Step 3: feed fetch and parse

Conditional GET plus an RSS-first, Atom-fallback parser normalising both
into one entry model, with iTunes explicit and ttl handling carried over
from the Python. Enclosures are recorded as pending; nothing downloads yet.

GUID falls back guid -> link -> enclosure url -> title rather than hashing
the description as the original did.

+## 2026-09-09 — Step 3: feed.rs
+
+`src/feed.rs`: conditional GET (`If-None-Match` + `If-Modified-Since`, optional basic auth) and a
+RSS-first / Atom-fallback parser normalising both into `ParsedFeed`/`Entry`/`Enclosure`. Feed-level
+`itunes:explicit` overrides the entry level, as the original did. `<ttl>` is captured. RSS
+`content:encoded` wins over `description`. Atom enclosures come only from `rel="enclosure"` links.
+
+GUID: the original hashed the title or description when no guid existed; here the chain is
+guid → permalink → enclosure URL → title, all stable identifiers, so no hashing and no MD5
+dependency. An entry with none of them has nothing to download and is dropped.
+
+`db.rs` gained `http_state`, `record_feed`, `touch_feed`, `set_feed_error`, `record_entry`,
+`record_enclosure`. A changed title/description flips `read` back to 0 — what the original's
+textDiff was ultimately for, minus the `<ins>`/`<del>` markup, which belongs in the UI.
+
+`main.rs` gained `ipx fetch [FEED] [--force]`. A failing feed records its error and the scan
+continues.
+
+Verified: `cargo test` 10/10. Gate met against a local `python3 -m http.server` serving the
+fixtures — first run inserted 4 entries + 4 enclosures across an RSS and an Atom feed; second run
+showed both skip paths, `atomcast: not modified` (304) and `testcast: not due for 45m` (the feed's
+own ttl=45 beating `interval_mins = 0`).
+
+Deferred: nothing downloads yet — enclosure rows land in state `pending`. That is step 4.
+Next: step 4 — `download.rs`.
