Good

But.. some comments-
My news sources include daily items (New York Times, Boston Globe) and some monthly sources (PC Magazine, Smithsonian Magazine, etc.) So, there is not a single setting for the delete window that works for both.
I think that we need to rethink the objective a bit. Either we need to be able to set multiple windows such as daily for some sources, and monthly/weekly, etc. for others, or we need a different approach. For instance, if Calibre downloads Time Magazine once per week, Companion could detect that a new version (by date) is available, and sync that to the device and remove the older version as well. For me, I would only want one version at a time, but others may want the two most recent, etc. Thus from my perspective, comments are invited- and I hope that is OK with Chaley.
This is the reason that support for the cc_delete_after_N tag was added. I don't see any reasonable way to handle this in CC, and adding the tag in calibre is straightforward. With the changes I made in version C the value in CC is used only if there is no tag.

It is in the news source configuration. See the end of the prototype FAQ in post 2.
