- Instagram: migrate /v1/ to /v2/ ScrapeCreators endpoint (v1 deprecated Feb 2026)
- OpenAI: switch fallback chain to [gpt-5-mini, gpt-4.1-mini, gpt-4.1] (8x cheaper,
gpt-5-mini is the first mini model supporting web_search with filters.allowed_domains)
- xAI: use explicit grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning (bare name aliases to reasoning variant)
- xAI: pass from_date/to_date natively to x_search tool config instead of prompt-only
- Polymarket: correct rate limit comment (15K/10s, not 350/10s)
- Refactor run_research() to use ThreadPoolExecutor for parallel execution
- Reddit timeout/crash no longer blocks X search from running
- Add catch for ConnectionResetError/OSError in http.py
- Per-item error handling in Reddit enrichment (one failure doesn't crash all)
- Increase API timeouts from 60/90/120 to 90/120/180 seconds
- Add ClawdBot setup example to README

- quick: 8-12 sources each, faster response
- default: 20-30 sources each (unchanged behavior)
- deep: 50-70 Reddit, 40-60 X for comprehensive research
Adjusts API timeouts based on depth. Cache keys include depth
so different depths are cached separately.
