What Hn Rewrite does

Read {{arg1}} (either a file path or GitHub issue URL) and rewrite it in a technical, matter-of-fact style suitable for a discerning Hacker News audience.

**Input Detection:**

If {{arg1}} starts with http:// or https:// - fetch the URL content first using WebFetch
Otherwise, treat {{arg1}} as a file path and read the file

Apply these transformations:

Remove all emojis (🎉, ✅, 🚀, etc.)
Remove exclamation points - replace with periods or rephrase
**Eliminate bombastic
