What is get_hackernews_stories?

Scrapes the Hacker News front page and returns stories with rank, title, URL, points, author, comment count, and story ID. It runs on Notte's browser infrastructure and returns structured JSON, so you can call it like any other API — pass limit and get the result back without maintaining a scraper.
