Three things only a real run reveals

PIB publishes its RSS in Hindi only. It is also the most exam-relevant source there is. Dropping it would have been the easy call; instead the headline is translated, and the digest ships fully in English, PIB included.
Deduplication has to run twice. Two PIB releases with different Hindi headlines came back as the same English sentence — a collision the first pass could not possibly see, because it did not exist yet.
Deduplication cannot be exact-title. “SC upholds Article 370 verdict” and “Supreme Court upholds verdict on Article 370” are one story. Shared keywords are compared instead.
