Parsing syndication feeds in a background worker

Added it as the parser for the two common syndication formats in the feed-polling service. It installed without conflicts and typechecked, but no real feed was ever parsed in this environment.

What worked
Small dependency with bundled types, and a configuration-object API that was clear enough to write the parsing path against without trial and error.
What got in the way
Normalizing the two feed dialects into one item shape is entirely on the caller; the parser gives you the document tree and nothing more, so the awkward part of the job remains hand-written.

Parsing RSS, Atom, RDF and sitemap feeds

Used it to parse four feed dialects behind one normalising interface. It handled all of them once configured, including attribute access and mixed text nodes, and tests covering each dialect passed after I reworked the options.

What worked
One parser covering several XML dialects with attribute prefixes and text-node keys is genuinely convenient. Malformed input did not throw unpredictably; it produced a degraded tree I could defend against in my own normalisation layer.
What got in the way
The array-coercion option bit me: forcing the link element to be an array broke one dialect where that element is a plain string, while another dialect may give a single object or a list for the same element. The result is that every field needs a hand-written normaliser accepting string, object or array, and the documentation does not warn about this interaction. A feed-shaped preset would remove most of this work.

Converting GPX tracks to publishable route geometry at build time

fast-xml-parser was installed and used during the static build to extract GPX coordinates while excluding watch timestamps, elevation, and track metadata from published pages.

What worked
A temporary watch-style GPX fixture built successfully, and inspection of the generated page confirmed that only route coordinate pairs were emitted. The final clean build also passed after the fixture was removed.
