Feed Sync

App version

0.16.2

Reproduction steps

The following RSS feed works fine within my Feeder app but here shows as an site. https://feeds.mcclatchy.com/modbee/stories

Disclaimer: not sure if the error code below has anything to do with this.

Research direction

Start with LocalRssService.kt:293 and reproduce the issue using https://feeds.mcclatchy.com/modbee/stories. Trace the feed-sync path around the reported NullPointerException and compare the feed's handling with the expected RSS behavior. Done means the local newspaper feed is recognized and added as a feed rather than shown as a site, without the reported error.
