external-intel-provider-rollout

What problem does it solve?

Replaces mock intel providers with live external adapters and keeps the scheduler, status, tests, and docs aligned so teams can validate and roll out real data sources safely.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Replace mock intel providers with live external adapters while preserving existing scheduler semantics, status reporting, and test coverage.
• Normalize external data to the bot's internal shapes NewsItem, Quote, and EodSummary and maintain a consistent contract across news_briefing, eod_summary, and watch_poll.
• Use for env-var driven rollout validation, provider interoperability checks, and documentation alignment during a live integration.

Quick Start

Read the external intel API specs and contextual goals, inspect the current provider interface, identify the in-scope path (news_briefing, eod_summary, or watch_poll), and implement the smallest live-change that preserves scheduler behavior.
