# Daily Feed Summary — Known Limitations

Repository file: `/root/.hermes/scripts/daily-feed-summary.py`
Cron job: `daily-tech-digest` (11:00 daily via Hermes cron)

## Broken Sources

### Top Gear (`topgear.com/car-news`)
- **Status:** [BROKEN] Scraping returns 0 articles
- **Symptom:** The `TGLinkParser` finds no matching `<a href="/car-news/">` elements
- **Likely cause:** Site structure changed — Top Gear uses a JS-heavy frontend (Next.js or similar) that renders article links dynamically. The current parser relies on finding `<a href="/car-news/...">` with a `title` attribute in the initial HTML, which no longer exists
- **Impact:** Minor — Top Gear returns 0 articles silently. The digest continues without error
- **Discovered:** Jul 6, 2026 (first documented failure)
- **Fix required:** Switch to headless browser scraping (Playwright) or use an RSS/compat feed if available. LATER: Monitor if Top Gear adds RSS

## Python Dependencies

The script needs `feedparser` in the Hermes venv. See the SKILL.md "Hermes Cron Script Dependencies" section for install patterns.
