  AUTO-GENERATED by automation/regen_feed.py — do not hand-edit, it will be
  overwritten on the next run (weekly via launchd, see
  automation/scheduler/com.counterweightdispatch.feed.plist). Newsletter items
  are pulled live from Ghost's own feed; article items are scanned from
  site/news/*/index.html. Re-run the script manually after publishing anything
  new if you don't want to wait for the weekly job.
