- Add LiteLLMClient for connecting to LiteLLM proxy gateways
- Support model listing, chat completions, and news analysis
- Use environment variables for API configuration (no hardcoded keys)
- Add comprehensive README with usage examples and workflow guide
- Update .env.example with LiteLLM configuration

Supported features:
- Async/await API with httpx
- 28+ models including GPT-5 series
- Multi-platform opinion research workflow
Fix type mismatch between MediaCrawler model (int) and PostgreSQL schema
(VARCHAR) for timestamp fields:
- created_time
- updated_time
- publish_time

This prevents "invalid input for query argument" errors when crawling
Zhihu content and storing to PostgreSQL database.
- Add null checks in get_video_url_arr() for missing video fields
- Add int() type casting for numeric fields in update_xhs_note_comment()
  (sub_comment_count, like_count, parent_comment_id)
- Add tracking_models.py for keyword tracking schema
- Update config for PostgreSQL and session persistence settings
Lower the HackerNews network variance check from 30ms to 20ms to reduce
flaky test failures due to network response time fluctuations.
