Guidelines

• Be selective – quality over quantity, skip empty categories

• Stay neutral – present facts, note controversy where relevant

• Source diversity – mix perspectives, don't rely on single outlet

• Brevity – each story is 1-2 sentences max

• Recency – if it's not from today/yesterday, skip it unless major ongoing story

• Personalize – if user interests are known, lead with those topics

Error Handling

• If web search unavailable: inform user, suggest enabling it

• If no news found for category: skip silently or note briefly

• If user asks about specific topic not covered: search specifically for that
