Document the News layer's own sources, keys and limits
DATA_SOURCES, the README's layer and key tables, CURRENT-STATE and the changelog describe the News layer as it now is: a configured news server, or Core's own reading of GDELT (no key), Liveuamap (optional) and World News API (Local, free plan backlink credited). .env.example gives the download sizes and the daily read budget; KNOWN-ISSUES lists what machine coding gets wrong and which disputed areas are named as themselves.
