RSS Troubleshooting

Feed stops emitting posts

• Auth required — feeds behind HTTP basic auth need credentials in the data JSON of the schedule. The default rss-parser config doesn't carry creds.
• Encoding — non-UTF-8 feeds are best transcoded upstream; the parser handles the common cases (Windows-1252, ISO-8859-9) but isn't exhaustive.
• Parse errors — malformed XML kills the parser. The schedule's last error is stored in stats.

Items posting twice

Deduplication uses the entry GUID. If the source feed mutates GUIDs between updates, dedup breaks. Lock the GUID upstream or filter by <link> instead — see the per-feed data JSON for the hash strategy.

Items not posting at all

Verify:

1. The feed actually has new entries (check stats).
2. The schedule's accounts are still valid channels (they may have been disconnected).
3. The workspace's plan still has the posts.rss feature.
