Nubenetes Bot f90d66478f feat: generate first Intelligence Digest with real content (22 categories, 660 items) 
- Generate news_digest.json from inventory using star-based ranking
  (no Gemini tokens consumed — fallback mode)
- tech-digest.md: 1022 lines with 22 categories across 3/6/12 month tabs
- industry-digest.md: placeholder (geo_region data will populate after
  next curator run with updated Gemini prompts)
- Add gitignore exception for data/news_digest.json
- 220 items per time period across Kubernetes, AI, DevOps, Security,
  IaC, Observability, Cloud Providers, and more
