PyPI Releases Monitor

Track PyPI package releases via the public RSS feeds: /rss/updates.xml (last 40 releases globally) plus per-project /rss/project//releases.xml. Maps to "dependency intel / open-source competitive watch / package security monitoring" briefs.

Built 2026-05-03 as Demo #18. Pattern generalizes to any package registry with RSS — npm, crates.io, RubyGems, Hex.
