news-cycle.timer runs poll then notify every 15 minutes; news-digest.timer runs the briefing at 08:45 daily. Both enabled and verified: a manual cycle fetched 1047 items, embedded 95 new ones and clustered them in 74s. Units are installed as COPIES rather than symlinks. The previous service's units were symlinked into docs/projects/news/deploy/, and when that repo was renamed to news_triage they became dangling and the timer failed every ten minutes, unnoticed, until this rebuild found it. Copying costs a re-copy after editing; symlinking cost days of silent failure. Deliberate details: the poll ExecStart is `-` prefixed so a failed fetch does not skip notify; RandomizedDelaySec spreads polling off the quarter hour rather than hitting 56 sources at once; the digest is Persistent so a machine that was off at 08:45 still sends rather than skipping the day.
