Hackernews top stories local digest

Reads the Hacker News front page in a headless browser, fetches each top story's article with curl, and produces per-story summaries plus a themes-of-the-day synthesis using a local LM Studio model. Client-rendered pages are reported as unfetchable rather than guessed at.

Credential values and current readiness remain local. Opening this page never prompts for a credential, opens an authorization browser, or calls a service this play uses.

A play is a published, versioned automation package that runs on your own machine through rote, a free command-line tool. Opening this page installs nothing and runs nothing.
