📄 Description

Summary

Fixes #839

Three utilities in the beifong news/podcast multi-agent app accessed response.choices[0].message.content without first verifying that choices is non-empty and content is not None. This mirrors the same class of bug fixed in PR #820 for DeepSeek API responses.

Affected files:

processors/ai_analysis_processor.py — article analysis with GPT-4o
utils/translate_podcast.py — podcast translation with GPT-4o
utils/get_articles.py — search term extraction with GPT-4o-mini

Root cause: OpenAI can return an empty choices list or None content when a content filter is triggered, a quota is exceeded, or a transient API error occurs. Without a guard, this crashes with IndexError or passes None to json.loads().

Fix: Add an explicit guard before accessing choices[0].message.content in all three files, raising a descriptive ValueError that propagates cleanly to the surrounding except block already present in each function.

Test plan

Verify normal API responses still parse correctly
Verify the ValueError is raised (and caught by the outer except Exception) when choices is empty or content is None
