Watch out for

Large newsletters may exceed token limits so you must implement a robust chunking strategy that preserves context boundaries.
HTML parsing can fail on malformed emails so add error handling to fallback to raw text extraction if cleaning fails.
Gemini API rate limits might delay the briefing so include exponential backoff logic in your code block to handle throttling gracefully.
Email attachments are not processed by default so explicitly instruct users to forward only text-based newsletters or strip attachment references.
