Nubenetes Bot b5b3dc3ce2 fix: differentiate digest periods (10/15/20 items), fix year fallback, fix NoneType stars 
- Variable items per period: 3 months=10, 6 months=15, 12 months=20
  so each tab shows progressively more content
- Use year field as fallback in _is_within_period when discovered_at
  doesn't discriminate (backfilled entries)
- Fix NoneType comparison in _fallback_items for entries with null stars
- Regenerated digest: 3m=220, 6m=330, 12m=440 items across 22 categories
- tech-digest.md now 1353 lines with differentiated tabs (339/449/559 lines)
