- add xiaohongshu/xhs source path via xiaohongshu-mcp HTTP API\n- add Reddit public JSON fallback when OpenAI auth is unavailable\n- update diagnostics/UI rendering for new source availability states\n- harden Xiaohongshu availability probe to reduce false negatives\n- include source status reporting for Xiaohongshu
