+   # Building the Backend
+
+   The backend targets **Java 17**. The build uses a Maven toolchain to compile
+   and test on JDK 17 regardless of the JVM Maven itself runs under (e.g.
+   Homebrew's Maven bundles a newer JDK). This requires a one-time, machine-local
+   `~/.m2/toolchains.xml` registering a JDK 17 install, for example:
+
+   ```xml
+   <toolchains xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/TOOLCHAINS/1.1.0">
+     <toolchain>
+       <type>jdk</type>
+       <provides><version>17</version></provides>
+       <configuration>
+         <jdkHome>/path/to/your/jdk-17</jdkHome>
+       </configuration>
+     </toolchain>
+   </toolchains>
+   ```
+
+   Find your JDK 17 path with `/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17` (macOS). Without a
+   matching toolchain entry, the build fails with "No toolchain found".

+// WHAT THIS CLASS DOES
+// =============================================================================
+// RssFeedService fetches one or more RSS feeds on a schedule, converts each
+// entry into a NewsItem, classifies it by civic topic (housing, healthcare,
+// food, etc.), and holds the result in memory for the NewsController to serve
+// at GET /api/news/rss.
+//
+// It implements RssFeedSource so it can be swapped with a fake in tests
+// without needing Mockito on concrete classes.

+A filter stage is necessary before showing results.
+
+# Decision 004
+
+Two filesystem reads used relative paths hardcoded to the repo root:
+- ResourceService loaded `app/data/resources.json`
+- ResourceController listed `backend/src/main/resources/static/images/seasonal`
+
+This tied the app to being launched from the repo root and blocked deployment
+from any other working directory (e.g. a container).
+
+Conclusion:
+Made both paths configurable via `@Value` properties, keeping the original
+relative paths as defaults so existing behavior is unchanged:
+- `app.data.dir` (default `app/data`)
+- `app.seasonal.images.dir` (default `backend/src/main/resources/static/images/seasonal`)
+
+A different working directory now overrides these via env/properties without
+code changes. Chose `@Value` over `@ConfigurationProperties` to match the
+existing style (OllamaService already injects `ollama.api.url` via `@Value`).
