169 |
| - |
170 |
| -### Streaming Updates (SSE) |
171 |
| - |
172 |
| -* The frontend subscribes to `/stream` via EventSource. |
173 |

| - |
175 |
| -### Trending Topics |
176 |
| - |

| - |
180 |
| -### Podbean Publishing |
181 |
| - |
182 |
| -* After audio is ready, enter a prompt like `Post this podcast to Podbean`. |
183 |
| -* The client detects `podbean` intent and calls `/api/podbean/publish` via Beacon or `fetch`. |
