Add audio intro/outro and comprehensive tests

- Enhanced Worker.py to extract publication date and author from
articles - Added intro TTS with metadata (title, author, publication
date) - Added outro TTS with attribution - Combined intro, pauses,
content, and outro in Worker.py - Added comprehensive tests for public
feed, deduplication, metrics, and intro/outro

All tests passing (Worker: 30 tests, Web: 43 tests)

Tasks completed: - t-gcNemK: Extract metadata in Worker.py - t-gcPraJ:
Add intro TTS generation - t-gcRCzw: Add outro TTS generation -
t-gcTPQn: Combine audio segments - t-gcW6zN: Tests for public feed
- t-gdlWtu: Tests for deduplication - t-gdoeYo: Tests for metrics
tracking - t-gdqsl7: Tests for audio intro/outro
