- 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
- hackernews: use extract_core_subject instead of raw topic, add
points>5 filter and restrictSearchableAttributes=title to reduce
noise from URL-match and low-signal posts
- youtube: add --dateafter parameter to yt-dlp for server-side date
filtering (Python soft filter still handles fallback)
- reddit: skip opinion/review query variant for how_to/comparison
queries where it adds noise
- bird_x: add OR-group retry with compound terms before falling back
to word-dropping (uses X OR operator for multi-concept queries)
- query.py: add detect_query_type() and extract_compound_terms()
- bird_x: parse_bird_response now accepts query param and computes
token_overlap_relevance against tweet text
- reddit: _normalize_post computes relevance from query vs title+selftext
- hackernews: blends 60% Algolia rank + 40% token overlap + engagement
This makes the 45%-weight relevance factor in score.py actually
differentiate results instead of being a constant.
Reddit and X are the star of the show. In Claude Code (non-TTY),
suppress ⏳ start messages for HN and YouTube so Reddit/X are the
first visible lines. HN/YouTube still show ✓ completion messages.
Also suppress [HN] debug logs in non-TTY to reduce output clutter.

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.
