Google Gemini Chat Model : Summarizing and translating release notes

Watch out for

RSS feeds may not update instantly so implement a small delay or check the last modified header to avoid missing recent releases.
Duplicate messages can occur if Redis keys expire too quickly, so set an appropriate TTL that matches your monitoring frequency.
Slack API rate limits can block the run, add exponential backoff for retry logic in case of 429 errors.
Long release notes might exceed token limits, so truncate or summarize aggressively before sending to Gemini.
