Writing 82 derived feeds into a hand-edited config.toml made it
unreadable. The OPML is the source of truth, so its feeds are re-derived
each scan and held in the database, inheriting the subscription's
settings; editing one promotes it to a real entry. A migration moves
existing children out -- 611 lines to 38 -- keeping all entries and files.
max_new_per_check defaulted to unlimited, so subscribing to an OPML of 82
feeds pulled whole back catalogues. It now defaults to 3 via [general],
capping every feed that does not set its own, and the pending queue orders
by publish date so a cap of 3 means the three newest.
Scans and downloads travelled as socket events only, so the log view
showed no daemon activity. They are mirrored into tracing, with routine
skips at debug -- at 82 feeds those alone would flush the buffer.
