* feat: vs mode runs N full passes; --competitors wraps vs with auto-discovery
Unifies vs-mode and --competitors onto one fanout architecture. A topic
containing "vs" / "versus" now runs N full pipeline.run() calls in parallel
(reverting the one-pass latency optimization that removed per-entity
depth); --competitors becomes a SKILL.md-level shortcut where the hosting
reasoning model (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Gemini) discovers N peers via
its own WebSearch, runs Step 0.55 per entity, and invokes the engine with
a vs-topic + --competitors-plan JSON.
Changed:
- vs-mode: N full passes in parallel via fanout (was 1 merged pass).
- --competitors: SKILL.md shortcut for vs-mode-with-discovery. Engine flag
kept for headless/cron use. LAW 7-style stderr reframed to lead with the
hosting-model path (use WebSearch + --competitors-plan) instead of
BRAVE_API_KEY. Footer BRAVE/SERPER nudge suppressed when --plan or
--competitors-plan present (hosting model already has WebSearch).
Added:
- --competitors-plan JSON flag: per-entity {x_handle, x_related, subreddits,
github_user, github_repos, context}. Accepts inline JSON or file path.
subrun_kwargs_for helper is the single source of truth for per-entity
kwargs — no closure-default fallthrough from main scope.
- Per-entity save files: each entity's sub-run produces its own
{slug}-raw.md with a single-row Resolved Entities block.
- --polymarket-keywords filter for ambiguous single-token topics.
Fixed:
- test_competitor_subrun_isolation regression suite locks in 3.0.12's
no-leak invariant (main flags do not inherit into peer sub-runs).
- Updates test_regression.py for the new comparison-mode payload shape.
Bumps plugin.json to 3.0.13. 1,219 tests passing.

* fix: comparison title attribution — (Last 30 Days) → (/Last30Days)
User feedback on 3.0.13 dogfood runs (Kanye vs Drake, Mercer Island,
Figma): the comparison-mode synthesis title should attribute to the
slash command rather than restate the date range.
Three SKILL.md occurrences updated. Pure documentation change. Bumps to
3.0.14.

per-entity Strengths/Weaknesses, 9-axis Head-to-Head, Bottom Line,
emerging stack + LAW 2/4 COMPARISON exceptions
- 008 Person-topic GitHub handle resolution MANDATORY + LAW 1 reinforcement
at Step 2 tail and Step 2.5 entry + RECOMMENDATIONS signal-weighted
ranking rewrite + Polymarket post-merge topic filter (engine change,
filter_items_against_topic helper + vs/versus in _NOISE_WORDS)

Score against original user intent on Reddit, remove the artificial low-end relevance floor, and make Polymarket semantics dominate generic market quality signals.
Also apply the relevance filter to Polymarket and update the affected cross-source tests.
Validation: uv run python -m unittest
Add events_status=active and keep_closed_markets=0 to Gamma API
search params, filtering out resolved/closed markets that clutter results.
These params are confirmed in the Polymarket OpenAPI spec.
- 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)
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.

- _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)

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.

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.
