A CLI tool to aggregate RSS feeds and summarise them with LLMs 

feat: add --stdin flag to read RSS/Atom feed from standard input

- Add `--stdin` flag to read a single RSS/Atom feed directly from stdin
  - Composability with `-f/--feeds-file` to collate articles from both
    sources
  - Stdin articles appear before feeds-file articles in collated output
  - Support environment variable `LLM_AGGREGATOR_STDIN`
- Make `--feeds-file` no longer required; require either `--feeds-file`
  or `--stdin`
- Add `ParseFeedFromReader` and `ParseFeedFromStdin` methods to
  `FeedAggregator`
  - `ParseFeedFromStdin` reads from `os.Stdin`, logs source as "stdin"
  - `ParseFeedFromReader` accepts any `io.Reader` for unit testing
- Refactor `ParseFeedsFromFile` to delegate to a shared
  `parseFeedsFromReader` method
- Update `cmd/llm_aggregator.go` and `internal/runtime/runtime.go` to
  route feed sources
  - Handle three cases: stdin only, feeds file only, both (collated)
  - Return clear error when neither source is provided
- Update `internal/cli/args.go` to make `--feeds-file` optional and add
  `--stdin`
- Extend `internal/config/config.go` to map `stdin` from CLI and
  environment
- Add comprehensive tests:
  - `TestParseFeedFromReader` for RSS and Atom feeds
  - `TestParseFeedFromReaderMalformed` for error handling
  - `TestParseFeedFromStdin` using pipe redirection
- Update documentation:
  - `README.md` with usage examples and environment variable
  - `docs/llm_aggregator.1` with `--stdin` flag and feed input section
  - `CHANGELOG.md` for version 0.13.0
  - Built-in `--help` examples and help sections
- Clean up `go.mod` and `go.sum` by removing unused indirect
  dependencies
  - Remove `charmbracelet/glamour`, `muesli/reflow`, `golang.org/x/term`
    etc.

+## [0.13.0] - 2026-04-26
+
+### Added
+
+- **`--stdin` flag**: Read raw RSS/Atom XML directly from standard input,
+  composable with `-f/--feeds-file` to collate articles from both sources into
+  a single LLM summary. Stdin articles appear before feeds-file articles in the
+  collated output.
+  - `curl -s $URL | llm_aggregator --stdin -p "Summarise"`
+  - `llm_aggregator -f feeds.txt --stdin -p "Summarise all"`
+  - Environment variable: `LLM_AGGREGATOR_STDIN`
+- **`--feeds-file` is no longer required**: Either `--feeds-file` or `--stdin`
+  (or both) must be provided. A clear error is returned if neither is specified.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Refactored `ParseFeedsFromFile` to delegate to a new `ParseFeedFromReader`
+  method that accepts any `io.Reader`, enabling both stdin and unit test usage
+  with `strings.Reader`.
