✨ Key Features & Highlights

• 🚀 Zero-Config Fallback: Works immediately out of the box without requiring Reddit API keys (seamless fallback to DuckDuckGo & Arctic Shift archive).
• 🛡️ Resilient Rate Limiting: Built-in exponential backoff and automatic handling of 429 Too Many Requests (respecting Retry-After headers).
• 🤖 Smart LLM Comment Filtering: Filters out bots, AutoModerator notices, and low-effort comments to conserve LLM token limits.
• ⏱️ LLM Timeout Protection: Decorator-enforced execution limits preventing AI clients from hanging or disconnecting.
• 🏗️ 4-Layer Architecture: Clean separation of concerns (Domain, Infrastructure, Application, Interface) for maximum modularity and testability.
