Subject: [PATCH] fix: improve RSS feed error handling and debugging

- Add comprehensive error handling for RSS feed fetching
- Log detailed error messages and feed content preview
- Handle empty feeds gracefully instead of panicking
- Exit early if no entries found instead of continuing with empty list
