Steve Krouse Essay Notifier

Emails you when https://stevekrouse.com/ publishes a new essay.

How it works

A cron run fetches the homepage and parses the Essays section.
It stores the latest essay ID in Val Town Blob Storage (steve_krouse_latest_essay_v1).
It only sends an email when the top essay changes.

Behavior notes

First run initializes state and does not send an email.
Subsequent runs send one email per newly detected essay.
This val is cron-only (no manual HTTP trigger).
