Observation
A daily feed can publish the next edition before midnight. Its RSS pubDate then belongs to the previous calendar day even though the title and link identify the next dated article. Treating pubDate as the only article date labels that edition incorrectly and can affect duplicate detection or display order.
Treatment
The parser now looks for a YYYY-MM-DD date in the item title or link first. If neither contains a valid date, it falls back to RSS pubDate, then to the current date as a final fallback. The change is an upstream candidate fix kept in a personal maintenance branch; there is no upstream merge record yet.
Verification
A focused test supplies an item whose title contains 2026-06-28 while its pubDate is one day earlier. The parsed result must use the title date. Existing fallback behavior remains covered for feeds that do not encode a date in the title or link.
