+### 🚧 Next Steps (Phase 3-4)
+- [ ] Rich text formatter (convert to Coves format with facets)
+- [ ] State manager for deduplication
+- [ ] Configuration loader
+- [ ] ATProto client for post creation
+- [ ] Main orchestration script
+- [ ] End-to-end tests
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit `config.yaml` to define feed-to-community mappings:
+
+```yaml
+coves_api_url: "https://api.coves.social"
+
+feeds:
+  - name: "World News"
+    url: "https://news.kagi.com/world.xml"
+    community_handle: "world-news.coves.social"
+    enabled: true
+
+  - name: "Tech News"
+    url: "https://news.kagi.com/tech.xml"
+    community_handle: "tech.coves.social"
+    enabled: true
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Data Flow
+
+```
+Kagi RSS Feed
+    ↓ (HTTP GET)
+RSS Fetcher
+    ↓ (feedparser)
+Parsed RSS Items
+    ↓ (for each item)
+HTML Parser
+    ↓ (BeautifulSoup)
+Structured KagiStory
+    ↓
+Rich Text Formatter
+    ↓ (with facets)
+Post Record
+    ↓ (XRPC)
+Coves Community
+```
+
+### Rich Text Format
+
+Posts use Coves rich text with UTF-8 byte-positioned facets:
+
+```python
+{
+  "content": "Summary text...\n\nHighlights:\n• Point 1\n...",
+  "facets": [
+    {
+      "index": {"byteStart": 20, "byteEnd": 31},
+      "features": [{"$type": "social.coves.richtext.facet#bold"}]
+    },
+    {
+      "index": {"byteStart": 50, "byteEnd": 75},
+      "features": [{"$type": "social.coves.richtext.facet#link", "uri": "https://..."}]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```

 **Update Frequency:** One daily update (~noon UTC)
 
+**Important Note on Domain Migration (October 2025):**
+Kagi migrated their RSS feeds from `kite.kagi.com` to `news.kagi.com`. The old domain now redirects (302) to the new domain, but for reliability, always use `news.kagi.com` directly in your feed URLs. Story links within the RSS feed still reference `kite.kagi.com` as permalinks.

+**✅ Verified Feed Structure:**
+Analysis of live Kagi News feeds confirms the following structure:
+- **Only 3 H3 sections:** Highlights, Perspectives, Sources (no other sections like Timeline or Historical Background)
+- **Historical context** is woven into the summary paragraph and highlights (not a separate section)
+- **Not all stories have all sections** - Quote (blockquote) and image are optional
+- **Feed contains everything shown on website** except for Timeline (which is a frontend-only feature)
+
 **Key Features:**
 - Multiple source citations inline
 - Balanced perspectives from different actors
-- Highlights extract key points
-- Direct quotes preserved
+- Highlights extract key points with historical context
+- Direct quotes preserved (when available)
 - All sources linked with attribution
+- Images from Kagi's proxy CDN

-## Community Configuration Examples
-
-### Example 1: World News Community
-
-```json
-{
-  "aggregatorDid": "did:web:kagi-news.coves.social",
-  "enabled": true,
-  "config": {
-    "categories": ["world"],
-    "minSources": 3,
-    "includeImages": true,
-    "postFormat": "full"
-  }
+  "createdAt": "2025-10-23T00:00:00Z"
 }
 ```
 
-**Result:** Posts all world news stories with 3+ sources, full content including images/highlights/perspectives.
+**Note:** The MVP implementation uses a simpler configuration model. Feed-to-community mappings are defined in the aggregator's own config file rather than per-community configuration. This allows one aggregator instance to post to multiple communities.
 
 ---
 
-### Example 2: AI/Tech Community (Filtered)
+## Aggregator Configuration (MVP)
 
-```json
-{
-  "aggregatorDid": "did:web:kagi-news.coves.social",
-  "enabled": true,
-  "config": {
-    "categories": ["tech", "business"],
-    "subcategoryFilter": ["Tech/AI", "Tech/Machine Learning", "Business/Tech Industry"],
-    "minSources": 2,
-    "includeImages": true,
-    "postFormat": "full"
-  }
-}
-```
+The MVP uses a simplified configuration model where the aggregator service defines feed-to-community mappings in its own config file.
 
-**Result:** Only posts tech stories about AI/ML or tech industry business news with 2+ sources.
+### Configuration File: `config.yaml`

+    enabled: false  # Can be disabled without removing
+
+# Scheduling
+check_interval: "24h"  # Run once daily
+
+# Logging
+log_level: "info"
 ```
 
-**Result:** Only major stories (5+ sources), minimal format (headline + link), no images.
+**Key Decisions:**
+- Uses **community handles** (not DIDs) for easier configuration - resolved at runtime
+- One aggregator can post to multiple communities
+- Feed mappings managed in aggregator config (not per-community config)
+- No complex filtering logic in MVP - one feed = one community

-### Content Formatting by `postFormat`
+### Content Formatting (MVP: "Full" Format Only)

-```markdown
+**Plain Text Structure:**
+```
 {Main summary paragraph with source citations}
 
-**Highlights:**
+Highlights:
 • {Bullet point 1}

-**Sources:**
-• [{Title}]({url}) - {domain}

+- **Bold** on perspective actors
+- **Italic** (`social.coves.richtext.facet#italic`) on quotes

-**Libraries:**
-- `github.com/PuerkitoBio/goquery` - HTML parsing
+**Parsing Strategy:**
+- Use BeautifulSoup to parse HTML description
+- Extract sections by finding `<h3>` tags (Highlights, Perspectives, Sources)
+- Handle missing sections gracefully (not all stories have all sections)
+- Clean and normalize text
 
----
+**Implementation Status:**
+- ✅ Extracts all 3 H3 sections (Highlights, Perspectives, Sources)
+- ✅ Handles optional elements (quote, image)
+- ✅ Tests passing (8 tests)
+- ✅ Validates against real feed data

+- `update_last_run(feed_url: str, timestamp: datetime)`
 
-CREATE INDEX idx_kagi_posted_at ON kagi_news_posted_stories(posted_at DESC);
-```
+**Deduplication Strategy:**
+- Keep last 100 GUIDs per feed (rolling window)
+- Stories older than 30 days are automatically removed
+- Simple, no database needed
 
-**Cleanup:** Periodic job deletes rows older than 30 days (Kagi unlikely to re-post old stories).
+**Implementation Status:**
+- ✅ JSON-based persistence with atomic writes
+- ✅ GUID tracking with rolling window
+- ✅ Tests passing (12 tests)
+- ✅ Thread-safe operations

+### Main Orchestration (`main.py`) ✅ COMPLETE
+
+**Responsibility:** Coordinate all components in a single execution (called by CRON)
+
+**Flow (Single Run):**
+1. Load configuration from `config.yaml`
+2. Load environment variables (AGGREGATOR_DID, AGGREGATOR_PRIVATE_KEY)
+3. Initialize all components (fetcher, parser, formatter, client, state)
+4. For each enabled feed in config:
+   a. Fetch RSS feed
+   b. Parse all items
+   c. Filter out already-posted items (check state)
+   d. For each new item:
+      - Parse HTML to structured KagiStory
+      - Format post content with rich text facets
+      - Build post record (with hot-linked image if present)
+      - Create post via XRPC
+      - Mark as posted in state
+   e. Update last run timestamp
+5. Save state to disk
+6. Log summary (posts created, errors encountered)
+7. Exit (CRON will call again on schedule)
+
+**Error Isolation:**
+- Feed-level: One feed failing doesn't stop others
+- Item-level: One item failing doesn't stop feed processing
+- Continue on non-fatal errors, log all failures
+- Exit code 0 even with partial failures (CRON won't alert)
+- Exit code 1 only on catastrophic failure (config missing, auth failure)
+
+**Implementation Status:**
+- ✅ Complete orchestration logic implemented
+- ✅ Feed-level and item-level error isolation
+- ✅ Structured logging throughout
+- ✅ Tests passing (9 tests covering various scenarios)
+- ✅ Dry-run mode for testing

-## Image Handling Strategy
+## Deployment (Docker Compose with CRON)
 
-### Initial Implementation (MVP)
+### Dockerfile
 
-**Approach:** Use Kagi proxy URLs directly in embeds
+```dockerfile
+FROM python:3.11-slim
 
-**Rationale:**
-- Simplest implementation
-- Kagi proxy likely allows hotlinking for non-commercial use
-- No storage costs
-- Images are already optimized by Kagi
-
-**Risk Mitigation:**
-- Monitor for broken images
-- Add fallback: if image fails to load, skip embed
-- Prepare migration plan to self-hosting if needed
-
-**Code:**
-```go
-if config["includeImages"].(bool) && story.ImageURL != "" {
-    // Use Kagi proxy URL directly
-    embed = &aggregator.Embed{
-        External: &aggregator.External{
-            Thumb: story.ImageURL, // https://kagiproxy.com/img/...
-        },
-    }
-}
-```
+WORKDIR /app
 
----
+# Install cron
+RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y cron && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
 
-### Future Enhancement (If Issues Arise)
+# Install dependencies
+COPY requirements.txt .
+RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
 
-**Approach:** Download and re-host images
+# Copy source code and scripts
+COPY src/ ./src/
+COPY scripts/ ./scripts/
+COPY crontab /etc/cron.d/kagi-news-cron
 
-**Implementation:**
-1. Download image from Kagi proxy
-2. Upload to Coves blob storage (or S3/CDN)
-3. Use blob reference in embed
+# Set up cron
+RUN chmod 0644 /etc/cron.d/kagi-news-cron && \
+    crontab /etc/cron.d/kagi-news-cron && \
+    touch /var/log/cron.log
 
-**Code:**
-```go
-func (p *PostPublisher) uploadImage(imageURL string) (string, error) {
-    // Download from Kagi proxy
-    resp, err := http.Get(imageURL)
-    if err != nil {
-        return "", err
-    }
-    defer resp.Body.Close()
+# Create non-root user for security
+RUN useradd --create-home appuser && \
+    chown -R appuser:appuser /app && \
+    chown appuser:appuser /var/log/cron.log
 
-    // Upload to blob storage
-    blob, err := p.blobStore.Upload(resp.Body, resp.Header.Get("Content-Type"))
-    if err != nil {
-        return "", err
-    }
+USER appuser
 
-    return blob.Ref, nil
-}
+# Run cron in foreground
+CMD ["cron", "-f"]
 ```
 
-**Decision Point:** Only implement if:
-- Kagi blocks hotlinking
-- Kagi proxy becomes unreliable
-- Legal clarification needed
-
----
+### Crontab Configuration (`crontab`)
 
-## Rate Limiting & Performance
-
-### Rate Limits
-
-**RSS Fetching:**
-- Poll each category feed every 15 minutes
-- Max 4 categories = 4 requests per 15 min = 16 req/hour
-- Well within any reasonable limit
+```bash
+# Run Kagi News aggregator daily at 1 PM UTC (after Kagi updates around noon)
+0 13 * * * cd /app && /usr/local/bin/python -m src.main >> /var/log/cron.log 2>&1
 
-**Post Creation:**
-- Aggregator rate limit: 10 posts/hour per community
-- Global limit: 100 posts/hour across all communities
-- Kagi News publishes ~5-10 stories per category per day
-- = ~20-40 posts/day total across all categories
-- = ~2-4 posts/hour average
-- Well within limits
-
-**Performance Targets:**
-- Story posted within 15 minutes of appearing in RSS feed
-- < 1 second to parse and format a story
-- < 500ms to publish a post via API
+# Blank line required at end of crontab
+```

-**Log Levels:**
-- DEBUG: Feed items, parsing details
-- INFO: Stories posted, communities targeted
-- WARN: Parse errors, rate limit approaching
-- ERROR: Failed posts, feed fetch failures
-
 ---
 
-### Alerts
-
-**Critical:**
-- Feed polling failing for > 1 hour
-- Post creation failing for > 10 consecutive attempts
-- Aggregator unauthorized (auth record disabled/deleted)
+## Image Handling Strategy (MVP)
 
-**Warning:**
-- Post creation rate < 50% of expected
-- Parse errors > 10% of items
-- Approaching rate limits (> 80% of quota)
+### Approach: Hot-Linked Images via External Embed
 
----
+The MVP uses hot-linked images from Kagi's proxy:
 
-## Deployment
+**Flow:**
+1. Extract image URL from HTML description (`https://kagiproxy.com/img/...`)
+2. Include in post using `social.coves.embed.external`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "$type": "social.coves.embed.external",
+     "external": {
+       "uri": "{Kagi story URL}",
+       "title": "{Story title}",
+       "description": "{Summary excerpt}",
+       "thumb": "{Kagi proxy image URL}"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+3. Frontend renders image from Kagi proxy URL
 
-### Infrastructure
-
-**Service Type:** Long-running daemon
-
-**Hosting:** Kubernetes (same cluster as Coves AppView)
+**Rationale:**
+- Simpler MVP implementation (no blob upload complexity)
+- No storage requirements on our end
+- Kagi proxy is reliable and CDN-backed
+- Faster posting (no download/upload step)
+- Images already properly sized and optimized
 
-**Resources:**
-- CPU: 0.5 cores (low CPU usage, mostly I/O)
-- Memory: 512 MB (small in-memory cache for recent GUIDs)
-- Storage: 1 GB (SQLite for deduplication tracking)
+**Future Consideration:** If Kagi proxy becomes unreliable, migrate to blob storage in Phase 2.

+## Logging & Observability (MVP)
 
-## Testing Strategy
+### Structured Logging
 
-### Unit Tests
+**Python logging module** with JSON formatter:
 
-**Feed Parsing:**
-```go
-func TestParseFeed(t *testing.T) {
-    feed := loadTestFeed("testdata/world.xml")
-    stories, err := parser.Parse(feed)
-    assert.NoError(t, err)
-    assert.Len(t, stories, 10)
+```python
+import logging
+import json
 
-    story := stories[0]
-    assert.NotEmpty(t, story.Title)
-    assert.NotEmpty(t, story.Summary)
-    assert.Greater(t, len(story.Sources), 1)
-}
+logging.basicConfig(
+    level=logging.INFO,
+    format='%(message)s'
+)
 
-func TestParseStoryHTML(t *testing.T) {
-    html := `<p>Summary [source.com#1]</p>
-             <h3>Highlights:</h3>
-             <ul><li>Point 1</li></ul>
-             <h3>Sources:</h3>
-             <ul><li><a href="https://example.com">Title</a> - example.com</li></ul>`
-
-    story, err := parser.ParseHTML(html)
-    assert.NoError(t, err)
-    assert.Equal(t, "Summary [source.com#1]", story.Summary)
-    assert.Len(t, story.Highlights, 1)
-    assert.Len(t, story.Sources, 1)
-}
+logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+
+# Example structured log
+logger.info(json.dumps({
+    "event": "post_created",
+    "feed": "world.xml",
+    "story_title": "Breaking News...",
+    "community": "world-news.coves.social",
+    "post_uri": "at://...",
+    "timestamp": "2025-10-23T12:00:00Z"
+}))
 ```
 
-**Formatting:**
-```go
-func TestFormatFull(t *testing.T) {
-    story := &KagiStory{
-        Summary: "Test summary",
-        Sources: []Source{
-            {Title: "Article", URL: "https://example.com", Domain: "example.com"},
-        },
-    }
+**Key Events to Log:**
+- `feed_fetched`: RSS feed successfully fetched
+- `story_parsed`: Story successfully parsed from HTML
+- `post_created`: Post successfully created
+- `error`: Any failures (with context)
+- `run_completed`: Summary of entire run
 
-    content := formatter.Format(story, "full")
-    assert.Contains(t, content, "Test summary")
-    assert.Contains(t, content, "**Sources:**")
-    assert.Contains(t, content, "📰 Story aggregated by")
-}
-```
+**Log Levels:**
+- INFO: Successful operations
+- WARNING: Retryable errors, skipped items
+- ERROR: Fatal errors, failed posts
 
-**Deduplication:**
-```go
-func TestDeduplication(t *testing.T) {
-    guid := "test-guid-123"
+### Simple Monitoring
 
-    posted, err := deduplicator.AlreadyPosted(guid)
-    assert.NoError(t, err)
-    assert.False(t, posted)
+**Health Check:** Check last successful run timestamp
+- If > 48 hours: alert (should run daily)
+- If errors > 50% of items: investigate
 
-    err = deduplicator.MarkPosted(guid, "at://...")
-    assert.NoError(t, err)
+**Metrics to Track (manually via logs):**
+- Posts created per run
+- Parse failures per run
+- Post creation failures per run
+- Total runtime
 
-    posted, err = deduplicator.AlreadyPosted(guid)
-    assert.NoError(t, err)
-    assert.True(t, posted)
-}
-```
+No complex metrics infrastructure needed for MVP - Docker logs are sufficient.

-    // Setup mock Coves API
-    mockAPI := httptest.NewServer(http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

-## Open Questions
+## Implementation Summary
 
-### Need to Resolve Before Launch
+**Phase 1 Status:** ✅ **COMPLETE**
 
-1. **Image Licensing:**
-   - ❓ Are images from Kagi proxy covered by CC BY-NC?
-   - ❓ Do we need to attribute original image sources?
-   - **Action:** Email support@kagi.com for clarification
+The Kagi News RSS Aggregator implementation is complete and ready for integration testing and deployment. All 7 core components have been implemented with comprehensive test coverage (57 tests, 83% coverage).
 
-2. **Hotlinking Policy:**
-   - ❓ Is embedding Kagi proxy images acceptable?
-   - ❓ Should we download and re-host?
-   - **Action:** Test in staging, monitor for issues
+**What Was Built:**
+- Complete RSS feed fetching and parsing pipeline
+- HTML parser that extracts all structured data from Kagi News feeds (summary, highlights, perspectives, quote, sources)
+- Rich text formatter with proper facets for Coves
+- State management system for deduplication
+- Configuration management with YAML and environment variables
+- HTTP client for Coves API authentication and post creation
+- Main orchestrator with robust error handling
+- Comprehensive test suite with real feed fixtures
+- Documentation and example configurations
 
-3. **Category Discovery:**
-   - ❓ How to discover all available category feeds?
-   - ❓ Are there categories beyond world/tech/business/sports?
-   - **Action:** Scrape https://news.kagi.com/ for all .xml links
+**Key Findings:**
+- Kagi News RSS feeds contain only 3 structured sections (Highlights, Perspectives, Sources)
+- Historical context is woven into the summary and highlights, not a separate section
+- Timeline feature visible on Kagi website is not in the RSS feed
+- All essential data for rich posts is available in the feed
+- Feed structure is stable and well-formed
 
-4. **Attribution Format:**
-   - ❓ Is "📰 Story aggregated by Kagi News" sufficient?
-   - ❓ Do we need more prominent attribution?
-   - **Action:** Review CC BY-NC best practices
+**Next Phase:**
+Integration testing with live Coves API, followed by alpha deployment to test communities.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] docs(communities): add blob upload proxy system design

Adds design documentation for blob upload proxy system to enable
image/video posts in communities from external PDS users.

Problem:
Users on external PDSs cannot directly upload blobs to community-owned
PDS repositories because they lack authentication credentials for the
community's PDS.

Solution:
Coves AppView acts as an authenticated proxy for blob uploads via
social.coves.blob.uploadForCommunity endpoint.

Flow:
1. User uploads blob to AppView
2. AppView validates user can post to community
3. AppView uses community's PDS credentials to upload blob
4. AppView returns CID to user
5. User creates post record referencing the CID
6. Post and blob both live in community's PDS

Status: Design documented, implementation TODO
Priority: CRITICAL for Beta - Required for rich media posts

Implementation checklist includes:
- Handler endpoint
- User authorization validation
- Community credential management
- Upload proxy logic
- Security measures (size limits, content-type validation, rate limiting)

+### Blob Upload Proxy System
+**Status:** Design documented, implementation TODO
+**Priority:** CRITICAL for Beta - Required for image/video posts in communities
+
+**Problem:** Users on external PDSs cannot directly upload blobs to community-owned PDS repositories because they lack authentication credentials for the community's PDS.
+
+**Solution:** Coves AppView acts as an authenticated proxy for blob uploads:
+
+**Flow:**
+1. User uploads blob to Coves AppView via `social.coves.blob.uploadForCommunity`
+2. AppView validates user can post to community (not banned, community accessible)
+3. AppView uses community's PDS credentials to upload blob via `com.atproto.repo.uploadBlob`
+4. AppView returns CID to user
+5. User creates post record referencing the CID
+6. Post and blob both live in community's PDS
+
+**Implementation Checklist:**
+- [ ] Handler: `social.coves.blob.uploadForCommunity` endpoint
+- [ ] Validation: Check user authorization to post in community
+- [ ] Credential Management: Reuse community token refresh logic
+- [ ] Upload Proxy: Forward blob to community's PDS with community credentials
+- [ ] Security: Size limits, content-type validation, rate limiting
+- [ ] Testing: E2E test with federated user uploading to community
+
+**Why This Approach:**
+- ✅ Works with federated users (any PDS)
+- ✅ Reuses existing community credential infrastructure
+- ✅ Matches V2 architecture (AppView orchestrates, communities own data)
+- ✅ Blobs stored on correct PDS (community's repository)
+- ❌ AppView becomes upload intermediary (bandwidth cost)
+
+**Alternative Considered:** Direct user uploads to community PDS
+- Rejected: Would require creating temporary user accounts on every community PDS (complex, insecure)
+
+**See:** Design discussion in context of ATProto blob architecture
