orf-digest
On-demand ORF news digest in German. Use when the user says 'orf', 'pull orf', or 'orf 10'. Focus on Austrian politics (Inland) and international politics (Ausland) + major headlines; exclude sports. Send each item as its own message (Title + Age + Link). Then generate a Nano Banana image in a cartoon ZiB studio with the anchor presenting the news, plus subtle Easter eggs based on the selected stories.
