fix: Sunday digest failed — Gmail auth is blocking emails - #65

Conversation
SMTP 535 (bad GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD) was retried across all 17 batches with 6-minute pauses, so the weekly digest burned ~90 minutes and still delivered 0/510 emails. Abort on the first auth error, and keep the Telegram digest running even if Gmail fails. Co-authored-by: Ephraim Iyanda <iyandaephraim@gmail.com>

The Sunday digest did run today, but 0 of 510 emails were sent. I could not kick-start a real send from this agent (workflow dispatch returns 403, and this environment has no Gmail secrets).
What happened
0/510 deliveredSame SMTP 535 failure on last Sunday (Sep 6). Last successful scheduled digest: Aug 30. Telegram was also skipped because the Gmail step failed first, and GitHub Actions skips later steps by default.
The bot was not “down”.
GMAIL_APP_PASSWORDis being rejected, and each failure then waited ~90 minutes (17 batches × 6 min pause) before exiting.What you need to do to send today’s mail

Until that secret is rotated, any re-run will fail the same way.
