Four fixes based on 2026-04-22 test-window feedback on v3.0.11 --competitors:
- Each competitor sub-run now runs Step 0.55 (X handle / subreddits /
GitHub) via resolve.auto_resolve inside the fanout closure. Deep-copied
config per entity prevents _auto_resolve_context leak across sub-runs.
Resolved data stored on report.artifacts["resolved"] for the renderer.
- New internal_subrun keyword on planner.plan_query and pipeline.run
suppresses the LAW 7 "No --plan passed" stderr for engine-internal
fan-out only. Default path unchanged.
- Default --competitors count is now 2 (3-way total). --competitors=N
still customizes; range 1..6.
- SKILL.md STEP 0 canonical-path self-check forces readers who loaded
from marketplaces/ (auto-restored to origin/main, stale) to re-read
from plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/{VERSION}/SKILL.md.
Two of three 2026-04-22 test windows hit this stale-path trap.
- New ## Resolved Entities block in render_comparison_multi shows
per-entity handles/subs/github for debug visibility.
Bumps plugin.json to 3.0.12. 12 new tests; 1,175 total passing.

Pass `--competitors` on a single-entity topic and the engine auto-discovers
2-6 peer entities via web search, runs the full pipeline on each in
parallel, and returns one N-way comparison reusing the existing 9-axis
Head-to-Head scaffold. `last30days OpenAI --competitors` resolves to
Anthropic + xAI + Google Gemini; `last30days Kanye West --competitors`
resolves to Drake + Kendrick Lamar + one more peer.
- New CLI flags: --competitors, --competitors=N, --competitors-list
- New scripts/lib/competitors.py — mirrors resolve.auto_resolve pattern
(web search + deterministic text extraction, no internal LLM)
- New scripts/lib/fanout.py — ThreadPoolExecutor orchestrator; per-entity
failures degrade gracefully as long as >=2 entities survive
- Multi-report render in scripts/lib/render.py reuses the comparison
scaffold for the synthesis table
- LAW 7-style stderr when no backend and no list, pointing the hosting
reasoning model at --competitors-list
- 38 new tests across CLI parsing, discovery, fanout, and rendering

Adds docs/releases/v3.0.9.md as the GitHub Release body and appends
the matching CHANGELOG.md entry.
Covers what shipped in v3.0.9 (Class 1 refuse-gate, LAW 1 WebSearch
precedence, END-boundary, stale SKILL.md deletion) plus the community
contributions that landed across 3.0.1-3.0.8 that had never been
announced (TikTok + YouTube top comments, Hermes support, multi-key
rotation, cross-platform fixes, HTTP layer consolidation, eval
fixtures).

Internal ce:plan output shouldn't ship on the public repo.
Adds docs/plans/ to .gitignore and removes the two already-tracked
plan files from the index. Working copies stay local for reference.

Both plans describe work that was already shipped:
- feat-add-websearch-source.md - websearch is in the v3 pipeline (scripts/lib/perplexity.py etc)
- fix-strict-date-filtering.md - date filtering is enforced in scripts/lib/dates.py
New planning goes in docs/plans/ following the ce:plan convention.
Isolate eval subprocesses from local yt-dlp config and fix nDCG normalization against the judged pool.
Validation: uv run python -m unittest tests.test_evaluate_search_quality
This workspace uses GOOGLE_API_KEY as the canonical Google credential. Accept it ahead of the Gemini-specific aliases so the local evaluation harness can run without a separate GEMINI_API_KEY export.
Validation: uv run python -m unittest tests.test_env_project tests.test_evaluate_search_quality and a one-shot keychain-backed resolution check.
Add an optional local evaluator that compares a baseline revision against a candidate checkout, computes deterministic stability metrics, and can call Gemini for judged ranking metrics when configured.
The harness isolates child runs with a temporary HOME and a node-free PATH so historical revisions cannot trigger Bird browser-cookie auth during evaluation.
Validation: uv run python -m unittest and local smoke/full deterministic eval runs.
Update README, launch copy, and UI guidance to prefer popup-free AUTH_TOKEN/CT0 configuration, and keep X backend selection on the verified Bird or xAI paths.
Validation: uv run python -m unittest tests.test_env_project
- Remove duplicate detect_query_type from query.py (divergent 5-type version);
canonical 7-type version lives in query_type.py
- Fix reddit.py import to use query_type.detect_query_type
- Clean unused STOPWORDS/SYNONYMS/tokenize imports from youtube_yt, instagram,
tiktok, scrapecreators_x, bird_x after relevance consolidation
- Fix _relevance_filter default from 0.7 to 0.0 (items without relevance
should not silently pass the filter)
- Remove --dateafter from yt-dlp (returns 0 results for evergreen topics)
- Remove restrictSearchableAttributes from HN search (misses Ask/Show HN)
- Lower HN points filter from >5 to >2 (avoids filtering niche posts)
- Add error logging to select_openai_model HTTP failures
- Remove mise.toml and internal planning doc from repo
- Update module docstrings to describe current purpose, not migration history
- Update tests to import from canonical relevance module
Mastodon-compatible API at truthsocial.com/api/v2/search.
Opt-in via TRUTHSOCIAL_TOKEN env var (bearer token from browser).
Silent when unconfigured. Full pipeline: search, parse, normalize,
score, dedupe, render across all 10 pipeline files.
27 new tests, 440 total passing.

- Fix plugin.json hooks field from invalid array to empty object
- Add Claude Code plugin install above ClawHub badge
- Version bump to v2.9.5 with new features block (Bluesky, comparative
mode, ScrapeCreators X, per-project env, expanded tests)
- Add Bluesky to all source list references
- Document BSKY_HANDLE/BSKY_APP_PASSWORD env vars in install + optional sections
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
searchPosts endpoint now returns 403 for unauthenticated requests.
Add session auth via createSession, gate on BSKY_HANDLE + BSKY_APP_PASSWORD
env vars. When unconfigured, Bluesky is completely invisible (no error).

Update .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and plugin.json to v2.9.5 with
full metadata. Add plugin install instructions to README as the
recommended install method. The repo root serves as both the marketplace
and the plugin - skills/last30days/SKILL.md (symlink) is discovered
automatically.
Users can now install with:
/plugin marketplace add mvanhorn/last30days-skill
/plugin install last30days@last30days-skill
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add gemini-extension.json manifest with correct array-format settings,
symlink skills/last30days/SKILL.md to root SKILL.md for Gemini skill
discovery, add Gemini install paths to bash for-loop in both main and
open variant, and add Gemini CLI install instructions to README.
Incorporates the good parts of PR #53 (manifest, paths, README) while
avoiding duplicate SKILL.md, tool name scattering, and allowed-tools
pollution that would have created maintenance issues.

PR merges on March 7 (PR #48 Xiaohongshu, upstream merge) regressed
SKILL.md by re-introducing the "Save Research to Documents" section
that v2.9.4 removed. Those branches were forked before v2.9.4 and
brought the old content back via merge resolution.
Fixes: remove save section, restore --save-dir flag on bash command,
update agent mode line, add tool-call guard to STOP instruction.

Explored adding scheduled re-runs and cumulative intelligence to
last30days. Concluded that Claude Code's session-scoped scheduling
(CronCreate/loop) can't support true perpetual monitoring since
jobs die when the terminal closes. Plan documents the architecture,
what exists, and why we're waiting for persistent background agents.

- Xiaohongshu search via local MCP service (opt-in, zero impact if service not running)
- Reddit public JSON fallback (works with zero API keys)
- Reddit priority: ScrapeCreators -> OpenAI -> public fallback
- Updated env.py: Reddit always available via public fallback
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add --save-dir flag to last30days.py that saves raw research output
during the existing script run. Remove entire "Save Research to
Documents" section from SKILL.md (~45 lines). No more extra tool
calls, no (No output), no multi-minute cogitation after invitation.
Tested: --mock confirms file creation and duplicate date suffixing.

Three focused improvements based on 5 full-pipeline beta tests:
1. Elevate top Reddit comments in scoring and rendering
2. Improve subreddit discovery heuristic for ambiguous queries
3. Make ScrapeCreators the default recommended Reddit method
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add Instagram Reels as the 8th research source via ScrapeCreators API.
One API key (SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY) now covers both TikTok and Instagram.
- Add scripts/lib/instagram.py: keyword search, transcript extraction,
relevance scoring, engagement metrics (views, likes, comments)
- Add InstagramItem to schema, normalization, scoring, dedup, rendering
- Add Instagram to orchestrator pipeline, watchlist, and UI spinners
- Update SKILL.md: stats template, citation priority, item format,
URL-to-name extraction rules, anti-Sources instruction
- Update README and CHANGELOG for v2.8
- Fix: Instagram/TikTok not running in --search= web-only path
- Fix: web stats line showing full URLs instead of domain names
- Replace APIFY_API_TOKEN with SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY throughout

Remove double quotes around $ARGUMENTS in SKILL.md so bash word-splits
the expansion, and change argparse topic from nargs="?" to nargs="*"
so multi-word topics still work. Also document --store, --include-web,
--diagnose, and --timeout flags in the Options section.
Closes#36

When running in Claude Code, the assistant has a built-in WebSearch tool
that's free and higher quality than Parallel AI/Brave/OpenRouter. Adding
--no-native-web to the SKILL.md invocation defers web search to the
assistant, saving API credits. OpenClaw invocations don't pass this flag,
so they continue using native web backends.

Add TikTok search, scoring, and rendering using the Apify platform
(clockworks/tiktok-scraper actor). Users bring their own APIFY_API_TOKEN
($5/month free credits, no CC required). The shared apify_client_wrapper
module is designed for reuse by future Facebook/Instagram sources.
- New modules: tiktok.py (search + caption extraction), apify_client_wrapper.py
- Schema: TikTokItem dataclass, shares field on Engagement, Report.tiktok
- Pipeline: normalize → filter → score → sort → dedupe → cross-link → render
- Scoring: 0.50*log1p(views) + 0.30*log1p(likes) + 0.20*log1p(comments)
- SKILL.md bumped to v2.7 with TikTok stats, citations, and security docs
- 26 unit tests covering relevance, normalize, score, dedupe, render, round-trip

URLs in markdown links wrap badly in terminals (discovered after first
fix attempt). Change to plain names like "Newsweek, Sportskeeda, Medium"
on the Web: stats line. Update citation note to explain the reason.
Tested on Dor Brothers, Kanye West, Logan Paul - no trailing Sources:
block appeared in any of the three test runs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The WebSearch tool has a system-level mandate to append a Sources:
section at the end of every response. SKILL.md's old "DO NOT output
Sources: list" instruction was too weak to override it.
Fix: redirect citations into the stats block's Web: line as inline
links. The WebSearch citation requirement is satisfied there; an
explicit note after the stats block tells the model not to append
a separate trailing section.

Removes disable-model-invocation restriction so the skill can be called
by other agents via the Skill tool. Adds --agent flag for non-interactive
report output (skips intro, AskUserQuestion, wait pause, and invitation).
Fixes false security doc claiming autonomous invocation was blocked.

Reorder v2.5 features: Polymarket prediction markets and HN lead as #1,
multi-signal quality-ranked relevance scoring as #2. Add Anthropic Odds
example showcasing 11 live markets from a two-word query. Add Anthropic
and OpenAI Polymarket transcripts to launch tweets.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Gamma API only searches event titles/slugs, missing markets where the
topic is an outcome (e.g., "Arizona" in NCAA Tournament Winner). This adds:
- All-word query expansion (not just first word): "Arizona Basketball" now
searches "Arizona", "Basketball" independently
- Tag-based domain expansion: extracts category tags (e.g., "NCAA") from
first-pass results and searches those as a second pass
- Neg-risk binary market synthesis: shows team names from market questions
instead of generic Yes/No outcomes
- Question shortening: extracts "Arizona" from "Will Arizona win the NCAA
Tournament?" for clean display
- Increased depth (3 pages) and result caps (15) for more coverage
Live results: "Arizona Basketball" now finds NCAA Tournament Winner (12%),
#1 Seed (88%), Big 12 Champion (69%). "Iran War" returns 15 markets (up
from 9) with no regression.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- _compute_text_similarity() now checks outcome names with bidirectional
substring matching (0.85) and token overlap (0.7), not just event titles
- Collect outcomes from ALL active markets per event, filter to >1% price
- Reorder outcome_prices to surface topic-matching outcome before top-3 truncation
- Add SKILL.md "Prediction Markets" synthesis section with structural/long-term
market preference, domain examples, citation format, and narrative weaving
- Add Polymarket to citation priority list between HN and Web
- Update stats box template to show up to 5 market odds
- Fix render.py "vol24h" label to "volume"
- Add NCAA seed fixture event for outcome-only matching tests
- 82 polymarket tests pass (14 new)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Polymarket results now rank by text similarity, volume, liquidity, price
movement, and competitive score instead of API return position. Also fixes
pagination (DEPTH_CONFIG now controls page count, not a no-op limit param)
and caps results after re-ranking.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Search Polymarket's free Gamma API for relevant prediction markets on any
topic. Uses smart multi-query expansion to cast a wider net (e.g., "Arizona
Basketball" also searches "Arizona"), merges and dedupes by event ID, and
shows price movement context ("up 22.5% this week"). No API key required.
Also hides sources with zero results from the stats output (all sources).
54 new tests, all passing. Full pipeline integration with scoring, dedupe,
cross-source linking, and rendering.

When a topic is a person/brand (e.g. "Dor Brothers", "Jason Calacanis"),
the agent now resolves their X handle via WebSearch before running the
script, then passes --x-handle to search their posts unfiltered (no
topic keywords required). This finds posts the entity made without
mentioning their own name.
- SKILL.md + OpenClaw variant: Step 0.5 handle resolution instructions
- last30days.py: --x-handle CLI arg, passed through to _run_supplemental()
- bird_x.search_handles(): topic is now Optional[str] for unfiltered mode
- schema.py: resolved_x_handle field on Report
- render.py: show resolved handle in stats output

Ran 15-way blinded comparison (5 topics x 3 versions). CROSS won all 5 topics
(4.74/5.0 avg vs HN 4.10, Base 3.73). Then improved CROSS further:
- dedupe.py: hybrid similarity (token+trigram Jaccard) at 0.40 threshold,
cross-source links went from 3 to 13 items across 5 topics
- render.py: [xref: HN5, HN4] -> [also on: HN, Reddit] for human-readable tags
- youtube_yt.py: SYNONYMS dict so "hip hop" matches "rap" (0.33 -> 0.71 score)
- SKILL.md: instruction #7 tells Claude to lead with cross-platform signals
Validation: improved CROSS scores 4.38/5.0 vs original 3.98 (+0.40), wins 4/5
topics. Biggest gains in specificity (+0.8) and format compliance (+1.0).

YouTube videos now get real relevance scores based on token overlap
between the search query and video title (was hardcoded at 0.7).
Uses ratio overlap with stopword removal, floored at 0.1.
Cross-source linking annotates items that discuss the same story
across different platforms (e.g., Reddit + HN + X). Items get
bidirectional cross_refs displayed as [xref: R3, HN5] in compact
output so Claude can triangulate multi-platform coverage.

HN was appearing before YouTube in the stats block, sort tiebreaker,
and source status. Now consistently: Reddit > X > YouTube > HN > Web.
Also restored emoji + box-drawing chars in test skill SKILL.md.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add HN search via free Algolia API (no key needed). Two-phase approach:
search for stories, then enrich top ones with comments. Integrated into
the full pipeline (normalize, score, dedupe, render) running in parallel
with Reddit/X/YouTube. Source priority: Reddit > X > HN > YouTube > Web.
