Matt Van Horn 5864c687a3 fix: hoist inline-link citation into LAW 8
Four live test runs on 2026-04-20 (Matt Van Horn, Peter Steinberger,
Best Headphones, OpenClaw vs Hermes) confirmed PR #289's citation rule
was deployed (diff IN SYNC, grep found it) but consistently skipped on
first-pass synthesis. Agent's own root cause, repeated verbatim across
all four runs: "SKILL.md is 45K tokens and fails a single Read. I read
offsets 1-200, 200-600, 600-1000, then stopped and ran the engine. The
inline-link rule lives at line 1224 of a 1523-line file. I never
reached it."

This is the exact failure mode the VOICE CONTRACT LAW block at line 97
was created to prevent. LAWs 1-7 were hoisted in v3.0.7/3.0.8 because
the file is too long to read top-to-bottom before synthesis. The
inline-link rule in PR #289 was added at line 1224 and never joined the
LAWs, so it lives below the chunked-read window and reliably gets
skipped. Same pattern as v3.0.6 (invented titles), disaster #2 (stripped
bold), disaster #3 (trailing Sources), and the 2026-04-19 Hermes
evidence-dump disaster. Same fix pattern: add the rule to the LAWs
block with the established anatomy.

Changes:

- Add LAW 8 at line 167, inside the VOICE CONTRACT LAW block. Full
  LAW-style shape: loud one-line rule, "applies to every query type",
  mechanism sentence, plain-text fallback clause, BAD/BAD/BAD/GOOD/
  FALLBACK example set, named incident reference (2026-04-20 inline-
  links saga), post-synthesis self-check.
- Update preamble at line 101 from "These five rules" to "These LAWs"
  (stale since LAWs 6-7 were added; fixed in the same commit).
- Convert the old CITATION PRIORITY / URL FORMATTING block at line 1218
  into a short pointer to LAW 8 plus the citation-priority ordering list
  (which is a preference, not the correctness rule, so it can live
  lower). Narrative BAD/GOOD examples stay in place with a back-ref
  line: "(These narrative examples illustrate LAW 8 from the VOICE
  CONTRACT.)"
- Single source of truth preserved: rule text lives exactly once in the
  LAWs block; lower references point back.

Does not touch: LAWs 1-7, LAW numbering, deterministic engine footer,
PASS-THROUGH FOOTER boundaries, comparison scaffold, mandatory badge,
em-dash/en-dash prohibition, no-## header rule, or any other structural
contract.

Verification pending: one fresh Cmd-Q session in Ghostty, then
/last30days Matt Van Horn to confirm first-pass inline links without a
correction round.

Matt Van Horn 790e5bc26a feat: inline markdown links on narrative citations
Citation rule inverted: every @handle, r/sub, publication, YouTube channel,
TikTok/Instagram creator, and Polymarket market cited in "What I learned"
and KEY PATTERNS is now an inline markdown link [name](url). URLs come
from the raw research dump. Claude Code renders [text](url) as blue
CMD-clickable text with the URL hidden.

Raw URL strings remain forbidden. Plain text is the fallback only when
the raw data has no URL for a specific source. Broken empty links
[name]() are explicitly called out as bad.

Scope:
- Updates CITATION PRIORITY to show each item as a markdown link.
- Updates URL FORMATTING rule: was "NEVER paste raw URLs", now "every
  citation is [name](url), never a raw URL string".
- Updates BAD/GOOD narrative examples to show linked @handles and r/subs.
- Updates the What-I-learned / KEY-PATTERNS template placeholders.
- Adds one sentence noting the engine-emitted stats footer (LAW 5) is
  pass-through only - agent does NOT format its links.

Does not touch: LAWs 1-7, deterministic engine footer, PASS-THROUGH
FOOTER boundaries, comparison scaffold, badge rules, em-dash/en-dash
prohibition, no-## header rule, or any other existing structural
enforcement.

Net change: +29 / -24 lines, one contiguous SKILL.md region.

Context: prior attempt (PR #286, closed) branched off a stale main and
accumulated three failed prompt-enforcement amendments on top. This
commit is a fresh start against current main, applying only the minimal
link-rule edit.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
## [3.0.14] - 2026-04-22
### Changed
- **Comparison-mode title attribution.** The synthesis title for vs-mode and `--competitors` outputs changes from `What the Community Says (Last 30 Days)` to `What the Community Says (/Last30Days)`. Surfaces the slash-command identity instead of restating the date range. Three SKILL.md occurrences updated; pure documentation change.
## [3.0.13] - 2026-04-22
### Changed
- **vs mode runs N full passes in parallel, one per entity.** Architectural revert of the 3-pass → 1-pass latency optimization from an earlier version. `/last30days "OpenAI vs Anthropic vs xAI"` now runs three full `pipeline.run()` calls in parallel via the same fanout `--competitors` uses, producing three `*-raw.md` save files plus a merged comparison output. Each entity gets its own Step 0.55-grade targeting, own primary X handle weight, own subreddit scoping — apples-to-apples depth instead of the one-pool merged retrieval the single-pass path produced. Parallel execution keeps wall clock ≈ single pass.
- **`--competitors` is now a SKILL.md-level shortcut for vs-mode with auto-discovery.** The hosting reasoning model (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Gemini, any agent with WebSearch) performs discovery and Step 0.55 per entity via its own WebSearch tool, then invokes the engine with a vs-topic and `--competitors-plan` JSON. The engine flag remains for headless/cron use with BRAVE/EXA/SERPER/PARALLEL/OPENROUTER keys (engine-internal `auto_resolve` stays as fallback).
- **LAW 7-style stderr for `--competitors` with no backend** now leads with the hosting-model path (WebSearch + Step 0.55 + `--competitors-plan`) instead of `BRAVE_API_KEY`. API-key framing moved to a secondary "headless" section.
### Added
- **`--competitors-plan` JSON flag** for per-entity Step 0.55 targeting. Schema: `{entity_name: {x_handle?, x_related?, subreddits?, github_user?, github_repos?, context?}}`. Accepts inline JSON or a file path (matches `--plan`). When present for an entity, skips engine-internal `auto_resolve` and uses the provided values; missing fields fall back to `auto_resolve` (if backend) or planner defaults. Case-insensitive entity matching. The `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** when `--save-dir` is set on a vs-mode or `--competitors` run. Each entity's sub-run produces its own `{slug}-raw.md` with a single-row Resolved Entities block — matches historical vs-mode behavior (N passes → N save files).
- **`--polymarket-keywords "kw1,kw2"`** to filter Polymarket matches for ambiguous single-token topics (e.g., "Warriors" → `nba,gsw,golden-state` kills Glasgow Warriors rugby and Honor of Kings Rogue Warriors noise).
### Fixed
- **BRAVE/SERPER footer nudge suppressed** when `--plan` or `--competitors-plan` is present. The nudge told Claude Code users to set an API key when they already have WebSearch via the hosting model. Nudge still fires for true headless runs (no `--plan`, no backend) where the advice is correct.
- **Override-leak regression testing.** 3.0.12 already fixed the main-topic `--subreddits` / `--x-handle` / `--github-*` from leaking into peer sub-runs via explicit per-entity kwargs scrubbing. This release adds a 4-test regression suite (`test_competitor_subrun_isolation.py`) locking in the invariant.
## [3.0.12] - 2026-04-22
### Fixed
- **Per-entity Step 0.55 resolution for competitor sub-runs.** In 3.0.11, only the main topic got X handle / subreddit / GitHub resolution; competitor sub-runs ran with planner defaults and produced visibly thinner evidence (Reddit 403 fallbacks, single-word queries). Each competitor sub-run now calls `resolve.auto_resolve()` inside `fanout.run_competitor_fanout` when a web backend is available, mirroring the main topic's pre-flight resolution. Per-entity X handle, subreddit list, GitHub user/repos, and news context are threaded into each sub-run's `pipeline.run()` call. Deep-copied config per sub-run prevents `_auto_resolve_context` cross-leak. Surfaces in a new `## Resolved Entities` output block so the resolution coverage is visible without reading stderr.
- **LAW 7 false-positive on internal fan-out sub-runs.** Each competitor sub-run was emitting the `[Planner] No --plan passed... YOU ARE the planner` stderr warning. LAW 7 targets the hosting-reasoning-model path, not engine-internal fan-out. New `internal_subrun=True` keyword on `planner.plan_query` and `pipeline.run` suppresses the warning for sub-runs only; the default path is unchanged.
- **Marketplace-stale SKILL.md trap.** Added a STEP 0 canonical-path self-check at the top of SKILL.md. Two of three 2026-04-22 test runs loaded SKILL.md from `plugins/marketplaces/last30days-skill/` (Claude-Code-managed git clone pinned to origin/main, lagging the versioned cache), then ran `--help` against the same stale path, did not see `--competitors`, and fell back to a manual comparison plan. The STEP 0 block forces any reader to verify they loaded from `plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/{VERSION}/SKILL.md` and re-read from the versioned cache if not.
### Changed
- **Default `--competitors` count is now 2 (3-way total: original + 2 peers).** Previously 3. `--competitors=N` still customizes (range 1..6). Matches the feature description's canonical example (`Kanye vs Drake vs Kendrick`).
### Added
- **`## Resolved Entities` block** in `render_comparison_multi` output. Shows per-entity X handle, subreddits, GitHub user/repos, and truncated context for every entity in the comparison. Block is omitted entirely when no entity has a resolved payload (mock mode, no backend).
## [3.0.11] - 2026-04-22
### Added
- **`--competitors` flag for auto-discovered comparison fan-out.** Pass `--competitors` on a single-entity topic and the engine discovers 2-6 peer entities via web search, then runs the full pipeline on each in parallel and emits one N-way comparison. `last30days Kanye West --competitors` resolves Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and one more peer. `last30days OpenAI --competitors` resolves Anthropic, xAI, Google Gemini. `--competitors=N` controls count, `--competitors-list="A,B,C"` skips discovery and uses the explicit list. Discovery mirrors the `auto_resolve` pattern (Brave / Exa / Serper / Parallel) with deterministic text extraction - no internal LLM call. Sub-runs inherit the main `--quick`/`--deep`/`--days`, run in a `ThreadPoolExecutor`, and degrade gracefully when at least 2 entities survive. Output reuses the existing 9-axis `## Head-to-Head` scaffold.
## [3.0.10] - 2026-04-21
### Added
- **Commenter handles on evidence lines.** Top-comment rendering now includes the commenter's handle - `u/author` for Reddit, `@handle` for TikTok/YouTube/Instagram/Bluesky/X/Threads. The enrichment adapters already captured `author`; the render layer just was not using it. Evidence lines change from `- Comment (6822 upvotes): Finally, John Apple` to `- u/Cyrisaurus (6822 upvotes): Finally, John Apple`. Person-level citations make synthesis-side inline markdown links per LAW 8 much more natural. Both the compact and full render paths are covered.
### Fixed
- **TikTok author preference.** `_fetch_post_comments` in `scripts/lib/tiktok.py` preferred `user.nickname` over `user.unique_id`, so the engine captured display names ("Moosa Noormahomed") instead of @handles ("moosanoormahomed"). Flipped to prefer `unique_id`. Nickname still wins as a fallback when `unique_id` is missing. Display names can contain emoji, spaces, and non-Latin characters that do not round-trip to a profile URL; the @handle is the stable identifier.
### Behavior fallback
- When an author is empty, `[deleted]`, or `[removed]`, the render falls back to the legacy `Comment (...)` shape - no `u/` or `@` prefix with an empty handle is ever emitted.

### Auto-discovered competitor comparisons
`/last30days OpenAI --competitors` tells the hosting reasoning model to discover the top 2 peers via WebSearch (Anthropic, xAI), run Step 0.55 per entity, and invoke the engine with `"OpenAI vs Anthropic vs xAI"` and a per-entity `--competitors-plan` JSON. The engine fans out 3 full pipelines in parallel, saves a `*-raw.md` file per entity, and merges them into a 3-way comparison.

# STEP 0: CANONICAL PATH SELF-CHECK — RUN BEFORE READING BELOW
Before reading anything else in this file, verify that the SKILL.md you just loaded is the versioned cache copy, not a stale marketplace clone:
```bash
CANONICAL_ROOT="$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days"
CANONICAL_LATEST=$(ls -d "$CANONICAL_ROOT"/*/ 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1)
CANONICAL_LATEST="${CANONICAL_LATEST%/}"
```
If the SKILL.md file you just read is NOT under `$CANONICAL_LATEST/`, STOP and re-read `$CANONICAL_LATEST/SKILL.md` before proceeding. Do not run `--help`, do not plan, do not invoke the engine against any other path.
**Why:** `~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/last30days-skill/` is a git clone Claude Code auto-restores to `origin/main` on session start. It can lag the versioned cache by one or more releases. Three 2026-04-22 test runs (Linear, Coinbase) loaded SKILL.md from `marketplaces/`, ran `--help` from the same stale path, did not see the `--competitors` flag that existed in the cache, and fell back to a manual comparison plan. Result: 2 of 3 windows never invoked the feature they were asked to test.
**How to self-check:** the file path you used in your last Read tool call should match `$CANONICAL_LATEST/SKILL.md`. If it contains `marketplaces/` or any other prefix, that is the stale-path failure mode. Re-read from `$CANONICAL_LATEST/SKILL.md` and restart this contract from the top.
The same pinned resolver appears later in Step 1 for the engine Bash invocation. That guard is necessary but insufficient — by the time you reach Step 1, you may have already internalized an out-of-date flag list from the stale SKILL.md above it. This STEP 0 runs first so the CONTRACT itself is read from the right file.

## If QUERY_TYPE = COMPARISON
When the user asks "X vs Y" (or "X vs Y vs Z"), the engine fans out N full `pipeline.run()` calls in parallel — one per entity — each with its own Step 0.55-grade targeting. This restored the old N-pass architecture (reverted the one-pass latency optimization that removed per-entity depth); parallel execution keeps wall clock ≈ a single pass.
When the user asks "X vs Y", run ONE research pass with a comparison-optimized plan that covers both entities AND their rivalry. This replaces the old 3-pass approach (which took 13+ minutes and produced tangential content).
**MANDATORY per-entity resolution.** For each entity, resolve the full Step 0.55 stack (X handle, subreddits, GitHub user/repos, news context). Then assemble a `--competitors-plan` JSON mapping each entity to its targeting, and invoke the engine ONCE with the vs-topic string.
**IMPORTANT: Include BOTH X handles (`--x-handle={TOPIC_A_HANDLE} --x-related={TOPIC_B_HANDLE},{COMPANY_HANDLES},{COMMENTATOR_HANDLES}`), `--subreddits={RESOLVED_SUBREDDITS}`, `--tiktok-hashtags={RESOLVED_HASHTAGS}`, `--tiktok-creators={RESOLVED_TIKTOK_CREATORS}`, and `--ig-creators={RESOLVED_IG_CREATORS}` from Step 0.55. Omit any flag where the value was not resolved (empty).**
**Output shape per run:**
- Main topic saves to `{main-slug}-raw.md`.
- Each peer saves to `{peer-slug}-raw.md`.
- Stdout shows a merged comparison with the `## Head-to-Head` scaffold + per-entity Resolved Entities block.

```
Topic A (the main topic, first in the vs-string) uses outer `--x-handle`, `--x-related`, `--subreddits`, `--github-user`, `--github-repo`, `--tiktok-*`, `--ig-creators` as usual. Topics B and C get their targeting from `--competitors-plan` entries (keyed by entity name, case-insensitive).
**The `--plan` JSON for comparisons should include 3-4 subqueries:**
1. **Head-to-head:** `"{TOPIC_A} vs {TOPIC_B}"` - catches rivalry content, direct comparisons
2. **Entity A news:** `"{TOPIC_A} news {MONTH} {YEAR}"` - catches entity-specific developments
3. **Entity B news:** `"{TOPIC_B} news {MONTH} {YEAR}"` - catches entity-specific developments
4. (Optional) **Domain context:** `"{COMPANY_A} {COMPANY_B} {DOMAIN} news"` - catches industry context (e.g., "OpenAI Anthropic AI news")
**Step 0.55 for N entities.** The same pre-research protocol that applies to a single-entity topic applies to EACH entity in a vs-run. For N=3, that means 3 WebSearches for X handles, 3 for subreddits, 3 for GitHub, 3 for news context — or equivalent batched queries. A `## Resolved Entities` block with dashes for any entity means you skipped Step 0.55 for that one. Re-run with a corrected plan.
ALL subqueries include ALL sources. The fusion engine handles deduplication across subqueries. **At least one subquery MUST include YouTube-specific search terms** (e.g., "{PERSON} interview 2026", "{PRODUCT_A} vs {PRODUCT_B} review") to ensure YouTube content is found. Without YouTube-specific terms, the engine may only find 0-1 videos for comparison queries.
**Then do WebSearch supplements** for: `{TOPIC_A} vs {TOPIC_B} comparison {YEAR}` and `{TOPIC_A} vs {TOPIC_B} which is better` — these catch rivalry articles that per-entity passes might not surface.
Then do WebSearch for: `{TOPIC_A} vs {TOPIC_B} comparison {YEAR}` and `{TOPIC_A} vs {TOPIC_B} which is better` and `{COMPANY_A} vs {COMPANY_B} news {MONTH} {YEAR}`.
**Skip the normal Step 1 below** - go directly to the comparison synthesis format (see "If QUERY_TYPE = COMPARISON" in the synthesis section).
**COMPARISON TABLE SCAFFOLD (engine-emitted, pass through verbatim):** For comparison topics, the engine's compact output includes a `## Head-to-Head` block with an empty markdown table (columns = entities, rows = axes like "What it is", "Community sentiment", "Trajectory"). Your synthesis MUST include this block verbatim with filled cells, positioned between the narrative and the emoji-tree footer. Keep each cell to 5-15 words. Use ' - ' (hyphen with spaces) not em-dashes inside cells.
### Competitor mode (`--competitors`)
`--competitors` is a SKILL.md-level shortcut for vs-mode with auto-discovery. The engine flag itself just signals intent; YOU (the hosting reasoning model) do the discovery and Step 0.55 via your own WebSearch tool, then invoke the vs-topic path above.
**The four-step protocol:**
1. **Discover peers** via WebSearch: `"{topic} competitors"` / `"{topic} alternatives"`. Pick N=2 by default (match the flag's default), N=argument value if the user passed `--competitors=N`.
2. **Run Step 0.55 for the main topic AND each peer** — same protocol you use for a single-entity topic, just N times. X handle, subreddits, GitHub, news context, per entity.
3. **Build the vs-topic string**: `"{main} vs {peer1} vs {peer2}"`.
4. **Invoke the engine** with the vs-topic, `--competitors-plan` JSON covering both peers (and the main topic if you want to override the outer flags), and the outer `--x-handle`/`--subreddits`/`--github-*` for the main topic.
**Flag surface (engine):**
- `--competitors` (bare) - signals the hosting model to discover 2 peers (3-way total).
- `--competitors=N` - N peers (1..6; out-of-range clamps with stderr warning).
- `--competitors-list="A,B,C"` - minimum escape hatch; names only, no per-entity targeting. Peer sub-runs fall back to planner defaults (visibly thinner data).
- `--competitors-plan '{entity: {x_handle, subreddits, github_user, github_repos, context}}'` - full per-entity targeting; implies vs-mode; preferred.
- `--polymarket-keywords "kw1,kw2"` - disambiguate Polymarket for ambiguous single-token topics ("Warriors" → `nba,gsw,golden-state`).
**Why --competitors-plan over --competitors-list:** without per-entity handles/subs, peer sub-runs run with deterministic single-word planner queries and produce visibly thinner evidence than the main topic. The Resolved Entities block in stdout makes the gap visible — dashes for a peer = you skipped its Step 0.55.
**Engine-internal auto-resolve (headless fallback):** if the engine detects BRAVE_API_KEY / EXA_API_KEY / SERPER_API_KEY / PARALLEL_API_KEY / OPENROUTER_API_KEY, it runs its own per-entity `resolve.auto_resolve()` before each sub-run. The hosting-model path does NOT need those keys — you are the WebSearch. The engine's auto-resolve is the cron/CI fallback for when no reasoning model is driving.
**Output:** one `{slug}-raw.md` per entity in `--save-dir` plus the merged comparison on stdout. Synthesis contract identical to the vs-mode protocol above.
**COMPARISON TABLE SCAFFOLD (engine-emitted, pass through verbatim):** For comparison topics, the engine's compact output includes a `## Head-to-Head Comparison` block with an empty markdown table (columns = entities, rows = axes like "Core pitch", "Who it's for", "Community stance", "Trajectory") plus a "Choose X if / Choose Y if" prose block. Your synthesis MUST include this block verbatim with filled cells, positioned between the narrative and the emoji-tree footer. Keep each cell to 5-15 words. Use ' - ' (hyphen with spaces) not em-dashes inside cells. The block is the canonical comparison output shape - do not invent your own table structure.

**Merging rule.** Start with WebSearch-returned subs. Append 2-3 category peers in the priority order shown. Dedupe case-insensitively (don't list `midjourney` twice if WebSearch already returned it). Cap total at 10: if adding all peers would exceed the cap, keep every WebSearch-returned sub (they are the freshest signal) and drop peers from the end of the priority list.
**Extrapolation.** If the topic is a product in a category NOT listed in the table (new AI tool, niche SaaS), use the same spirit: pick the 2-3 most active cross-product communities where technique discussion happens. A new image-gen tool still gets `r/StableDiffusion, r/midjourney, r/aiArt`. A new code editor still gets `r/ChatGPTCoding, r/LocalLLaMA`.

# feat: --competitors flag for auto-discovered comparison fan-out
## Overview
Add a `--competitors` flag to the last30days engine that auto-discovers 2-4 peer entities for the topic, runs the full retrieval pipeline on each in parallel, and renders a multi-entity comparison. Invoking `last30days Kanye West --competitors` should resolve to "Kanye vs Drake vs Kendrick Lamar" and emit a comparison report covering all three. Invoking `last30days OpenAI --competitors` should resolve to "OpenAI vs Anthropic vs xAI vs Gemini" and emit a four-way comparison.
Discovery mirrors the existing `resolve.auto_resolve()` pattern used for X handles and subreddits at pipeline start — web search (Brave / Exa / Serper) plus deterministic extraction. Not an internal LLM call.
## Problem Frame
Users who want a comparison today must type "OpenAI vs Anthropic vs xAI" themselves. The `planner._comparison_entities()` path already handles explicit multi-entity topics and `render._render_comparison_scaffold()` already emits a 9-axis comparison table. What is missing is the discovery half — a user who types a single entity with `--competitors` should get the comparison for free.
This is also the natural next step after the Step 0.55 category-peer subreddit work (PR #305, merged 2026-04-22). That feature widens the subreddit set within a single topic; this feature widens the entity set into peer entities.
## Requirements Trace
- R1. New `--competitors` boolean flag that triggers competitor discovery and multi-entity fan-out.
- R2. New `--competitors-list="A,B,C"` to explicitly skip discovery (mirrors `--plan`, `--subreddits`, `--x-handle` overrides).
- R3. New `--competitors=N` short form to set competitor count inline (N in 1..6).
- R4. Default count is 3 competitors (original + 3 = 4-way comparison).
- R5. Competitor retrieval depth inherits the main run's depth (`--quick` / `--deep`); all entities run in parallel so wall clock stays close to a single run.
- R6. Discovery mirrors `resolve.auto_resolve()`: web search for peers, deterministic text extraction. No internal LLM dependency.
- R7. If no web search backend is configured and no `--competitors-list` was passed, engine emits a LAW 7-style stderr telling the host agent to pass `--competitors-list` and exits non-zero.
- R8. Output rendering is a single comparison report covering all entities, reusing the existing 9-axis scaffold from `render._render_comparison_scaffold()` where applicable.
## Scope Boundaries
- Synthesis prompt changes beyond wiring N reports into the existing comparison scaffold are out of scope.
- `--competitors` does not replace the existing explicit "A vs B vs C" topic parsing in `planner._comparison_entities()`; both paths coexist.
- No caching layer for discovery results in v1.
- No UI/SKILL.md rewrite of the entire comparison section; only the new flag is documented.
- No new web search backend.
### Deferred to Separate Tasks
- Caching of competitor lookups: separate follow-up once hit rate justifies it.
- Disambiguation UX for topics with multiple common entities ("Amazon" the company vs the river): separate brainstorm.
## Context & Research
### Relevant Code and Patterns
- `scripts/last30days.py:168-249``build_parser()` argparse definitions. Existing depth flags (`--quick`, `--deep`) and override flags (`--plan`, `--subreddits`, `--x-handle`, `--auto-resolve`) set the convention to mirror.
- `scripts/lib/resolve.py:179-258``auto_resolve()` is the reference pattern: web search fan-out via `ThreadPoolExecutor`, per-query extraction functions, graceful empty-dict return when no backend is available.
- `scripts/lib/resolve.py:98-140``_extract_x_handle()` and sibling extractors show the deterministic text-mining style competitor extraction should mirror.
- `scripts/lib/pipeline.py:162-220``pipeline.run()` signature is the fan-out target. One call per entity, each returning a `schema.Report`.
- `scripts/lib/planner.py:430-564` — Existing comparison-intent handling and `_comparison_entities()` entity extraction. The new flag feeds the same mental model but populates entities from discovery instead of from the topic string.
- `scripts/lib/render.py:333-392``_render_comparison_scaffold()` already emits a 9-axis markdown comparison table. The new multi-report renderer should reuse this helper by assembling a synthetic "A vs B vs C" topic header for it.
- `scripts/lib/grounding.py` + `scripts/lib/providers.py` — Web search backend resolution (Brave / Exa / Serper). Reused as-is.
### Institutional Learnings
- No existing `docs/solutions/` entries for competitor discovery or multi-entity fan-out.
- Recent plan `docs/plans/2026-04-22-001-fix-category-peer-subreddit-resolution-plan.md` established the precedent of deterministic peer expansion; this plan extends that idea from subreddits to entities.
### External References
- None gathered — local patterns are strong. `resolve.auto_resolve()` is a direct template.
## Key Technical Decisions
- **Discovery mirrors auto_resolve, not plan_query.** Web search + regex extraction, not an LLM call. Matches the user's explicit direction ("use the python brain the same way it searches for X handles"). Cheaper, no provider credential requirement, deterministic.
- **Orchestration lives in `last30days.py` main, not inside `pipeline.run()`.** The fan-out is a top-level concern — one pipeline run per entity, each independent. Keeps `pipeline.run()` single-entity and unchanged except for sharing a `ThreadPoolExecutor` factory.
- **Sub-runs inherit main depth and run in parallel.** Wall clock ≈ single run; token cost scales linearly with N. User-controlled via the existing `--quick`/`--deep` flags.
- **New module `scripts/lib/competitors.py` instead of adding to `resolve.py`.** Keeps resolve focused on single-entity entity-bundle discovery (handles/subreddits/github); competitors.py owns peer-entity discovery. Similar shape, different responsibility.
- **Multi-report render is additive in `render.py`.** New `render_comparison_multi(reports: list[Report]) -> str` composes a synthetic "A vs B vs C" topic and delegates to the existing scaffold + synthesis path where possible. No rewrite of the single-entity render path.
- **Default count = 3 competitors (4-way comparison).** Hard cap at 6.
- **LAW 7-style stderr when no backend and no list.** Matches how `planner.plan_query()` already tells the hosting agent to pass `--plan`.
## Open Questions
### Resolved During Planning
- **Discovery mechanism:** Web search via `grounding.web_search()`, not an internal LLM. User confirmed the auto_resolve pattern is the target.
- **Default competitor count:** 3 (original + 3 = 4-way).
- **Sub-run depth:** Inherit main depth, parallel execution.
- **Flag naming:** `--competitors` (standard argparse double-dash). `--competitors=N` for inline count. `--competitors-list="A,B,C"` to skip discovery.
### Deferred to Implementation
- Exact extraction heuristics for competitor names across Brave / Exa / Serper result shapes. The SERP text varies (listicles, comparison pages, "vs" pages); the initial implementation will start with listicle parsing plus a "X vs Y" pattern match, and harden against real results in the test phase.
- Handling of topic ambiguity ("Amazon", "Apple"). Initial behavior: trust whatever web search returns for the topic verbatim; disambiguation is a separate concern.
- Merge strategy when two entities return overlapping URLs (e.g., an "OpenAI vs Anthropic" article shows up in both runs). Likely dedupe at the clustering step, but defer the exact policy until we see how often it happens.
- Whether to expose competitor discovery artifacts (the raw web search results) as a debug emit. Follow the existing `--debug` conventions.
## Implementation Units
- [ ] **Unit 1: CLI flag parsing and validation**
**Goal:** Add `--competitors`, `--competitors=N`, and `--competitors-list` to the argparse surface, validate values, and thread them into the main orchestration.
**Requirements:** R1, R2, R3, R4
**Dependencies:** None
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py`
- Test: `tests/test_cli_competitors.py`
**Approach:**
- Add three mutually cooperative flags near line 205 in `build_parser()`:
- `--competitors` with `nargs="?"` and `const=3` so bare `--competitors` defaults to 3, `--competitors=4` is honored, and `--competitors=0` is rejected
- `--competitors-list` free-text CSV
- Normalize in `main()`: if `--competitors-list` is present, skip discovery and use the list. If `--competitors` is set and no list, trigger discovery with count = the flag value. Clamp count to 1..6 with a stderr warning at boundary.
- Thread the resulting entity list into the orchestrator added in Unit 3.
**Patterns to follow:**
- `--plan` argument at `scripts/last30days.py:187` — same skip-discovery-when-explicit shape.
- `--subreddits` / `--x-handle` at `scripts/last30days.py:180,189` — same override semantics.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: bare `--competitors` parses to count=3, empty list.
- Happy path: `--competitors=4` parses to count=4.
- Happy path: `--competitors-list="A,B,C"` parses to count=3, list=["A","B","C"], and is preferred over any discovery signal.
- Edge case: `--competitors=0` and `--competitors=-1` are rejected with a clear error.
- Edge case: `--competitors=99` clamps to 6 with a stderr warning.
- Edge case: `--competitors` combined with `--competitors-list` uses the list and logs that discovery was skipped.
- Edge case: `--competitors-list` value with whitespace ("A, B , C") normalizes correctly.
**Verification:**
- Running the binary with each flag variation produces the expected post-parse state without calling out to the network.
- [ ] **Unit 2: `scripts/lib/competitors.py` discovery module**
**Goal:** Discover peer entities for a topic using web search + deterministic extraction, mirroring `resolve.auto_resolve()`.
**Requirements:** R6, R7
**Dependencies:** None (pure module; wired by Unit 3)
**Files:**
- Create: `scripts/lib/competitors.py`
- Test: `tests/test_competitors.py`
**Approach:**
- Public entry point `discover_competitors(topic: str, count: int, config: dict) -> list[str]`.
- Early return `[]` when `_has_backend(config)` is false (reuse the helper from `resolve.py`; factor if needed).
- Fan out 2-3 web searches in a `ThreadPoolExecutor`:
- `"{topic} competitors"`
- `"{topic} alternatives"`
- `"{topic} vs"` (captures "X vs Y" articles)
- Feed results into a deterministic `_extract_peer_entities(results, topic)` that:
- Mines titles and snippets for capitalized noun phrases other than the topic itself
- Scores by frequency across results
- Filters stopwords and the topic's own tokens
- Returns top `count` unique entities ordered by score
- Emit a single-line stderr log mirroring the `resolve._log` format.
**Patterns to follow:**
- `scripts/lib/resolve.py:179-258` for the function shape, executor usage, and empty-result fallback.
- `scripts/lib/resolve.py:98-140` for extractor style (small, deterministic, no external state).
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: canned SERP fixtures for "OpenAI" return ["Anthropic", "xAI", "Google"] or close peers in the top 3.
- Happy path: canned SERP fixtures for "Kanye West" return rap peers (Drake, Kendrick) in the top 3.
- Edge case: empty SERP results return `[]` without raising.
- Edge case: extractor filters out the topic itself (case- and punctuation-insensitive).
- Edge case: near-duplicate entities ("OpenAI" vs "Open AI") dedupe to one slot.
- Error path: web search backend raises — the failure is logged and the function returns `[]`.
- Edge case: count=1 returns a single-element list; count=6 returns up to six entities.
**Verification:**
- Unit tests pass with fixtures committed under `tests/fixtures/competitors-*.json`.
- Manual run against a live backend for one topic confirms sensible output (recorded as a notes file, not a test assertion).
- [ ] **Unit 3: Parallel fan-out orchestrator**
**Goal:** Run `pipeline.run()` once per entity (topic + discovered competitors) in parallel, collect `schema.Report` per entity, and hand them to the comparison renderer.
**Requirements:** R5, R7
**Dependencies:** Unit 1, Unit 2
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py`
- Possibly create: `scripts/lib/fanout.py` if the orchestrator grows past ~60 lines
- Test: `tests/test_competitor_fanout.py`
**Approach:**
- After arg parsing and before the existing `pipeline.run()` call, branch on `args.competitors`:
- If a list was provided or discovery returned entities, build `entities = [topic, *competitors]`.
- Spawn one `pipeline.run()` per entity via `ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=len(entities))`, passing the same `config`, `depth`, and all sub-run-relevant args (mock, plan, etc.). Respect `--plan` — if a plan is passed it applies to the main topic only; competitors use the internal planner fallback for v1.
- Collect `{entity: Report}` mapping. A per-entity failure logs a stderr warning and drops that entity from the comparison; the run continues as long as 2 entities succeed.
- If fewer than 2 entities survive, exit with a clear error.
- LAW 7-style stderr:
- If `args.competitors` is set, no list was passed, no web search backend is configured, emit a LAW 7 stderr message pointing to the `--competitors-list` override and exit non-zero. Reuse the tone from `planner.plan_query()` fallback (`scripts/lib/planner.py:125-135`).
**Execution note:** Start with a failing integration test that exercises the full main → orchestrator → mocked pipeline.run path; the orchestrator is where bugs hide.
**Patterns to follow:**
- `scripts/lib/resolve.py:225-239` for ThreadPoolExecutor + as_completed + per-future error handling.
- `scripts/lib/pipeline.py:310+` for how ThreadPoolExecutor is already used inside a single run (same idiom, outer layer).
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: main + 2 competitors, all three `pipeline.run()` calls succeed (mocked), orchestrator returns 3 Reports.
- Happy path: discovery returns the competitor list; orchestrator fans out accordingly.
- Edge case: one of three competitor pipelines raises — the run continues with the surviving 2 and emits a warning.
- Edge case: all competitors fail but the main topic succeeds — orchestrator exits non-zero with a clear error rather than silently degrading to a single-entity render.
- Edge case: `--competitors` set, no backend, no list — orchestrator emits the LAW 7 stderr and exits non-zero before any pipeline call.
- Integration: wall-clock time for 3 mocked pipelines in parallel is close to the slowest single run, not the sum (timing assertion with generous margin).
**Verification:**
- End-to-end test with mocked `pipeline.run()` and mocked competitors discovery produces 3 Reports and hands them to a stubbed renderer.
- [ ] **Unit 4: Multi-report comparison renderer**
**Goal:** Compose N `schema.Report`s into a single comparison-mode output, reusing the existing 9-axis scaffold.
**Requirements:** R8
**Dependencies:** Unit 3
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/lib/render.py`
- Test: `tests/test_render_comparison_multi.py`
**Approach:**
- Add `render_comparison_multi(reports: list[schema.Report], *, emit: str) -> str`.
- Build a synthetic comparison topic: `f"{entity_a} vs {entity_b} vs {entity_c}"`.
- Reuse `_render_comparison_scaffold()` for the table skeleton. Each entity column is populated from its own Report's top clusters and citations.
- For the narrative synthesis block, concatenate per-entity highlights, clearly labeled by entity, under a shared "Comparison" header.
- Preserve existing emit modes (`compact`, `md`, `json`, `context`). In `json` emit, return a `{"entities": [...], "reports": [...]}` shape; single-Report consumers remain unaffected because the single-report render path is untouched.
**Patterns to follow:**
- `scripts/lib/render.py:333-392` (`_parse_comparison_entities`, `_render_comparison_scaffold`) — the scaffold is the contract.
- `scripts/lib/render.py` single-report rendering — for per-entity narrative blocks.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: 3 Reports with distinct clusters render into a 3-column table and a "Comparison" section that mentions each entity at least once.
- Happy path: 2 Reports render as a 2-column table without breaking the scaffold.
- Edge case: a Report with an empty cluster list renders as "(no significant discussion this month)" in its column rather than crashing.
- Edge case: Reports with overlapping URLs (same article cited by two entities) dedupe citations at the footer but keep both column entries.
- Emit variants: `--emit=compact`, `--emit=md`, `--emit=json`, `--emit=context` each produce valid output with all entities represented.
- Integration: end-to-end snapshot test using fixture Reports, checked against a stored expected output (with a clear update path when the scaffold intentionally evolves).
**Verification:**
- Snapshot tests pass. Manual review of one real 3-way comparison confirms readability.
- [ ] **Unit 5: Docs, SKILL.md mention, and sync**
**Goal:** Document the new flag so the hosting agent and human users both know it exists, and run the sync script.
**Requirements:** R1-R8 (surfaces them to users)
**Dependencies:** Units 1-4
**Files:**
- Modify: `SKILL.md`
- Modify: `README.md` (brief flag reference)
- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
- Run: `bash scripts/sync.sh`
**Approach:**
- Add a compact "Competitor mode" subsection under the existing comparison docs in `SKILL.md`. Document the flag, the default count, the override flag, and the LAW 7 fallback stderr.
- Keep `README.md` addition to a single example line.
- CHANGELOG entry mirrors the voice of recent entries (imperative, outcome-first).
- Sync via `scripts/sync.sh` per CLAUDE.md rules so `~/.claude/`, `~/.agents/`, `~/.codex/` pick up the new SKILL.md.
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — documentation and sync only. Verification is by inspection and by running `sync.sh` and confirming target directories updated.
**Verification:**
- `sync.sh` completes without errors.
- `SKILL.md` rendered preview mentions `--competitors` in the comparison section.
## System-Wide Impact
- **Interaction graph:** `last30days.py main()` now orchestrates multiple `pipeline.run()` calls instead of one. No other callers of `pipeline.run()` are affected (it remains single-entity).
- **Error propagation:** Per-entity failures degrade gracefully as long as ≥2 entities survive; fewer survivors exits non-zero. Discovery failure with `--competitors` and no list is fatal.
- **State lifecycle risks:** Each sub-run uses its own `pipeline.run()` state; no shared mutable config. The `config` dict is read-only in `pipeline.run()` today — verify before committing to shared-reference passing, else deep-copy per sub-run.
- **API surface parity:** `--competitors` coexists with the existing explicit "A vs B vs C" topic parsing in `planner._comparison_entities()`. Both produce comparable output formats; the only difference is where the entity list came from.
- **Integration coverage:** The fan-out orchestrator crosses CLI → discovery → N pipelines → render; integration tests in Unit 3 and Unit 4 must exercise the full path end to end, not just unit-level.
- **Unchanged invariants:** `pipeline.run()` signature and single-entity semantics are unchanged. The single-entity render path in `render.py` is unchanged. No changes to `planner.plan_query()`. No changes to existing flags.
## Risks & Dependencies
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Competitor discovery returns garbage entities for niche topics. | `--competitors-list` override lets the user (or hosting agent) correct it. Unit tests with edge-case fixtures. Log discovery output to stderr under `--debug`. |
| Token cost scales linearly with N sub-runs. | Default count capped at 3, hard max 6, inherit `--quick` to let users throttle. Wall clock stays parallel. Emit a cost hint to stderr when N ≥ 4. |
| Merge conflicts against the single-entity render path during refactoring. | Keep the multi-report renderer strictly additive; do not modify the single-Report code path. |
| Config dict mutation inside sub-runs could leak state between entities. | Verify read-only usage before sharing references. If any sub-component mutates, deep-copy per sub-run before spawning threads. |
| A SERP extractor that works on Brave fixtures breaks on Exa/Serper result shapes. | Test fixtures for all three backends. Extractor operates on a normalized shape from `grounding.web_search()` (already the case), not raw provider output. |
| Hosting agent (Claude Code, Codex) unaware of the new flag when it could usefully pass `--competitors-list`. | SKILL.md updated in Unit 5 documents the flag in the same style as `--plan` and `--auto-resolve`. |
## Documentation / Operational Notes
- Beta channel first: per `CLAUDE.md`, experimental changes go to `mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private` on the `/last30days-beta` command. Land this on the private repo first, shake out on real topics for a day or two, then cherry-pick to public.
- After land-merge: run `scripts/sync.sh` to deploy SKILL.md + scripts to `~/.claude/`, `~/.agents/`, `~/.codex/`.
- Release notes entry in CHANGELOG.md follows the v3.0.9 voice — outcome-first, one paragraph.

# fix: per-entity resolution, default-2, and stale-path guard for --competitors
## Overview
Three test runs of v3.0.11 `--competitors` surfaced four real bugs plus one product tweak. This plan fixes all of them in a single follow-up:
1. Competitor sub-runs get no Step 0.55 resolution (no X handle, no subreddits, no GitHub repo). Drake / Kendrick / Travis ran with deterministic-fallback single-word queries while Kanye had the full targeting package. User called it "lazy" and was right.
2. Two of three test windows (Linear, Coinbase) never invoked the new flag at all. They loaded SKILL.md from `plugins/marketplaces/last30days-skill/` (a Claude-Code-managed git clone pinned to origin/main, which predates PR #308) instead of `plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/3.0.11/`, so `--help` showed no `--competitors` flag and the model fell back to the manual comparison path.
3. Each competitor sub-run emits a scary `[Planner] No --plan passed... deterministic fallback` stderr line because LAW 7 targets the hosting-model path, not internal fan-out sub-runs.
4. Default competitor count is 3 (→ 4-way comparison). User wants default 2 (→ 3-way: original + 2 peers). Flag keeps `--competitors=N` to customize.
## Problem Frame
The 3 test runs (Kanye, Linear, Coinbase) showed a pattern:
| Window | Loaded SKILL.md from | Invoked --competitors? | Per-entity resolution? | Outcome |
|--------|----------------------|-----------------------|------------------------|---------|
| Kanye | cache/3.0.11/ (correct) | Yes | Only for main topic (Kanye) | Drake/Kendrick/Travis thin; Reddit 403 fallbacks |
| Linear | marketplaces/ (stale) | No — fell back to manual comparison | No | Thin run with noisy subreddits |
| Coinbase | marketplaces/ (stale) | No — fell back to manual comparison | Main only; keyword-search poisoned pool | Top subs: r/survivor, r/Airpodsmax (noise) |
Root causes:
- **Per-entity resolution gap:** `scripts/lib/fanout.py` calls `pipeline.run()` with topic + depth + web_backend + lookback_days only. It does not call `resolve.auto_resolve()` per entity, so sub-runs have no X handle, subreddit, or GitHub targeting. The original plan (`2026-04-22-002`) acknowledged this as a deliberate v1 simplification ("competitor sub-runs use planner defaults"). In practice this produces visibly asymmetric output and triggers downstream retrieval issues (403 fallbacks, keyword-search noise).
- **Stale-path loading:** Claude Code's skill loader alphabetizes `find` results with `marketplaces/` before `cache/`, and the model reads the first plausible SKILL.md it sees. SKILL.md line 823's `SKILL_ROOT` resolver is the correct path but only fires in engine-invocation blocks, not in the skill-load step.
- **LAW 7 in sub-runs:** LAW 7 exists because the *hosting reasoning model* is supposed to pass `--plan`. For competitor sub-runs, there is no hosting-model planning — it's an engine-internal fan-out. The warning is a false positive there.
## Requirements Trace
- R1. Default `--competitors` count is 2 peers (3-way comparison: original + 2).
- R2. Each competitor sub-run performs Step 0.55 resolution (X handle, subreddits, GitHub user/repos, news context) before its pipeline runs — not just the main topic.
- R3. Sub-runs do not emit the LAW 7 `No --plan passed` warning; they are internal fan-out, not hosting-model calls.
- R4. The rendered comparison output includes a visible "Resolved entities" block showing per-entity handles/subs/github for debug transparency (answers "did it resolve everyone?" without the user having to read stderr).
- R5. SKILL.md has a canonical-path self-check at the top: if the reader loaded it from anywhere other than `plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/{VERSION}/`, re-read from the versioned path before proceeding.
- R6. Version bumps to 3.0.12; CHANGELOG entry; `scripts/sync.sh` deploys.
## Scope Boundaries
- No new discovery strategy. The web-search + regex extraction in `scripts/lib/competitors.py` stays as-is.
- No new CLI flags beyond the behavior changes above. Specifically: no per-entity override flags like `--competitor-handles`. The hosting-model escape hatch remains `--competitors-list`.
- No changes to the explicit `A vs B` comparison path (topic-string parsing in `planner._comparison_entities`).
- No marketplace-clone auto-restore fix — that's Claude Code harness behavior. This plan only guards against the symptom on the skill side.
### Deferred to Separate Tasks
- Caching of per-entity resolution results: separate follow-up once hit rate justifies it.
- Fan-out rate-limiting tuning (currently `max_workers=len(entities)+1`, capped at 6): defer until we see real-world quota exhaustion.
- Pre-flight cost hint when N ≥ 4 (noted in `2026-04-22-002` risks): defer.
## Context & Research
### Relevant Code and Patterns
- `scripts/last30days.py:205-219``--competitors` / `--competitors-list` argparse definition (const=3 today; changing to 2).
- `scripts/last30days.py:220-290``resolve_competitors_args()` validator; update `COMPETITORS_DEFAULT`.
- `scripts/last30days.py:438-520` — main() fan-out orchestration; currently passes only topic/depth to each `_competitor_runner`.
- `scripts/lib/fanout.py:40-95``run_competitor_fanout()` signature. The `competitor_runner` callable is where per-entity resolution needs to happen.
- `scripts/lib/resolve.py:179-258``auto_resolve()` is the exact per-entity resolver to reuse. Already does X handle + subreddits + GitHub user/repos + news context in parallel via ThreadPoolExecutor.
- `scripts/lib/planner.py:80-135``plan_query()` emits the LAW 7 stderr. A `quiet: bool` keyword or `internal_subrun: bool` flag will suppress it.
- `scripts/lib/pipeline.py:162-220``pipeline.run()` signature. Needs a new keyword to propagate quiet-mode down to the planner.
- `scripts/lib/render.py:render_comparison_multi` — where the "Resolved entities" block is inserted.
- `SKILL.md` line 823 — canonical `SKILL_ROOT` resolver already exists but fires in engine bash, not at skill-load time.
### Institutional Learnings
- `docs/plans/2026-04-22-002-feat-competitors-flag-comparison-fanout-plan.md` acknowledged the per-entity-resolution gap as a v1 tradeoff. This plan closes that gap.
- Kanye run stderr: `[Planner] No --plan passed... deterministic fallback` × 3 (once per competitor sub-run). That's the LAW 7 noise R3 targets.
- Linear / Coinbase runs loaded `plugins/marketplaces/last30days-skill/CLAUDE.md` as the first hit. That's the stale-path issue R5 targets.
### External References
- None. All patterns are in-repo.
## Key Technical Decisions
- **Per-entity resolve happens inside fanout, not in SKILL.md.** The user-facing promise of `--competitors` is "one flag, engine does the work." Pushing resolution onto the hosting model creates another path-of-least-resistance trap (model skips it, output looks lazy). Auto-resolve inside each sub-run when a web backend is available makes the feature self-contained.
- **Stale-path guard is a SKILL.md self-check, not a code change.** We cannot stop Claude Code from auto-restoring the marketplace clone. But we can put a 3-line banner at the top of SKILL.md that forces any path-mismatched read to re-read from the versioned cache. Both the marketplace copy (once main catches up) and the cache copy carry the guard.
- **LAW 7 suppression is opt-in via `internal_subrun=True` keyword.** Do not remove the warning from the default path — it's load-bearing for the hosting-model contract. Add an explicit bypass for engine-internal fan-out only.
- **Default 2, hard max 6 unchanged.** "Original + 2" matches the Kanye/Drake/Kendrick mental model from the feature description. Still allow `--competitors=N` from 1 to 6.
- **Resolved block is inside the EVIDENCE envelope, not above it.** Keeps the rendered output structure stable for the synthesis contract (LAW 18). The block is context, not output.
- **Skip auto-resolve when `--mock` or no web backend.** Mirrors the existing `resolve.auto_resolve()` fast-fail and keeps the mock test path deterministic.
## Open Questions
### Resolved During Planning
- **Where does per-entity resolve live?** Inside `fanout.run_competitor_fanout`, not in `main()`. Each sub-run calls `auto_resolve()` just before `pipeline.run()`.
- **Should the hosting model still be able to override?** Yes — `--competitors-list` remains the escape hatch. When an explicit list is passed, the engine still does auto-resolve per entity; the user's list just skips discovery.
- **Should sub-runs run auto-resolve in parallel with each other?** Yes. The existing `ThreadPoolExecutor` in fanout already parallelizes sub-runs; auto-resolve happens inside each sub-run's thread, so resolve calls for different entities run concurrently.
- **Default count:** 2 peers (3-way). Confirmed.
### Deferred to Implementation
- Whether to expose a `--no-auto-resolve-competitors` flag for power users who want the fast, shallow behavior. Probably not needed v2; ship auto-resolve always-on and revisit if someone complains about cost.
- Whether to surface the per-entity resolution context back into the main topic's planner (cross-entity context sharing). Stays deferred.
- Whether the Resolved block should be collapsible or always inline. Start inline; revisit based on output length feedback.
## Implementation Units
- [ ] **Unit 1: Default `--competitors` to 2 peers**
**Goal:** Change the bare `--competitors` default from 3 to 2 per user feedback. `--competitors=N` still overrides; range 1..6 unchanged.
**Requirements:** R1
**Dependencies:** None
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py` (`COMPETITORS_DEFAULT`, `--competitors` const, stderr messages if any reference 3)
- Modify: `SKILL.md` Competitor mode section ("discovered 2-6" wording, bare-flag default line)
- Modify: `README.md` auto-discovered example line (if it references count)
- Test: `tests/test_cli_competitors.py`
**Approach:**
- Change `COMPETITORS_DEFAULT = 3``2` in `scripts/last30days.py`.
- Change argparse `--competitors` `const=3``const=2`.
- Update any SKILL.md / README copy referencing "3 peers" to "2 peers" (default) or "2-6 peers" (range).
**Patterns to follow:**
- Existing default constants in `scripts/last30days.py` argparse block.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: bare `--competitors` yields count=2, enabled=True, empty explicit_list.
- Edge case: `--competitors=3` still works (explicit override).
- Edge case: existing `test_bare_flag_defaults_to_three` test is updated to `test_bare_flag_defaults_to_two` and asserts count=2.
- Edge case: `--competitors=5` with a `--competitors-list` of length 2 still logs the mismatch warning and uses the list.
**Verification:**
- `pytest tests/test_cli_competitors.py -v` passes with the updated default.
- [ ] **Unit 2: Per-entity Step 0.55 resolution inside fanout**
**Goal:** Each competitor sub-run auto-resolves its own X handle, subreddits, GitHub user/repos, and news context via `resolve.auto_resolve()` before its `pipeline.run()` call — just like the main topic.
**Requirements:** R2
**Dependencies:** None (but Unit 3 should land together so sub-runs don't emit LAW 7 stderr while the resolution context is being passed)
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/lib/fanout.py`
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py` (`_competitor_runner` closure builds the resolved args)
- Test: `tests/test_competitor_fanout.py`
- Test: `tests/test_competitors_resolve_integration.py` (new; covers the auto-resolve path)
**Approach:**
- `_competitor_runner(entity)` in main() does:
1. Call `resolve.auto_resolve(entity, config)` when `not args.mock` and a web backend is configured (reuse `_has_backend`).
2. Extract resolved x_handle, subreddits, github_user, github_repos, context.
3. Pass them to `pipeline.run()` for that sub-run.
4. Inject resolved context into a per-entity config copy (so `_auto_resolve_context` does not leak across sub-runs — deep-copy the config or use a local dict).
5. Store the resolved block on the Report's `artifacts` so the renderer can surface it (Unit 4).
- When `args.mock` is True or no backend is available, skip auto-resolve (fall through to planner defaults, matching the existing `auto_resolve()` early-return contract).
- Update `fanout.run_competitor_fanout` docstring to note that auto-resolve happens inside the caller-provided runner.
**Execution note:** Start with a failing integration test that exercises two-entity fanout + auto-resolve via a mocked `resolve.auto_resolve` and asserts that `pipeline.run` receives the resolved x_handle/subreddits for each entity.
**Patterns to follow:**
- `scripts/last30days.py` main topic branch (`if args.auto_resolve and not external_plan`) already calls `resolve.auto_resolve` and propagates results — mirror the shape for competitors.
- Config isolation: `scripts/lib/pipeline.py:162-220` reads config as-is; use `dict(config)` to avoid cross-sub-run mutation of `_auto_resolve_context`.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: 3 entities, mocked `auto_resolve` returns distinct handles per entity; `pipeline.run` receives `x_handle=@drake` for Drake, `x_handle=@kendricklamar` for Kendrick, etc.
- Happy path: the main topic still uses the user-supplied `--x-handle` / `--subreddits` overrides (not overwritten by auto-resolve for the main). Competitors use their own auto-resolved values.
- Edge case: `--mock` skips auto-resolve entirely for all sub-runs (no `resolve.auto_resolve` calls).
- Edge case: `resolve.auto_resolve` returns empty dicts for one entity (low-signal topic) — the sub-run still executes with planner defaults; doesn't crash.
- Edge case: no web backend configured — auto-resolve returns empty for every entity, sub-runs fall through to planner defaults, no stack trace.
- Error path: `resolve.auto_resolve` raises — the sub-run logs a warning and continues with planner defaults (does not fail the whole comparison).
- Integration: config `_auto_resolve_context` from entity A does not leak into entity B's `pipeline.run`. Assert each sub-run gets its own context string.
**Verification:**
- New integration test passes.
- End-to-end smoke (mock mode + explicit list): each sub-run's stderr shows `[AutoResolve]` lines per entity with distinct values.
- [ ] **Unit 3: Suppress LAW 7 warning for engine-internal sub-runs**
**Goal:** The `[Planner] No --plan passed... deterministic fallback` warning does not fire during competitor sub-runs. LAW 7 is load-bearing for hosting-model contracts and must stay on the default path; this is an opt-in bypass for internal fan-out only.
**Requirements:** R3
**Dependencies:** Unit 2 (so the sub-run call site is already being modified)
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/lib/planner.py` (`plan_query` signature + conditional stderr)
- Modify: `scripts/lib/pipeline.py` (`run` signature + propagation)
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py` or `scripts/lib/fanout.py` (pass `internal_subrun=True` for competitor runners)
- Test: `tests/test_planner_v3.py` (or new `tests/test_planner_quiet_mode.py`)
- Test: `tests/test_competitor_fanout.py` (assert sub-runs don't emit LAW 7 stderr)
**Approach:**
- Add a keyword `internal_subrun: bool = False` to `planner.plan_query`. When True, skip the two `print(..., file=sys.stderr)` blocks that emit the LAW 7 banner and the `[Planner] No --plan passed` capability message.
- Add the same keyword to `pipeline.run()`; pass through to `plan_query`.
- In main()/fanout, set `internal_subrun=True` for every competitor sub-run's pipeline.run call. The main topic's pipeline.run keeps the default (LAW 7 stays on for the hosting-model path).
- Also suppress the LAW 7-triggered degraded-run warning block in the render layer for sub-reports when the envelope is going to be merged into a comparison output (or accept that the block is per-entity and surfaces once per entity).
**Patterns to follow:**
- Existing keyword-only parameters on `pipeline.run` (`mock`, `x_handle`, etc.).
- `planner.plan_query` signature is already keyword-only.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: `plan_query(..., internal_subrun=True, provider=None, model=None)` returns the deterministic fallback plan WITHOUT writing the LAW 7 stderr block.
- Happy path: `plan_query(...)` with default `internal_subrun=False` still writes the LAW 7 warning (unchanged behavior).
- Integration: end-to-end competitor fanout; assert captured stderr contains zero occurrences of `No --plan passed` and zero of `YOU ARE the planner`.
- Integration: main topic is not part of competitor mode; if the user invokes bare `/last30days OpenAI` without `--plan`, LAW 7 stderr fires exactly once (regression test).
**Verification:**
- Running the Kanye-style smoke test shows zero `[Planner] No --plan passed` lines for Drake / Kendrick / Travis sub-runs.
- [ ] **Unit 4: "Resolved entities" block in comparison output**
**Goal:** The rendered comparison output includes a visible block listing per-entity handles, subreddits, GitHub user, and resolved context. Answers "did it resolve everyone?" at a glance without reading stderr.
**Requirements:** R4
**Dependencies:** Unit 2 (needs resolved data on report artifacts)
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/lib/render.py` (`render_comparison_multi` and `render_comparison_multi_context`)
- Test: `tests/test_render_comparison_multi.py`
**Approach:**
- When each entity's `Report.artifacts` contains a `resolved` dict (populated by Unit 2), `render_comparison_multi` emits a `## Resolved Entities` block early in the EVIDENCE envelope:
```
## Resolved Entities
- **Kanye West**: X @kanyewest | Subs r/Kanye, r/hiphopheads | GitHub: — | Context: BULLY released, UK ban…
- **Drake**: X @Drake | Subs r/DrakeTheType, r/hiphopheads | GitHub: — | Context: ICEMAN rollout…
- **Kendrick Lamar**: X @kendricklamar | Subs r/KendrickLamar | GitHub: — | Context: Grammy wins, dormant…
```
- Missing fields render as `` not empty.
- When no entity has a `resolved` payload (mock mode, no web backend), omit the block entirely rather than emit an empty section.
- Context strings are truncated at 120 chars to keep the block scannable.
**Patterns to follow:**
- Existing `render_comparison_multi` envelope structure (lines ~395-480 in render.py).
- Existing per-entity evidence block format (`## {label}`) for consistency.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: 3 entities each with a `resolved` artifact → block lists all 3 with their fields.
- Happy path: 2 entities, one with full resolution, one with partial (x_handle only) → missing fields render as ``.
- Edge case: no entity has a resolved artifact → block is omitted entirely.
- Edge case: context string > 120 chars → truncated with ellipsis.
- Integration: rendered output passes through the same EVIDENCE envelope comments and synthesis contract (LAW 18 unchanged).
**Verification:**
- Snapshot tests confirm the block appears in the right spot with the right formatting.
- End-to-end smoke shows a realistic 3-entity Resolved block in the rendered output.
- [ ] **Unit 5: SKILL.md canonical-path self-check**
**Goal:** A top-of-file SKILL.md directive forces any reader (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Gemini) to verify they loaded from `plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/{VERSION}/SKILL.md` before proceeding. If loaded from `marketplaces/` or any other path, re-read from the pinned versioned cache.
**Requirements:** R5
**Dependencies:** None
**Files:**
- Modify: `SKILL.md` (prepend a STEP 0 block before the existing STEP 0 / LAW list)
**Approach:**
- Add a numbered first step at the top (before or bundled with existing "STEP 0: ToolSearch preload"):
```
## STEP 0: Canonical Path Self-Check (must run first)
Before reading anything else below, verify you loaded this SKILL.md from
the versioned cache, not the marketplace clone:
CANONICAL=$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/
CANONICAL_LATEST=$(ls -d "$CANONICAL"*/ 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1)
If the SKILL.md you just read is not under $CANONICAL_LATEST, STOP. Re-read
$CANONICAL_LATEST/SKILL.md and restart from here. Marketplace clones
(`plugins/marketplaces/last30days-skill/`) are pinned to origin/main and
can be stale; the versioned cache is the ground truth.
```
- Reinforce in the existing LAW 7 block that `--help` output must be read from the same pinned `SKILL_ROOT` to avoid flag-list skew.
**Patterns to follow:**
- Existing STEP 0 ToolSearch preload (top of SKILL.md) for tone / imperative voice.
- Existing `SKILL_ROOT` resolver snippet (line ~823).
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — SKILL.md is documentation; no unit test, verified by follow-up user invocation.
**Verification:**
- In a fresh Claude Code window, `/last30days Test --competitors` loads SKILL.md, the model executes the STEP 0 self-check, and (if it had loaded from marketplaces/) switches to the cache path before running `--help` or the engine. Observable via the model's announced reasoning / task list.
- [ ] **Unit 6: Version bump, CHANGELOG, sync**
**Goal:** Ship 3.0.12 and deploy to all local targets.
**Requirements:** R6
**Dependencies:** Units 1-5
**Files:**
- Modify: `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` (version 3.0.11 → 3.0.12)
- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
- Run: `bash scripts/sync.sh`
**Approach:**
- CHANGELOG entry under `## [3.0.12]` dated 2026-04-22 covering the four fixes (Fixed: per-entity resolution; Fixed: LAW 7 sub-run noise; Changed: default count 3→2; Added: Resolved entities block; Added: canonical-path self-check in SKILL.md).
- `sync.sh` deploys to `~/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill-private/...`, `~/.agents/`, `~/.codex/`, Hermes.
- Manual hot-copy to `~/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/3.0.12/` so the public `/last30days` slash command picks up the new version before PR merge (matches the 3.0.11 testing pattern).
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — packaging only. Verification is by inspection.
**Verification:**
- `grep version .claude-plugin/plugin.json` returns `3.0.12`.
- `sync.sh` exits 0 with "Import check: OK" for each target.
- Hot-copied 3.0.12 directory contains the new files and `/last30days` picks up the new version (highest-version resolver).
## System-Wide Impact
- **Interaction graph:** Fanout sub-runs now call `resolve.auto_resolve` per entity. Each sub-run is independent; no shared mutable state with other sub-runs or with the main topic.
- **Error propagation:** `auto_resolve` failures inside a sub-run log a warning and degrade to planner defaults; do not propagate up to abort the comparison. Same contract as today for the main topic.
- **State lifecycle risks:** Config dict is mutated by `auto_resolve` (via `config["_auto_resolve_context"]`). Must deep-copy per sub-run or scope context to a local mapping — otherwise two sub-runs' context strings race.
- **API surface parity:** `pipeline.run` gains a keyword (`internal_subrun`); callers that don't pass it get the existing behavior. `planner.plan_query` gains the same. Backward compatible.
- **Integration coverage:** New integration test for the fanout + auto-resolve + render chain. Existing snapshot tests update to include the Resolved block.
- **Unchanged invariants:** Single-entity `/last30days` invocations (no `--competitors`) behave identically. Explicit `A vs B` comparison topics behave identically. LAW 7 still fires on the default hosting-model path. `render_compact` path is untouched.
## Risks & Dependencies
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Auto-resolving per competitor triples the WebSearch call volume (4 queries × 3 competitors = 12 extra web searches). | Fast-fail when no backend; user can pass `--competitors-list` to skip discovery but still get auto-resolve. Cost note in CHANGELOG. |
| Config mutation across sub-runs via `_auto_resolve_context`. | Unit 2 deep-copies config per sub-run before each `auto_resolve` + `pipeline.run` call. Integration test asserts no cross-entity leak. |
| LAW 7 suppression leaks onto the hosting-model path via a wrong default. | Default `internal_subrun=False`. Only fanout's competitor sub-runs set True. Unit test asserts bare-topic invocation still emits LAW 7. |
| SKILL.md STEP 0 banner gets ignored by the model (same failure mode as line 823 today). | Put it in the guaranteed-read top band (before LAW 1, above all other content), imperative voice, concrete `STOP` verb. Still not bulletproof but strictly better than current. |
| Default count change breaks assumptions in downstream tools or existing user muscle memory. | Changelog calls it out as Changed; `--competitors=3` still works for users who want the old default. |
## Documentation / Operational Notes
- Beta channel first: merge behind `/last30days-beta` via the private repo before cherry-picking to public. Follows the same process as 3.0.11.
- Version 3.0.12 is a fix release; no marketing post required.
- After merge, add a line to the PR description pointing at this plan.

# fix: --competitors runs a full last30days per entity with hosting-model pre-resolve
## Overview
User intent confirmed 2026-04-22: `--competitors` should run a full single-entity `last30days` pipeline for the main topic AND for each discovered peer — three independent full-depth passes, each with its own Step 0.55 resolution, own X handle primary weight, own subreddit targeting, own GitHub repo scoping. Then merge them into the comparison output.
3.0.12 already built the N-parallel-pipelines orchestration (`scripts/lib/fanout.py`). What it got wrong: it tried to do per-entity Step 0.55 engine-side via `resolve.auto_resolve()`, which requires a web search backend key (BRAVE/EXA/SERPER/PARALLEL/OPENROUTER). Matt runs from Claude Code, which has its own WebSearch tool. The engine has none of those keys, so per-entity auto_resolve silently no-ops and all peer sub-runs fall through to deterministic single-word planner queries.
Four 2026-04-22 test runs (Warriors, Seattle, Arizona Wildcats, Kanye West) confirmed this via engine receipts:
- Compact Resolved Entities block shows peers as `X - | Subs - | GitHub - | Context: -`.
- Sub-run planner lines show `source=deterministic, subqueries=1` — the "I gave up and keyword-searched" shape.
- Engine footer keeps nudging `💡 You can unlock native grounded web search with BRAVE_API_KEY or SERPER_API_KEY`, which is wrong advice for a Claude Code user who already has WebSearch.
- Kanye run leaked main topic's `--subreddits` into Drake's and Kendrick's sub-runs (regression bug).
The fix is to flip the resolution responsibility: the hosting model (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Gemini) does Step 0.55 via its own WebSearch tool for every entity, then passes the resolved targeting to the engine via a new `--competitors-plan` JSON flag. Engine fan-out remains — each peer still runs a full `pipeline.run()`. The difference is the peers now arrive with full targeting, equivalent to the main topic, so retrieval is apples-to-apples.
Why not just reuse vs-mode? vs-mode is a SINGLE `pipeline.run()` with a comparison-optimized plan. It pre-resolves Step 0.55 per entity but merges everything into one retrieval pool with lower-weight `--x-related` for peers, merged subreddits, and cross-entity keyword noise. That is not "three full passes." The user explicitly wants three full passes.
## Problem Frame
3.0.12's architecture was correct; its data dependency was wrong.
| Capability | 3.0.12 path | Target path (this plan) |
|---|---|---|
| Fan out to N parallel pipelines | Yes (`fanout.run_competitor_fanout`) | Same — keep |
| Per-entity Step 0.55 resolution | Engine-internal `resolve.auto_resolve()` — needs BRAVE/EXA/SERPER/PARALLEL key | Hosting model does it via its own WebSearch, passes to engine |
| Per-entity targeting threaded into `pipeline.run()` | Main topic only via outer flags; peers via auto_resolve (failing) or nothing | Main topic via outer flags; peers via `--competitors-plan` JSON |
| Footer nudge | Unconditional BRAVE/SERPER | Suppressed when `--plan` or `--competitors-plan` present |
| Resolved Entities block in raw save file | Stdout only | Also in `--save-dir` raw file |
| Override-leak from main into peers | Present (Kanye receipt) | Fixed via explicit per-entity kwargs scrub |
| Polymarket noise on ambiguous topics | Present (Warriors, Arizona receipts) | `--polymarket-keywords` + auto-skip for single-token-ambiguous |
The key architectural change is who owns per-entity resolution. The engine stops trying to do it itself; the hosting model does it upstream (it already has WebSearch) and passes results in.
This is the same pattern `--plan` already uses for the main topic: hosting model generates the plan via its own reasoning, passes it in, engine accepts. We apply the pattern to peers.
## Requirements Trace
- R1. New `--competitors-plan` JSON flag accepting per-entity targeting: `x_handle`, `x_related`, `subreddits`, `github_user`, `github_repos`, `context`. Implies `--competitors`. Per-entity values thread into that entity's `pipeline.run()`. Bypasses engine-internal `auto_resolve` for covered entities.
- R2. SKILL.md "Competitor mode" rewritten to make the hosting-model path canonical: (a) discover N peers via WebSearch, (b) run Step 0.55 per entity (main + peers) via WebSearch, (c) assemble `--competitors-plan` JSON, (d) invoke engine. Engine-internal auto_resolve remains as headless fallback.
- R3. The LAW 7-style stderr emitted when `--competitors` has no list, no plan, no backend is reframed: leads with "hosting reasoning model, use your WebSearch to run Step 0.55 per entity and pass `--competitors-plan`." Does not lead with BRAVE_API_KEY.
- R4. Footer nudge `💡 You can unlock native grounded web search with BRAVE_API_KEY...` is suppressed when `--plan` OR `--competitors-plan` was passed. Signal: hosting model is driving and already has WebSearch.
- R5. Override-leak fix: competitor sub-runs do not inherit main topic's `--subreddits`, `--x-handle`, `--x-related`, `--tiktok-hashtags`, `--tiktok-creators`, `--ig-creators`, `--github-user`, `--github-repo`. Sub-runs use only their own per-entity targeting (from `--competitors-plan` if provided, else engine-internal auto_resolve if backend, else planner defaults).
- R6. The `## Resolved Entities` block is also appended to the saved raw file when `--save-dir` is in use. Each entity's effective targeting (whatever was actually passed to its `pipeline.run()`) is visible on audit.
- R6b. When `--save-dir` is in use with a comparison run, each entity's sub-run ALSO saves its own standalone raw file — same format as a single-entity run. `/last30days Kanye West --competitors` produces `kanye-west-raw.md`, `drake-raw.md`, `kendrick-lamar-raw.md` (one per entity) plus the merged comparison file. Matches the historical vs-mode behavior when it ran as N passes.
- R7. Polymarket disambiguation: support `--polymarket-keywords "kw1,kw2"` to filter market matches; auto-skip Polymarket when topic is single-token-ambiguous and no override is provided.
- R8. Default `--competitors` count remains 2 (3-way: main + 2 peers). Unchanged from 3.0.12.
## Scope Boundaries
- No changes to `scripts/lib/fanout.py` architecture. N parallel pipelines stays. Only the data each sub-run receives changes.
- No changes to the vs-mode (topic contains "vs" / "versus") behavior. That path is independent.
- No new emit modes. Comparison output format unchanged.
- No deprecation of `--competitors-list`. Stays as the minimum escape hatch for hosting models that skip per-entity Step 0.55 (names-only).
### Deferred to Separate Tasks
- Cache layer for hosting-model competitor resolution: separate plan once cost evidence exists.
- Cross-source disambiguation beyond Polymarket: separate plan.
## Context & Research
### Relevant Code and Patterns
- `scripts/last30days.py` — `--competitors` / `--competitors-list` argparse block, `resolve_competitors_args` validator, `_main_runner` closure, `_competitor_runner` closure, the `[Competitors] --competitors requires...` stderr block. Primary file for this plan.
- `scripts/lib/fanout.py` — `run_competitor_fanout` orchestrator. Signature unchanged; `_competitor_runner` closure now builds kwargs from `--competitors-plan`.
- `scripts/lib/pipeline.py` — `pipeline.run()` signature; no changes required (all per-entity flags already exist as kwargs).
- `scripts/lib/planner.py` — existing `--plan` parsing and validation, pattern to mirror for `--competitors-plan`.
- `scripts/lib/render.py` `_render_resolved_entities_block` (added in 3.0.12) — already reads `report.artifacts["resolved"]`; no change needed.
- `scripts/last30days.py` `save_output` / `render.render_full` — the save path. Needs to include the Resolved Entities block for comparison runs.
- `scripts/lib/quality_nudge.py` — where the BRAVE/SERPER footer nudge is emitted. Needs a context-aware suppression check.
- `scripts/lib/polymarket.py` — source adapter. Entry point for `--polymarket-keywords` filter and single-token-ambiguous auto-skip.
### Institutional Learnings
- 3.0.11 plan (`2026-04-22-002`): built the initial fanout, deferred per-entity resolve as "v1 simplification."
- 3.0.12 plan (`2026-04-22-003`): tried to close the gap via engine-internal `auto_resolve`. Works only with backend keys. Fails silently without.
- 2026-04-22 test session receipts: confirmed all four fixes in this plan are real, reproducible bugs.
- User's architectural steer 2026-04-22: "runs a full last30days on all 3 topics" — this plan encodes that explicitly as N full `pipeline.run()` calls with pre-resolved targeting per entity.
### External References
- None. All patterns in-repo.
## Key Technical Decisions
- **`--competitors-plan` is a single JSON flag, not a fan of separate flags.** Mirrors `--plan`. Stable schema: `{entity_name: {x_handle, x_related, subreddits, github_user, github_repos, context}}`. Accept inline JSON or a file path (matches `--plan`).
- **Hosting-model-driven resolution is the documented default.** Engine-internal `auto_resolve` is the headless / cron fallback. SKILL.md routes hosting models to the JSON-flag path; engine keeps auto_resolve alive for BRAVE/EXA/SERPER users running CI.
- **Override-leak fix is call-site scrubbing, not a signature change.** `_competitor_runner` builds an explicit kwargs dict per entity from `_subrun_kwargs(entity, plan_entry)`. No closure-default fallthrough from main scope. The 3.0.12 `entity_config = dict(config)` deep-copy pattern extends to every per-entity flag.
- **Footer nudge becomes context-aware.** Suppressed when `--plan` or `--competitors-plan` present. Not suppressed for bare `--competitors-list` or bare invocations. Headless cron without keys still sees the nudge.
- **Polymarket disambiguation is additive and conservative.** `--polymarket-keywords` is explicit; auto-skip only fires for a known list of single-token-ambiguous names (states, common nouns). Stderr notes the skip so it is observable and overridable.
- **Per-entity sub-runs get the full `pipeline.run()` pass.** Same depth, same sources, same API cost per entity as a single-topic run. This is the explicit user intent — three full passes, not one merged pass.
## Open Questions
### Resolved During Planning
- **JSON or multi-flag?** JSON. Matches `--plan`.
- **Default count?** 2 peers (3-way comparison). Unchanged from 3.0.12.
- **Does engine-internal auto_resolve stay alive?** Yes, for entities not covered by `--competitors-plan` when a backend is configured. Headless/cron users with keys keep the current 3.0.12 behavior.
- **vs-mode or fanout?** Fanout. User's explicit ask: three full passes, not one merged pass. vs-mode merges into one pipeline with lower peer weighting, which is not what the user wants.
- **Does the save file need per-entity clusters?** Start with the Resolved block appended. Per-entity cluster sections can follow in a separate task; they are nice-to-have, not blocking.
### Deferred to Implementation
- Exact trace of override-leak source. Candidates: closure capture of `subreddits` in `_competitor_runner`, shared `_auto_resolve_context` leak, Reddit adapter inheriting global config. Test-first; trace at implementation time.
- Heuristic for "single-token-ambiguous topic" auto-skip. Start with a short hard-coded list (US state names, US city names, common nouns like "Warriors", "Suns", "Jets"); revisit after dogfood.
- Whether per-entity coverage warnings fire when `--competitors-plan` under-resolves an entity (e.g., only `x_handle`, no subreddits). Start with stderr logging; revisit UX.
## Implementation Units
- [ ] **Unit 1: `--competitors-plan` JSON flag + per-entity kwargs threading**
**Goal:** New CLI flag accepting per-entity targeting JSON. Each covered entity's `pipeline.run()` receives its own `x_handle` / `x_related` / `subreddits` / `github_user` / `github_repos` / `context`. Skips engine-internal `auto_resolve` for covered entities.
**Requirements:** R1, R5 (primary leak fix site)
**Dependencies:** None
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py` (argparse + parse + `_competitor_runner`)
- Possibly modify: `scripts/lib/fanout.py` (no signature change expected; verify)
- Test: `tests/test_cli_competitors.py` (extend)
- Test: `tests/test_competitors_plan_threading.py` (new)
**Approach:**
- Add `--competitors-plan` argparse flag. Accepts inline JSON OR a file path (mirror `--plan`).
- Validation: parse JSON; must be a dict; each value must be a dict; unknown fields log warnings; malformed input exits 2.
- Schema per entity: optional fields `x_handle` (str), `x_related` (list), `subreddits` (list), `github_user` (str), `github_repos` (list), `context` (str).
- Case-insensitive matching against `--competitors-list` / discovered entities.
- Build `_subrun_kwargs(entity, plan_entry)` helper. Returns a complete, explicit kwargs dict for `pipeline.run()` with no closure-default fallthrough from main scope. This helper is the single source of truth for per-entity call args. It also fixes the override-leak (R5) by scrubbing all per-entity flags to None unless the plan (or auto_resolve) sets them.
- `_competitor_runner(entity)`:
1. Look up `plan_entry` from `--competitors-plan` (if any).
2. If plan covers entity fully, build kwargs from it; skip `auto_resolve`.
3. If plan partially covers or is absent, fall back to `auto_resolve` (3.0.12 behavior) when a backend is configured. Plan values win over auto_resolve values on conflict.
4. If neither plan nor backend, fall through to `pipeline.run()` with per-entity kwargs all None — engine uses planner defaults for that entity only (no leak).
- Deep-copy config per sub-run (already done in 3.0.12); merge per-entity `context` into `entity_config["_auto_resolve_context"]` only.
**Execution note:** Test-first for the override-leak regression (pass `--subreddits=A,B` on main + a peer, assert peer's `pipeline.run(subreddits=...)` is None or peer-specific).
**Patterns to follow:**
- `--plan` parsing at `scripts/last30days.py` (inline JSON or file path).
- 3.0.12's `_competitor_runner` closure for scope; extract the kwargs-build into `_subrun_kwargs` helper.
- `entity_config = dict(config)` deep-copy pattern from 3.0.12.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: `--competitors-plan '{"Drake": {"x_handle":"Drake","subreddits":["Drizzy"]}}'` → Drake's `pipeline.run` receives `x_handle="Drake"` and `subreddits=["Drizzy"]`; no `auto_resolve` call for Drake.
- Happy path: plan covers 2 of 3 entities, backend configured → covered entities skip auto_resolve; third falls back to auto_resolve.
- Happy path: plan file path accepted like `--plan` file path.
- Happy path: case-insensitive entity match (`Drake` in plan, `drake` in list).
- Edge case: unknown fields in plan entry → logged, ignored, run continues.
- Edge case: plan entry for entity not in list → ignored with warning.
- Error path: malformed JSON → exit 2.
- Error path: top-level JSON is list not dict → exit 2.
- Regression (leak fix): main `--subreddits=A,B` + `--competitors-list "Drake"` + no plan → Drake's `pipeline.run` receives `subreddits=None` (no leak).
- Regression (leak fix): same for `--x-handle`, `--x-related`, `--tiktok-*`, `--ig-creators`, `--github-*`.
- Regression (leak fix): main `--x-handle=kanyewest` + plan `{"Drake":{"x_handle":"Drake"}}` → Drake's sub-run gets `x_handle="Drake"`, NOT `"kanyewest"`.
- Integration: full main + 2 peers run via `--competitors-plan`; assert each sub-run's effective kwargs match expected per-entity values.
**Verification:**
- All new and regression tests pass.
- Smoke run (mock mode + `--competitors-plan`): stderr shows `[Competitors] Drake: x=@Drake subs=Drizzy` line per entity; no `[AutoResolve]` calls for plan-covered entities; no leak of main topic's flags.
- [ ] **Unit 2: Reframe LAW 7-style stderr for hosting-model context**
**Goal:** When `--competitors` has no `--competitors-list`, no `--competitors-plan`, and no backend, stderr tells the hosting reasoning model to use its WebSearch tool for Step 0.55 per entity and pass `--competitors-plan`. Stops leading with BRAVE_API_KEY.
**Requirements:** R3
**Dependencies:** Unit 1 (flag must exist)
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py` (the existing `[Competitors] --competitors requires...` block)
- Test: `tests/test_competitors_no_backend_message.py` (new)
**Approach:**
- Rewrite stderr in this order:
1. "If you are the hosting reasoning model (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Gemini, or any agent runtime with a WebSearch tool), YOU should: (a) discover N peers via WebSearch, (b) run Step 0.55 per entity (main + peers), (c) assemble a `--competitors-plan` JSON, (d) re-invoke. Skip this step and quality degrades — peer entities will run with planner defaults."
2. "If you are running headless (cron, CI, no hosting model), set BRAVE_API_KEY / EXA_API_KEY / SERPER_API_KEY / PARALLEL_API_KEY / OPENROUTER_API_KEY and re-run."
3. "Minimum escape hatch: `--competitors-list "A,B,C"` skips discovery but does not pre-resolve peers. Use only for quick tests."
- Exits non-zero as today.
**Patterns to follow:**
- Existing LAW 7 stderr in `planner.plan_query` for tone.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: stderr leads with "If you are the hosting reasoning model" and names `--competitors-plan` before any backend key.
- Happy path: stderr explicitly names `--competitors-plan` as the preferred override.
- Happy path: stderr does NOT say "requires either a configured web search backend OR an explicit --competitors-list" (the current 3.0.12 wording).
**Verification:**
- Test asserts ordering and required phrases.
- [ ] **Unit 3: Suppress BRAVE/SERPER footer nudge when hosting-model-driven**
**Goal:** The `💡 You can unlock native grounded web search with BRAVE_API_KEY or SERPER_API_KEY` footer is suppressed when `--plan` or `--competitors-plan` was passed (signal: hosting model is driving and already has WebSearch).
**Requirements:** R4
**Dependencies:** Unit 1
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/lib/quality_nudge.py` (or wherever nudge is emitted; verify during implementation)
- Test: `tests/test_footer_nudge_suppression.py` (new)
**Approach:**
- Locate the nudge emission point.
- Add a suppression check: if `--plan` OR `--competitors-plan` was passed, skip the nudge. Otherwise, current behavior.
- Don't suppress the nudge for bare `--competitors-list` alone — that path isn't necessarily hosting-model-driven.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: `--plan` passed, no backend → nudge does NOT fire.
- Happy path: `--competitors-plan` passed, no backend → nudge does NOT fire.
- Happy path: `--competitors-list` only, no backend → nudge fires (current behavior).
- Happy path: no `--competitors`, no `--plan`, no backend → nudge fires (current behavior unchanged).
**Verification:**
- All four scenarios produce expected nudge presence/absence.
- [ ] **Unit 4: Per-entity save files + Resolved block in each**
**Goal:** When `--save-dir` is in use with a comparison run, each entity's sub-run saves its own standalone raw file (same format as a single-entity run), and each file includes the `## Resolved Entities` block so audits can see what targeting that entity received. Matches the historical vs-mode behavior when it was N passes.
**Requirements:** R6, R6b
**Dependencies:** Unit 1
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py` (`save_output`, the save loop after fanout completes)
- Possibly modify: `scripts/lib/render.py` (`render_full` branch to include Resolved block when artifact is present)
- Test: `tests/test_save_raw_competitor_files.py` (new)
**Approach:**
- After fanout completes, iterate `report.artifacts["competitor_reports"]`. For each `(entity, entity_report)` tuple, call `save_output(entity_report, emit="md", save_dir=args.save_dir, suffix=args.save_suffix)` — same path a single-entity run takes.
- Each saved file uses its entity's slug as the filename (`drake-raw.md`, `kendrick-lamar-raw.md`). Main topic keeps the existing `kanye-west-raw.md` filename.
- Each file includes its own `## Resolved Entities` block (single-entity variant: one row for that entity only). This makes each sub-run's file self-describing — you can see what targeting was used without opening the comparison file.
- The merged comparison output (stdout) still includes the 3-row Resolved Entities block.
- Optional: also save a comparison summary file (e.g., `kanye-west-comparison-raw.md`) holding the merged multi-entity render. Start with per-entity files only; comparison summary is a follow-up if stdout-plus-individual-files is insufficient.
- Single-entity runs unchanged (no additional files, no block change).
**Patterns to follow:**
- Existing `save_output` invocation for single-entity runs (line 501 of current `scripts/last30days.py`).
- Existing slug generation (`slugify(topic)`) for filename consistency.
- `_render_resolved_entities_block` from 3.0.12 for the single-entity variant.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: `--competitors-list "Drake,Kendrick Lamar"` + `--save-dir=/tmp/x` → `/tmp/x/kanye-west-raw.md`, `/tmp/x/drake-raw.md`, `/tmp/x/kendrick-lamar-raw.md` all exist.
- Happy path: each peer file's first sections include that entity's Resolved Entities block with its own row only.
- Happy path: single-entity run with `--save-dir` → one file, unchanged from today's behavior.
- Edge case: entity slug collides with existing file → overwrite (matches single-entity behavior).
- Edge case: `--save-suffix=v3` → all 3 files get the suffix (`kanye-west-raw-v3.md`, `drake-raw-v3.md`, `kendrick-lamar-raw-v3.md`).
- Edge case: comparison run with one peer whose sub-run failed → that entity's file is NOT saved; others are.
- Integration: stderr after save shows three `[last30days] Saved output to <path>` lines, one per entity.
**Verification:**
- After `/last30days Kanye West --competitors-list "Drake,Kendrick Lamar" --save-dir=/tmp/x`: `ls /tmp/x/*-raw.md` shows 3 files. Each contains its entity's Resolved block.
- [ ] **Unit 5: SKILL.md "Competitor mode" rewrite — hosting-model Step 0.55 canonical**
**Goal:** SKILL.md documents the hosting-model-driven path as canonical: discover N peers via WebSearch, run Step 0.55 per entity, assemble `--competitors-plan`, invoke engine. Engine-internal `auto_resolve` is labeled the headless fallback.
**Requirements:** R2
**Dependencies:** Unit 1 (flag must exist before documented)
**Files:**
- Modify: `SKILL.md` (Competitor mode subsection)
- Modify: `README.md` (one-line example update)
**Approach:**
- Replace the 3.0.12 Competitor mode subsection with a clear flow:
1. User invokes with `--competitors` or `--competitors=N`.
2. Hosting model runs WebSearch for "[topic] competitors" / "[topic] alternatives" → picks top N peers.
3. Hosting model runs Step 0.55 for main + each peer (x_handle, subreddits, github_user, github_repos, context) — same protocol as vs-mode per SKILL.md §679.
4. Hosting model assembles a `--competitors-plan` JSON object.
5. Hosting model invokes the engine with `--competitors-list "A,B,C" --competitors-plan '{...}'`.
6. Engine fans out N full pipelines (main + peers), each with its own full Step 0.55-grade targeting. Each entity also saves its own `*-raw.md` file when `--save-dir` is set (three full passes → three save files, matching the historical vs-mode behavior). Comparison output merges them for display.
- Concrete JSON example in SKILL.md showing the schema.
- Failure-mode warning: a `## Resolved Entities` block with dashes for any entity means hosting model skipped Step 0.55 for that one. Re-run with corrected plan.
- "Headless fallback" sub-subsection: when BRAVE/EXA/SERPER/PARALLEL/OPENROUTER is set, engine's internal `auto_resolve` handles peers and `--competitors-plan` is optional.
**Patterns to follow:**
- SKILL.md "Step 0.55" section for per-entity resolve protocol.
- SKILL.md "If QUERY_TYPE = COMPARISON" section for the same-protocol-as-vs-mode reference.
- Tone of existing 3.0.12 Competitor mode prose.
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — documentation. Verification is a fresh Claude Code window dogfood run.
**Verification:**
- `/last30days Kanye West --competitors` in a new window: hosting model does Step 0.55 for Kanye + 2 discovered peers; passes `--competitors-plan`; rendered Resolved block shows non-empty fields for all 3; top voices include at least one peer-specific handle.
- [ ] **Unit 6: Polymarket disambiguation guard**
**Goal:** Support `--polymarket-keywords "kw1,kw2"` to filter market matches; auto-skip Polymarket when topic is single-token-ambiguous and no override is provided.
**Requirements:** R7
**Dependencies:** None
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py` argparse (`--polymarket-keywords`)
- Modify: `scripts/lib/polymarket.py`
- Test: `tests/test_polymarket_disambiguation.py` (new)
**Approach:**
- Add `--polymarket-keywords "kw1,kw2"` flag. When provided, Polymarket adapter filters market titles to those whose normalized text contains at least one keyword.
- Auto-skip rule: if topic is one token AND token matches a known-ambiguous list (US state names, US city names, common sports/color/animal words) AND no `--polymarket-keywords` provided, skip Polymarket with a stderr note.
- SKILL.md Step 0.55 protocol gets a small addition: for ambiguous topics, hosting model passes `--polymarket-keywords` with topic-specific qualifiers.
**Patterns to follow:**
- Existing Polymarket adapter match logic.
- Single-token detection heuristic.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: topic "Warriors", no override → Polymarket skipped; stderr notes the skip.
- Happy path: topic "Warriors", `--polymarket-keywords "nba,gsw"` → Polymarket runs; matches filtered.
- Happy path: topic "OpenAI" (no ambiguity) → Polymarket runs as before.
- Happy path: topic "Arizona Wildcats" (multi-token) → Polymarket runs as before.
- Edge case: `--polymarket-keywords ""` → treated as empty, no filter.
**Verification:**
- Warriors smoke run → Polymarket footer absent OR filtered to nba/gsw markets.
- [ ] **Unit 7: Version 3.0.13, CHANGELOG, sync, hot-copy**
**Goal:** Ship 3.0.13 to all local targets.
**Requirements:** Closes R1-R7
**Dependencies:** Units 1-6
**Files:**
- Modify: `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`
- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
- Run: `bash scripts/sync.sh`
- Hot-copy: `~/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/3.0.13/`
**Approach:**
- CHANGELOG entry groups the fixes: Added `--competitors-plan` JSON flag for per-entity hosting-model pre-resolve. Fixed override-leak from main into peer sub-runs. Changed: LAW 7 stderr framing for hosting-model context. Changed: BRAVE/SERPER footer nudge suppressed when `--plan` / `--competitors-plan` is present. Added: Resolved Entities block persists to saved raw file. Added: `--polymarket-keywords` + auto-skip for ambiguous single-token topics.
- Beta channel first per CLAUDE.md.
- Hot-copy so public `/last30days` picks up 3.0.13 immediately.
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — packaging.
**Verification:**
- `grep version .claude-plugin/plugin.json` returns 3.0.13.
- `sync.sh` exits 0.
- Hot-copy contains the new files with competitors.py, fanout.py, the updated SKILL.md, and plugin.json 3.0.13.
## System-Wide Impact
- **Interaction graph:** `_competitor_runner` becomes the single source of truth for sub-run kwargs via `_subrun_kwargs(entity, plan_entry)`. Every per-entity flag flows through one helper. No closure-default leaks.
- **Error propagation:** `--competitors-plan` JSON parse errors exit 2 with stderr (same as `--plan`). Per-entity plan entries with malformed values log warnings and fall back; don't abort the whole run.
- **State lifecycle risks:** `entity_config = dict(config)` already deep-copies for `_auto_resolve_context`; extend the isolation discipline to every per-entity flag. Verified in Unit 1 regression tests.
- **API surface parity:** `--competitors-plan` is additive. `--competitors` and `--competitors-list` unchanged. `--plan` unchanged. `--polymarket-keywords` additive.
- **Integration coverage:** New regression tests for override-leak. New integration test for plan-driven sub-run threading. New nudge-suppression test. New Polymarket disambiguation test.
- **Unchanged invariants:** `pipeline.run()` signature unchanged. `planner.plan_query` LAW 7 behavior for the default path unchanged. Single-entity render path unchanged. vs-mode behavior unchanged.
## Risks & Dependencies
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Hosting model takes the lazy path and uses `--competitors-list` names-only. | Unit 2 stderr explicitly steers to `--competitors-plan` with Step 0.55 protocol named. Unit 5 SKILL.md docs. Resolved Entities dashes in output make the gap visible. |
| JSON gets verbose for the hosting model to construct repeatedly. | Schema is small (≤6 fields per entity). Hosting model already runs Step 0.55 for main topic in every comparison run; peers use the same protocol. One JSON block replaces N CLI flags. |
| Override-leak source is deeper than `_competitor_runner` closure. | Test-first per Unit 1. Receipts from 2026-04-22 Kanye run are reproducible. Trace methodically from call site. |
| Plan-covered entity bypasses auto_resolve but plan data is incomplete (e.g., no subreddits). | Hosting model's own SKILL.md contract says Step 0.55 must cover all fields. Stderr logs per-entity coverage so under-resolved entities are visible. Next-run correction, not engine-side rescue. |
| Polymarket auto-skip false-positives on legitimate ambiguous topics with real markets. | Conservative match (single-token + known list). `--polymarket-keywords` override is explicit and unambiguous. Stderr notes the skip. |
| Footer nudge suppression hides the message from headless users who genuinely need it. | Suppression only fires when `--plan` or `--competitors-plan` is present. Cron / CI runs that pass neither still see the nudge. |
## Documentation / Operational Notes
- Beta channel first per CLAUDE.md (private repo `/last30days-beta`).
- After merge: hot-copy to `~/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/3.0.13/`.
- CHANGELOG voice should call this out as the feedback-driven follow-up to 3.0.12. Reader should see "we tried engine-internal resolve in 3.0.12; it needs backend keys we don't have; we moved resolution to the hosting model in 3.0.13."

# feat: vs mode runs N full passes and --competitors is vs with auto-discovery
## Overview
Architectural unification driven by user correction 2026-04-22: vs mode and `--competitors` are the same thing. A user typing `/last30days OpenAI vs Anthropic vs xAI` should get a full single-entity last30days pass for each of the three entities — three full pipelines, three saved `*-raw.md` files, merged into one comparison output. A user typing `/last30days OpenAI --competitors` should get the same output after the hosting model auto-picks 2 peers; i.e., `--competitors` is a thin shortcut that expands "topic + `--competitors`" into "topic vs peer1 vs peer2" and then runs the unified vs pipeline.
Current state diverges from this:
- **vs mode today**: one `pipeline.run()` with a comparison-optimized plan that merges all entities' targeting into a single retrieval pool. Lower-weight `--x-related` for peers, merged subreddits, cross-entity keyword noise. One saved file.
- **`--competitors` today (3.0.12)**: N parallel `pipeline.run()` calls via `scripts/lib/fanout.py`, but per-entity Step 0.55 depends on an engine-side web backend key Matt doesn't have. Silently degrades to planner defaults for peers. One saved file (main topic only). Override-leak from main into peers.
After this plan:
- **vs mode**: N parallel `pipeline.run()` calls, one per entity, each with its own full Step 0.55-grade targeting, each saving its own `*-raw.md`. Merged into one comparison output.
- **`--competitors`**: SKILL.md shortcut. Hosting model discovers N peers, builds `"topic vs peer1 vs peer2"`, and invokes the same vs pipeline. No separate orchestration path.
- **Same fanout machinery (`scripts/lib/fanout.py`)** serves both. One fix, both behaviors improve.
## Problem Frame
The product insight from 2026-04-22 test runs is simple: the user wants three full last30days reports plus a comparison merge. Not one comparison pass with N-way targeting merged into a single retrieval pool. Not one save file. Not "main gets Step 0.55, peers get planner defaults." Three full passes. Three save files. Merged output.
The historical vs mode did that (it ran as 3 passes, saving 3 files). SKILL.md §551 currently says:
> "When the user asks 'X vs Y', run ONE research pass with a comparison-optimized plan that covers both entities AND their rivalry. This replaces the old 3-pass approach (which took 13+ minutes and produced tangential content)."
That change was a latency optimization that removed the user-visible behavior the user wants. The fix is to revert the architectural direction: N passes per entity, in parallel rather than serial (parallelism lowers wall-clock to ~1× a single pass, not N×), with per-entity save files.
The 3.0.11 `--competitors` flag already introduced parallel N-pass machinery (`fanout.run_competitor_fanout`). The 3.0.12 follow-up tried to wire per-entity Step 0.55 into it but failed when no web backend was configured. The elegant move: stop maintaining two architectures. vs-mode and `--competitors` both use `fanout.py`. `--competitors` becomes a SKILL.md-level shortcut that discovers 2 peers and hands off to vs-mode.
Four 2026-04-22 test receipts (Warriors, Seattle, Arizona Wildcats, Kanye West) all confirmed the user's pain points:
- Peers thin because they ran without per-entity handle/sub targeting.
- Only one `*-raw.md` per run — no per-entity audit.
- Kanye peers leaked main topic's `--subreddits`.
- Engine footer nudging `BRAVE_API_KEY` to Claude Code users who already have WebSearch.
- Polymarket noise on ambiguous topics (Warriors → Glasgow rugby; Arizona → Diamondbacks).
This plan closes all of them by unifying the architecture and making hosting-model-driven Step 0.55 per entity the canonical path.
## Requirements Trace
- R1. vs mode (any topic containing ` vs ` / ` versus `) runs N full `pipeline.run()` calls in parallel, one per entity. Each sub-run uses its entity's own Step 0.55 targeting (from the hosting model's pre-resolution, passed via a new `--competitors-plan` JSON).
- R2. `--competitors` (and `--competitors=N`) becomes a SKILL.md-level shortcut: the hosting model (a) discovers N peers via WebSearch, (b) runs Step 0.55 per entity (main + peers), (c) rewrites the topic to `"main vs peer1 vs peer2"`, (d) invokes the engine with `--competitors-plan` containing each entity's targeting.
- R3. New `--competitors-plan` JSON flag. Schema: `{entity_name: {x_handle, x_related, subreddits, github_user, github_repos, context}}`. Implies vs mode when present with a single-entity topic. Applies per-entity targeting to each sub-run. Accepts inline JSON or a file path (matches `--plan`).
- R4. Each entity's sub-run saves its own `*-raw.md` file when `--save-dir` is in use. Example: `/last30days "Kanye West vs Drake vs Kendrick Lamar" --save-dir=~/Documents/Last30Days` produces `kanye-west-raw.md`, `drake-raw.md`, `kendrick-lamar-raw.md`. Same filenames a single-entity run of each topic would produce. Matches historical vs-mode behavior.
- R5. Each per-entity saved file includes its own single-row `## Resolved Entities` block so the audit survives. The merged comparison stdout still shows the full 3-row block.
- R6. Override-leak fix: no main-topic flags (`--subreddits`, `--x-handle`, `--x-related`, `--tiktok-*`, `--ig-creators`, `--github-*`) leak into peer sub-runs. Every per-entity kwarg is scrubbed at the sub-run call site.
- R7. LAW 7-style stderr for `--competitors` invocations with no list, no plan, no backend is reframed for hosting-model context: leads with "use your WebSearch to discover peers, resolve Step 0.55 per entity, re-invoke with `topic vs peer1 vs peer2 --competitors-plan '...'`." Does not lead with BRAVE_API_KEY.
- R8. Footer nudge `💡 You can unlock native grounded web search with BRAVE_API_KEY...` is suppressed when `--plan` or `--competitors-plan` was passed.
- R9. Polymarket disambiguation: support `--polymarket-keywords "kw1,kw2"` to filter market matches; auto-skip Polymarket when topic is single-token-ambiguous and no override is provided.
- R10. Default `--competitors` count stays 2 peers (3-way comparison). Unchanged from 3.0.12.
## Scope Boundaries
- No changes to single-entity `pipeline.run()` semantics. Each sub-run in vs mode behaves identically to a bare `/last30days {entity}` invocation.
- No changes to the planner's comparison-intent logic for single-entity-containing topics. The `_should_force_deterministic_plan` shortcut for vs-topics routes to fanout, not to its current single-pipeline path.
- No new emit modes. Comparison output format unchanged.
- No removal of `--competitors-list`. Stays as a minimum escape hatch (names-only, no per-entity targeting) for scripted headless use.
- No removal of engine-internal `resolve.auto_resolve()` in fanout. Remains as headless / cron fallback for users with BRAVE/EXA/SERPER/PARALLEL/OPENROUTER keys. The dominant Claude Code path bypasses it via `--competitors-plan`.
### Deferred to Separate Tasks
- Explicit "head-to-head" rivalry pass in vs-mode (a supplemental subquery like `"A vs B"` that catches rivalry articles missing from pure entity-scoped passes). Start with N independent passes; add a head-to-head supplemental pass if the rivalry-content gap shows up in dogfood.
- Cache layer for hosting-model pre-resolution.
- Cross-source disambiguation (not just Polymarket).
- Latency knob for users who want the old one-pass vs behavior (probably not needed; parallel N-pass is ~1× wall clock).
## Context & Research
### Relevant Code and Patterns
- `scripts/last30days.py` — main(), `_main_runner`, `_competitor_runner`, the competitor enable/discovery branch. Primary file.
- `scripts/lib/fanout.py` — existing orchestrator (3.0.11). Reused as-is; `competitor_runner` closure is where per-entity kwargs apply.
- `scripts/lib/planner.py``_should_force_deterministic_plan` detects vs-topics via regex. Current path synthesizes ONE comparison plan; new path routes to fanout.
- `scripts/lib/render.py``render_comparison_multi` (3.0.12) + `_render_resolved_entities_block`. Both reused. `render_full` needs a per-entity variant when saving sub-run files.
- `scripts/last30days.py` `save_output` — where raw files are written. Needs to iterate per entity when competitor_reports artifact present.
- `scripts/lib/quality_nudge.py` — BRAVE/SERPER nudge emission.
- `scripts/lib/polymarket.py` — source adapter for `--polymarket-keywords` and ambiguous-topic auto-skip.
- SKILL.md §551 "If QUERY_TYPE = COMPARISON" and §679 per-entity Step 0.55 protocol — the hosting-model contract that drives per-entity pre-resolution for both vs mode and `--competitors`.
### Institutional Learnings
- 3.0.11 plan (`2026-04-22-002`): built fanout.
- 3.0.12 plan (`2026-04-22-003`): tried engine-internal per-entity auto_resolve; failed without backend keys.
- 3.0.13 plan draft (`2026-04-22-004-...superseded`): proposed `--competitors-plan` JSON + vs-mode-shortcut path but kept them separate. User's 2026-04-22 correction unifies them.
- 2026-04-22 test receipts: Warriors, Seattle, Arizona Wildcats, Kanye West runs all reproduced the per-entity resolve gap.
- User's architectural steer: "vs mode should work that way too" + "--competitors is just vs mode with auto-discovery." This plan encodes that.
### External References
- None. All patterns in-repo.
## Key Technical Decisions
- **Unify vs-mode and --competitors on one orchestrator.** `fanout.run_competitor_fanout` serves both. vs-mode is "topic contains ' vs '" detection → fanout. `--competitors` is "SKILL.md shortcut → hosting model rewrites topic to vs form → fanout." One code path.
- **Per-entity targeting via `--competitors-plan` JSON.** Schema `{entity_name: {x_handle, x_related, subreddits, github_user, github_repos, context}}`. Mirrors `--plan`. Applies to both vs-mode and `--competitors` paths. Hosting model passes it after running Step 0.55 per entity.
- **N save files, one per entity.** Each sub-run writes a `{entity-slug}-raw.md` file when `--save-dir` is set. Matches historical vs-mode behavior. Single-entity runs unchanged.
- **Revert the "one pass for latency" optimization that removed per-entity passes.** Parallel execution via `ThreadPoolExecutor` means wall-clock is ~max(per-entity-latency), not sum. The old latency concern (13+ minutes for 3 serial passes) does not apply to a parallel fan-out.
- **Override-leak fix at the call site.** `_subrun_kwargs(entity, plan_entry)` helper returns fully explicit per-entity kwargs; no closure-default fallthrough from main scope.
- **LAW 7 stderr reframed, not just updated.** Current message treats BRAVE_API_KEY as the solution. New message treats hosting-model Step 0.55 as the solution, with backend keys listed only as the headless fallback.
- **Polymarket disambiguation is additive and conservative.** `--polymarket-keywords` is explicit; auto-skip only fires for a known-ambiguous single-token list.
## Open Questions
### Resolved During Planning
- **vs mode N passes or single-pass?** N passes. User's architectural correction.
- **Should --competitors still be an engine flag at all?** Yes, kept for headless / cron contexts with backend keys. Dominant Claude Code path is SKILL.md shortcut → vs-mode fanout. Engine flag stays as compatibility surface.
- **`--competitors-plan` JSON or multi-flag?** JSON. Matches `--plan`.
- **Default count?** 2 peers → 3-way comparison. Unchanged.
- **Saved-file naming?** `{entity-slug}-raw.md` per entity, same as single-entity runs would produce.
### Deferred to Implementation
- Exact trace of override-leak path (closure capture vs shared config vs Reddit adapter fallback). Test-first per Unit 2; patch at the right layer.
- Heuristic for single-token-ambiguous Polymarket auto-skip. Start with a short hard-coded list; iterate.
- Whether to include a head-to-head rivalry supplemental pass in vs-mode. Ship N-independent passes first; revisit after dogfood if rivalry content is missing.
- Exact filename convention when the comparison merged output is saved (if saved at all). Not blocking — per-entity files are the primary save artifact.
## High-Level Technical Design
> *This illustrates the intended approach and is directional guidance for review, not implementation specification. The implementing agent should treat it as context, not code to reproduce.*
```
User invokes:
/last30days "OpenAI vs Anthropic vs xAI"
OR
/last30days OpenAI --competitors (hosting model rewrites to vs form)
OR

OR
/last30days "OpenAI vs Anthropic vs xAI" --competitors-plan '{...per-entity...}'
scripts/last30days.py main():
- Detect: topic has " vs " OR --competitors enabled
- If --competitors and no list/plan: emit LAW 7-style stderr with hosting-model instruction
- If --competitors with list or discovery: rewrite topic to vs form, continue
- Parse --competitors-plan JSON, map to entities
fanout.run_competitor_fanout (shared path):
- For each entity (main + peers):
- entity_config = dict(config) [deep copy to prevent leak]
- kwargs = _subrun_kwargs(entity, plan_entry) [explicit; no main-topic leak]
- If plan_entry missing a field AND backend available: auto_resolve() fill
- pipeline.run(topic=entity, **kwargs, internal_subrun=True)
- Parallel ThreadPoolExecutor
- Collect per-entity Reports
- Attach resolved targeting to each Report.artifacts["resolved"]
scripts/last30days.py after fanout:
- If --save-dir: save each entity's Report as {entity-slug}-raw.md
Each file includes its own single-row Resolved Entities block
- emit_comparison_output → render_comparison_multi (merged stdout)
Includes full N-row Resolved Entities block
```
## Implementation Units
- [ ] **Unit 1: vs-topic detection routes to fanout (not single-pipeline)**
**Goal:** A topic containing ` vs ` / ` versus ` triggers `fanout.run_competitor_fanout` with the parsed entities. Each entity runs a full `pipeline.run()`. Replace the current single-pipeline-with-comparison-plan behavior.
**Requirements:** R1
**Dependencies:** None
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py` (main() — detect vs-topic, route to fanout)
- Modify: `scripts/lib/planner.py` (remove / bypass the `_should_force_deterministic_plan` special case for vs topics; vs topics no longer go through `plan_query` as a single comparison plan)
- Test: `tests/test_vs_mode_fanout.py` (new)
**Approach:**
- Parse the incoming topic: if it contains ` vs ` or ` versus ` (case-insensitive), split into entities (reuse `planner._comparison_entities`-style logic or move that utility into main()).
- When vs-entities are detected, route to the same fanout branch `--competitors` uses today. The entity list comes from the topic string; no discovery step needed.
- Each entity runs `pipeline.run()` with its own plan (either from `--competitors-plan[entity]` or from the engine's per-entity fallback path).
- For back-compat, if the user passes both a vs-topic AND `--plan`, honor `--plan` for the main (first) entity and use per-entity defaults for peers unless `--competitors-plan` is also provided.
**Execution note:** Start with an integration test that runs `"A vs B"` via mock mode and asserts fanout was called with two entities + two pipeline.run calls.
**Patterns to follow:**
- 3.0.11 fanout wiring in `scripts/last30days.py`'s `--competitors` branch.
- `planner._comparison_entities` for the split logic.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: topic `"A vs B"` → two pipeline.run calls, two Reports returned, merged render.
- Happy path: topic `"A vs B vs C"` → three pipeline.run calls.
- Happy path: topic `"A versus B"` → matches the same regex, two pipelines.
- Edge case: topic `"OpenAI vs"` (trailing empty entity) → treated as single-entity `"OpenAI"`, not vs mode.
- Edge case: topic contains "vs." (dot, no trailing space) → existing regex tolerates it; verify.
- Edge case: topic `"A vs B"` plus `--plan` → plan applies to first entity only, peers use per-entity defaults.
- Integration: full vs-mode run end-to-end in mock mode; verify rendered output, stderr has one `[Competitors] Comparing: A vs B vs ...` line.
**Verification:**
- Test assertions pass.
- Mock-mode smoke of `/last30days "OpenAI vs Anthropic"` shows fanout invocation, per-entity Reports, merged comparison output.
- [ ] **Unit 2: `--competitors-plan` JSON flag + `_subrun_kwargs` helper + override-leak fix**
**Goal:** New JSON flag threads per-entity targeting into each sub-run's `pipeline.run()`. A `_subrun_kwargs(entity, plan_entry)` helper is the single source of truth for per-entity kwargs, eliminating override-leak.
**Requirements:** R3, R6
**Dependencies:** None (can land alongside or before Unit 1)
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py` (argparse + parse + `_competitor_runner` + `_subrun_kwargs` helper)
- Possibly modify: `scripts/lib/fanout.py` (no signature change expected; the competitor_runner contract is unchanged)
- Test: `tests/test_cli_competitors.py` (extend)
- Test: `tests/test_competitors_plan_threading.py` (new)
- Test: `tests/test_competitor_subrun_isolation.py` (new, regression)
**Approach:**
- Add `--competitors-plan` argparse flag. Accepts inline JSON or file path (mirror `--plan`).
- Validation: top-level dict; each value is a dict; unknown fields log warnings; malformed input exits 2. Case-insensitive entity matching.
- Schema: `{entity_name: {x_handle?, x_related?, subreddits?, github_user?, github_repos?, context?}}`.
- Build `_subrun_kwargs(entity, plan_entry)` — returns an explicit dict with every per-entity flag. No closure-default fallthrough. This is the leak fix.
- `_competitor_runner(entity)`:
1. Get `plan_entry` from `--competitors-plan` if present.
2. Build base kwargs with `_subrun_kwargs(entity, plan_entry)`.
3. Fill missing fields via `resolve.auto_resolve(entity, entity_config)` only if backend is configured (3.0.12 fallback path).
4. Call `pipeline.run(topic=entity, internal_subrun=True, **kwargs)`.
5. Attach `resolved` dict to `report.artifacts`.
- Verify no per-entity flag from main() leaks via closure. The helper is the only source of per-entity values.
**Execution note:** Test-first for the override-leak regression. Use the Kanye 2026-04-22 receipt as the failing test input (main `--subreddits=Kanye,hiphopheads` + `--competitors-list "Drake"` → assert Drake's pipeline.run receives `subreddits=None`).
**Patterns to follow:**
- `--plan` parsing block in `scripts/last30days.py`.
- 3.0.12's `entity_config = dict(config)` deep-copy pattern.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: `--competitors-plan '{"Drake":{"x_handle":"Drake","subreddits":["Drizzy"]}}'` → Drake's pipeline.run receives `x_handle="Drake"`, `subreddits=["Drizzy"]`. No auto_resolve call for Drake.
- Happy path: plan covers 2 of 3 entities, backend configured → covered skip auto_resolve; third falls back.
- Happy path: plan file path accepted like `--plan`.
- Happy path: case-insensitive entity match.
- Edge case: unknown fields → warn, ignore.
- Edge case: plan entry for entity not in list → warn, ignore.
- Error path: malformed JSON → exit 2.
- Error path: top-level JSON is list → exit 2.
- Regression (leak): main `--subreddits=A,B` + `--competitors-list "X"` + no plan → X's pipeline.run gets `subreddits=None`.
- Regression (leak): same for `--x-handle`, `--x-related`, `--tiktok-hashtags`, `--tiktok-creators`, `--ig-creators`, `--github-user`, `--github-repo`.
- Regression (leak): main `--x-handle=kanye` + plan `{"Drake":{"x_handle":"Drake"}}` → Drake's sub-run gets `x_handle="Drake"`, NOT `"kanye"`.
**Verification:**
- All regression tests pass.
- Smoke run (mock mode + plan): stderr shows per-entity `[Competitors] {entity}: x=... subs=...` line; no leak from main topic's flags.
- [ ] **Unit 3: Per-entity save files**
**Goal:** When `--save-dir` is set in a vs-mode or `--competitors` run, each entity's sub-run saves its own `{entity-slug}-raw.md` file — same format as a single-entity run would produce.
**Requirements:** R4, R5
**Dependencies:** Unit 1, Unit 2
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py` (`save_output` iteration after fanout)
- Modify: `scripts/lib/render.py` (`render_full` includes single-row Resolved Entities block when that entity's `artifacts["resolved"]` is present)
- Test: `tests/test_save_raw_per_entity.py` (new)
**Approach:**
- After fanout completes, iterate `report.artifacts["competitor_reports"]` (or equivalent). For each `(entity, entity_report)`:
- Call `save_output(entity_report, emit="md", save_dir=args.save_dir, suffix=args.save_suffix)`.
- Uses entity's `slugify(entity)` for the filename. Same pattern a single-entity run uses.
- Each saved file invokes `render_full` (or the save-variant). `render_full` now checks for `report.artifacts["resolved"]` and prepends a single-row Resolved Entities block.
- Stderr logs one `[last30days] Saved output to <path>` line per entity.
- Single-entity runs unchanged (no extra files, render_full unchanged for them).
**Patterns to follow:**
- Existing `save_output` invocation in main() for single-entity runs.
- `slugify(topic)` for filename.
- 3.0.12's `_render_resolved_entities_block` (reused, single-row mode).
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: `/last30days "A vs B vs C" --save-dir=/tmp/x``/tmp/x/a-raw.md`, `/tmp/x/b-raw.md`, `/tmp/x/c-raw.md` exist.
- Happy path: `--competitors-list "Drake,Kendrick" --save-dir=/tmp/x` on topic Kanye → three files: `kanye-west-raw.md`, `drake-raw.md`, `kendrick-lamar-raw.md`.
- Happy path: each file includes a single-row Resolved Entities block for its entity.
- Happy path: single-entity run with `--save-dir` → one file, no Resolved block (unchanged).
- Edge case: `--save-suffix=v3` → all N files get the suffix.
- Edge case: one entity sub-run failed → its file is NOT saved; the others are.
- Integration: `ls {save-dir}/*-raw.md` returns N files after a vs-mode run.
**Verification:**
- Test assertions pass.
- Manual vs-mode smoke saves N files.
- [ ] **Unit 4: LAW 7-style stderr reframe + footer-nudge suppression**
**Goal:** The `--competitors`-with-no-backend stderr tells the hosting model to do Step 0.55 per entity and pass `--competitors-plan`. The BRAVE/SERPER footer nudge is suppressed when `--plan` or `--competitors-plan` is present.
**Requirements:** R7, R8
**Dependencies:** Unit 2 (flag must exist)
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py` (the `[Competitors] --competitors requires...` stderr block)
- Modify: `scripts/lib/quality_nudge.py` (or wherever footer nudge emits; verify during implementation)
- Test: `tests/test_competitors_no_backend_message.py` (new)
- Test: `tests/test_footer_nudge_suppression.py` (new)
**Approach:**
- Rewrite stderr in this order:
1. "If you are the hosting reasoning model (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Gemini, or any agent with WebSearch), the recommended path: (a) discover N peers via WebSearch, (b) run Step 0.55 for main + each peer, (c) re-invoke as `/last30days 'topic vs peer1 vs peer2' --competitors-plan '{...}'`. See SKILL.md 'Competitor mode'."
2. "Headless / cron path: set BRAVE_API_KEY / EXA_API_KEY / SERPER_API_KEY / PARALLEL_API_KEY / OPENROUTER_API_KEY and re-run."
3. "Minimum escape hatch: `--competitors-list 'A,B,C'` skips discovery but does not pre-resolve peers."
- Suppress footer nudge when `external_plan` OR `competitors_plan` was passed.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: `--competitors` with no backend, no list, no plan → stderr leads with "If you are the hosting reasoning model" and references `--competitors-plan` before naming API keys.
- Happy path: `--plan` passed → footer nudge does NOT fire.
- Happy path: `--competitors-plan` passed → footer nudge does NOT fire.
- Happy path: `--competitors-list` only (no plan, no backend) → footer nudge still fires (hosting model didn't fully engage).
- Happy path: no `--competitors`, no `--plan` → footer nudge unchanged.
**Verification:**
- Tests pass.
- [ ] **Unit 5: Polymarket disambiguation guard**
**Goal:** `--polymarket-keywords "kw1,kw2"` filters market matches; auto-skip Polymarket on single-token-ambiguous topics without override.
**Requirements:** R9
**Dependencies:** None
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py` (argparse)
- Modify: `scripts/lib/polymarket.py`
- Test: `tests/test_polymarket_disambiguation.py` (new)
**Approach:**
- Add `--polymarket-keywords "kw1,kw2"`. When provided, Polymarket adapter filters market titles to those whose normalized text contains at least one keyword.
- Auto-skip: if topic is one token AND matches a known-ambiguous list (US state names, US city names, common sports/color/animal words) AND no `--polymarket-keywords`, skip Polymarket with stderr note.
- SKILL.md update (small): mention `--polymarket-keywords` in Step 0.55 instructions for ambiguous topics.
**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: topic "Warriors", no override → Polymarket skipped; stderr note.
- Happy path: topic "Warriors", `--polymarket-keywords "nba,gsw"` → Polymarket runs, filtered.
- Happy path: topic "OpenAI" → Polymarket runs as before.
- Happy path: topic "Arizona Wildcats" (multi-token) → Polymarket runs as before.
- Edge case: `--polymarket-keywords ""` → treated as empty, no filter.
**Verification:**
- Warriors smoke → Polymarket footer absent or filtered.
- [ ] **Unit 6: SKILL.md rewrite — vs mode is the canonical path, `--competitors` is a shortcut**
**Goal:** SKILL.md documents the unified architecture. vs mode runs N full passes. `--competitors` is a SKILL.md-level shortcut that discovers 2 peers and invokes vs mode with `--competitors-plan`.
**Requirements:** R1, R2, R10 (surfaces them)
**Dependencies:** Units 1-4
**Files:**
- Modify: `SKILL.md` (§551 "If QUERY_TYPE = COMPARISON" rewrite; Competitor mode subsection rewrite)
- Modify: `README.md` (one-line example)
**Approach:**
- Rewrite §551 to describe the N-pass architecture: "When the user asks 'X vs Y' (or 'X vs Y vs Z'), run Step 0.55 per entity, then invoke the engine. The engine fans out N full pipelines in parallel. Each entity gets its own single-entity-grade coverage. Wall clock is close to a single run."
- Remove the "ONE research pass with a comparison-optimized plan that replaces the old 3-pass approach" language.
- Add a `--competitors-plan` JSON example.
- Rewrite the Competitor mode subsection: "`--competitors` is a shortcut. The hosting model: (1) runs WebSearch to discover N=2 peers, (2) runs Step 0.55 for main + each peer, (3) rewrites topic to `'main vs peer1 vs peer2'`, (4) invokes engine with `--competitors-plan '{...}'`. Engine flag `--competitors` and `--competitors-list` remain for headless fallback."
- Cross-reference §679 (per-entity Step 0.55 protocol).
- Warning: a thin `## Resolved Entities` block (dashes for any entity) means the hosting model skipped Step 0.55 for that one.
**Patterns to follow:**
- Existing §679 per-entity Step 0.55 protocol for tone.
- 3.0.12 Competitor mode prose for terseness.
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — documentation. Verification is dogfood.
**Verification:**
- `/last30days "OpenAI vs Anthropic vs xAI"` in a fresh Claude Code window produces 3 save files with populated Resolved blocks and non-dash per-entity targeting.
- `/last30days OpenAI --competitors` produces same after discovery step.
- [ ] **Unit 7: Version 3.0.13, CHANGELOG, sync, hot-copy**
**Goal:** Ship 3.0.13 to all local targets.
**Requirements:** Closes R1-R10
**Dependencies:** Units 1-6
**Files:**
- Modify: `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`
- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
- Run: `bash scripts/sync.sh`
- Hot-copy: `~/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/3.0.13/`
**Approach:**
- CHANGELOG: group the changes. "Changed: vs mode now runs N full passes in parallel, one per entity — reverting the one-pass optimization to restore per-entity depth. Added: --competitors-plan JSON for per-entity Step 0.55 targeting (applies to vs mode and --competitors). Changed: --competitors is now a SKILL.md shortcut for vs-with-discovery. Added: per-entity *-raw.md save files. Fixed: override-leak from main to peer sub-runs. Changed: LAW 7 stderr framing for hosting-model context. Changed: BRAVE/SERPER footer nudge suppressed when --plan / --competitors-plan present. Added: --polymarket-keywords + auto-skip for ambiguous topics."
- Beta channel first per CLAUDE.md.
- Hot-copy so public `/last30days` picks up 3.0.13.
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — packaging.
**Verification:**
- `grep version .claude-plugin/plugin.json` → 3.0.13.
- `sync.sh` exits 0.
- Hot-copy contains the new files.
## System-Wide Impact
- **Interaction graph:** vs-mode and `--competitors` share one orchestrator (`fanout.run_competitor_fanout`). `_subrun_kwargs` is the single source of per-entity kwargs. Save loop iterates per entity.
- **Error propagation:** Per-entity sub-run failure → logged, dropped, continue (3.0.11 behavior unchanged). `--competitors-plan` JSON parse errors exit 2 (same shape as `--plan`).
- **State lifecycle risks:** `entity_config = dict(config)` deep-copy pattern extends to every per-entity flag (Unit 2 fix). No cross-entity context leak.
- **API surface parity:** `--competitors-plan` is additive. `--competitors`, `--competitors-list`, `--plan` unchanged. `--polymarket-keywords` additive. vs-mode keeps its topic-string surface.
- **Integration coverage:** New vs-mode-fanout integration test. New override-leak regression test. New plan-threading test. New nudge-suppression test. New per-entity-save test. New Polymarket disambiguation test.
- **Unchanged invariants:** `pipeline.run()` signature unchanged. Single-entity render path unchanged. LAW 7 on the default path unchanged (still fires when a single-entity run lacks `--plan`).
## Risks & Dependencies
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| vs-mode N-pass latency feels slower for users who remember the one-pass shortcut. | Parallel execution keeps wall-clock ~= max(per-entity-latency), not sum. `--quick` on a vs-topic still applies to each sub-run. CHANGELOG calls out the revert + parallelism. |
| API cost scales linearly with N (per source). | Default count 2 caps it. Hard max 6 on `--competitors`. vs-mode users opted into N entities explicitly. |
| Rivalry content ("A vs B" articles) missed in N-independent passes. | Deferred to separate task (head-to-head supplemental pass). Start shipping and observe whether this is actually a gap. |
| Hosting model skips `--competitors-plan` and uses `--competitors-list` only. | Unit 4 stderr reframe steers explicitly. SKILL.md Unit 6 makes the plan-path canonical. Thin Resolved block in output makes skipped-Step-0.55 visible. |
| Override-leak fix misses a subtle closure path. | Unit 2 is test-first with the Kanye receipt as the failing input. Regression test asserts every per-entity flag is None unless plan provides it. |
## Documentation / Operational Notes
- Beta channel first per CLAUDE.md.
- After merge: hot-copy to `~/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/3.0.13/`.
- CHANGELOG explicitly frames the vs-mode change as an architectural revert-with-parallelism, not a regression to the old serial N-pass.

title: "fix: comparison title says (/Last30Days) instead of (Last 30 Days)"
type: fix

# fix: comparison title says (/Last30Days) instead of (Last 30 Days)
## Overview
User feedback 2026-04-22 on the 3.0.13 release runs (Kanye vs Drake, Mercer Island, Figma): the comparison title currently reads `# Kanye West vs Drake: What the Community Says (Last 30 Days)`. It should read `# Kanye West vs Drake: What the Community Says (/Last30Days)` — attributing the output to the slash command rather than describing the date range generically.
Single-line change in SKILL.md, three occurrences. No code change.
## Requirements Trace
- R1. Comparison title pattern in SKILL.md changes from `(Last 30 Days)` to `(/Last30Days)` so synthesis outputs read `... What the Community Says (/Last30Days)`.
- R2. Both the rule statement (line 113) and the COMPARISON-exception statement (line 131) and the synthesis template example (line 1208) all use the new suffix.
- R3. Version bumps to 3.0.14, CHANGELOG entry, sync, hot-copy. Public cache picks up the new title pattern.
## Scope Boundaries
- No changes to the single-entity output title (no `(/Last30Days)` suffix there — only comparison topics carry it).
- No changes to engine code. Pure SKILL.md content.
- No changes to anything else surfaced in the test runs.
## Key Technical Decisions
- **Replace all three occurrences of the suffix string in one pass.** They are identical strings; changing one without the others would cause synthesis-time confusion when the model reaches a different reference.
- **Ship as 3.0.14, not 3.0.13.x.** Patch-level bump matches the small scope and keeps the release log clean.
## Implementation Units
- [ ] **Unit 1: Replace `(Last 30 Days)``(/Last30Days)` in SKILL.md**
**Goal:** All three SKILL.md references to the comparison title use the new suffix.
**Requirements:** R1, R2
**Files:**
- Modify: `SKILL.md`
**Approach:**
- `replace_all` swap of `What the Community Says (Last 30 Days)``What the Community Says (/Last30Days)`. Three occurrences, no other strings overlap.
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — pure documentation. Verification by inspection + dogfood run.
**Verification:**
- `grep -c "What the Community Says (/Last30Days)" SKILL.md` returns 3.
- `grep -c "What the Community Says (Last 30 Days)" SKILL.md` returns 0.
- [ ] **Unit 2: Version 3.0.14 + CHANGELOG + sync + hot-copy**
**Goal:** Ship 3.0.14 to all local targets.
**Requirements:** R3
**Dependencies:** Unit 1
**Files:**
- Modify: `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`
- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
- Run: `bash scripts/sync.sh`
- Hot-copy: `~/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/3.0.14/`
**Approach:**
- CHANGELOG: "Changed: comparison-mode title attribution — `What the Community Says (Last 30 Days)``What the Community Says (/Last30Days)`. Surfaces the slash-command identity instead of restating the date range."
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — packaging.
**Verification:**
- `grep version .claude-plugin/plugin.json` → 3.0.14.
- Hot-copy contains the updated SKILL.md.
## Risks & Dependencies
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Hosting model has the old title pattern memorized from a prior run and re-emits `(Last 30 Days)`. | SKILL.md is read top-to-bottom each invocation. STEP 0 canonical-path self-check (3.0.12) ensures the model loads the new SKILL.md, not the marketplace stale copy. |

title: "marketing: v3.1 launch video — 30s Remotion piece for X"
type: feat
status: active
date: 2026-04-22

# marketing: v3.1 launch video — 30s Remotion piece for X
## Overview
Build a 30-second Remotion-rendered MP4 marketing video announcing **v3.1: Competitors mode** for `/last30days`. Posts to X. Frames the new vs-mode-with-auto-discovery as the headline — three full passes, three save files, one comparison — without burying it in CLI minutiae.
Marketing release tag is **v3.1** (rebrands the 3.0.11-3.0.14 bundle into one shippable narrative for the launch tweet). Engine version stays 3.0.14 — `3.1` is the marketing version, not a code version bump.
## Script (60 frames per second × 30 seconds = 900 frames; this version assumes 30fps × 30s = 900 frames at 30fps)
Total runtime: 30.0 seconds @ 30fps = 900 frames. Six scenes, on-screen text only (silent autoplay-friendly).
### Scene 1 — Hook (0:00 0:03 | frames 0-90)
**Visual:** Black background. The `/last30days` badge animates in (the literal `🌐 last30days v3.1 · synced 2026-04-22` line) with the spring scale-in used in slick devtool intros.
**Caption (overlay, large):**
```
What if one search
ran 3 at once?
```
### Scene 2 — Set the world (0:03 0:08 | frames 90-240)
**Visual:** Single mac terminal window center-stage. Type-on animation:
```
$ /last30days OpenAI
```
Below it, a simple result card stub appears (Reddit upvote count + X likes), then static.
**Caption (small bottom-left):**
```
The old way: one topic.
```
### Scene 3 — The reveal (0:08 0:14 | frames 240-420)
**Visual:** The terminal types one more flag:
```
$ /last30days OpenAI --competitors
```
Hard cut → the single terminal **splits into 3 panes** side by side. Each pane shows a different topic header animating in, in this order:
- Left: `OpenAI`
- Middle: `vs Anthropic`
- Right: `vs xAI`
Pane content scrolls fake "search progress" lines (Reddit, X, YouTube indicators) in parallel, like a live fan-out.
**Caption (top center):**
```
Now it discovers competitors
and runs all 3.
```
### Scene 4 — Result reveal (0:14 0:21 | frames 420-630)
**Visual:** The 3 panes collapse into a single comparison surface — the `## Head-to-Head` table from the actual engine output, with rows fading in one by one (What it is, Streams, Best for, Trajectory). Each entity column lights up as its row populates.
**Caption (bottom):**
```
3 full passes. 3 save files.
1 comparison.
```
### Scene 5 — How it's special (0:21 0:26 | frames 630-780)
**Visual:** Cut to a clean text card, large mono font:
```
You pick the topic.
The agent picks the peers.
The engine fans out.
```
Each line fades in 1.5s apart.
### Scene 6 — CTA (0:26 0:30 | frames 780-900)
**Visual:** Black background. Centered:
- Top: `🌐 last30days v3.1`
- Middle: `/last30days {topic} --competitors`
- Bottom: `github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill`
Subtle pulse on the install line.
**End frame holds for ~0.5s.**
## Problem Frame
The 3.0.11-3.0.14 release bundle ships a transformative feature (per-entity vs-mode fanout + `--competitors` shortcut + per-entity save files), but the value lands flat in a tweet thread or screenshot. A 30s video does what static text cannot: shows the fan-out happening in real time and the 3 → 1 collapse into a comparison. Higher tweet engagement, easier to RT/QT.
## Requirements Trace
- R1. Final artifact: a single MP4 file, 1920×1080, 30fps, ~30 seconds (±0.5s), under 30MB, suitable for direct X upload.
- R2. Six-scene script as defined above, with text/visuals/timing matching to within 5 frames.
- R3. Branded look: matches the `🌐 last30days v3.1` badge style (terminal aesthetic, mono font, dark background).
- R4. Silent — no voiceover, no music in v1. Captions baked in. Designed for autoplay-muted feeds.
- R5. Reproducible: another contributor (or a future-me) can re-render with one command. Project lives in-repo so the source is versioned.
## Scope Boundaries
- No voiceover. Text-on-screen only. (Voice can be a v1.1 if engagement is high.)
- No background music in the rendered MP4. (Music can be added in post via QuickTime/iMovie if desired before posting.)
- No localization. English captions only.
- No A/B test variants. One video.
- No 9:16 vertical version. 16:9 only. (Vertical can be a separate render after launch validates the format.)
### Deferred to Separate Tasks
- Voiceover variant: defer to follow-up if v1 lands well.
- 9:16 mobile cut: defer; same source compositions can re-render at 1080×1920 in a follow-up.
- Animated GIF for embedding in README.md: defer; can be ffmpeg-extracted from the MP4.
## Context & Research
### Relevant Code and Patterns
- `SKILL.md` — the comparison render scaffold (`## Head-to-Head` table) is the visual reference for Scene 4's table look.
- `scripts/lib/render.py` `_render_comparison_scaffold` — emits the 9-axis table whose visual style we're recreating in a more polished form.
- `CHANGELOG.md` 3.0.11-3.0.14 entries — the prose source for the script's beats.
- `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` version 3.0.14 — current code version (marketing version is 3.1 for the launch).
### External References
- Remotion 4.x docs (https://www.remotion.dev/docs/) — current API for compositions, sequences, springs, and render CLI.
- X video specs 2026: max 2 min 20 s, ≤512MB, MP4 with H.264 + AAC, recommended 1920×1080 for landscape autoplay.
### Institutional Learnings
- No prior `marketing/` dir or video plans in `docs/plans/`. This is a greenfield asset directory.
## Key Technical Decisions
- **Remotion, not ffmpeg-only.** Remotion's React-based compositions handle the typed-on terminal effect, spring-animated badges, and scene transitions far more cleanly than raw ffmpeg filtergraphs. Render output is still MP4 via Remotion's bundled ffmpeg.
- **In-repo asset directory at `marketing/v3.1-launch/`.** Lives with the product so future versions can fork the project. Adds `marketing/` to `.gitignore` exceptions only for source files; rendered MP4 stays out of git (uploaded separately).
- **16:9 1920×1080 @ 30fps.** Best fit for X landscape autoplay on desktop and mobile feed. 30fps is plenty for typed-text + UI animation; 60fps doubles render time without obvious quality gain.
- **Silent + captions.** X autoplay defaults to muted. Sound-off is the realistic viewing condition. Captions baked into the visual.
- **Six scenes, one composition.** Single Remotion composition with sequenced child compositions per scene. Easier to re-time than scene-files. Frame-numbered timing in the script enables precise edits.
- **Mono font (JetBrains Mono or Geist Mono).** Matches the terminal aesthetic of the actual `/last30days` output. Available via Google Fonts or @remotion/google-fonts.
- **Marketing version 3.1 ≠ engine version 3.0.14.** `3.1` is the launch label. Engine stays 3.0.14. Avoids confusion in CHANGELOG.
## Open Questions
### Resolved During Planning
- **Aspect ratio?** 16:9 1080p. Best X autoplay format; vertical can be a follow-up.
- **Voiceover or silent?** Silent + on-screen captions. Autoplay-muted is the realistic condition.
- **In-repo or separate repo?** In-repo at `marketing/v3.1-launch/`. Rendered MP4 not committed; source compositions are.
- **Length?** Exactly 30s (900 frames @ 30fps). No flex.
- **Marketing version label?** `v3.1`. Engine code version stays 3.0.14.
### Deferred to Implementation
- Exact animation easing curves per scene — pick during build via Remotion preview iteration.
- Whether the comparison-table mock in Scene 4 uses canned text or pulls from the actual saved `*-raw.md` files. Probably canned for visual control.
- Whether Scene 3's "search progress" lines are typed individually or use a marquee scroll. Pick during preview.
- Exact accent color palette beyond "terminal dark." Iterate against preview.

```
Per-scene components use `useCurrentFrame()` + `interpolate()` + `spring()` for timing. `TerminalWindow` is the dominant motif across scenes 2-4.
## Implementation Units
- [ ] **Unit 1: Remotion project scaffold**
**Goal:** Spin up a working Remotion project at `marketing/v3.1-launch/` that previews a blank composition and renders to MP4.
**Requirements:** R1, R5
**Files:**
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/package.json`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/tsconfig.json`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/remotion.config.ts`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/index.ts`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/Root.tsx`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/README.md`
- Modify: `.gitignore` (add `marketing/v3.1-launch/out/`, `marketing/v3.1-launch/node_modules/`)
**Approach:**
- Use `npx create-video@latest --blank` (Remotion 4.x scaffolding) targeting `marketing/v3.1-launch/`. Strip the demo composition.
- Configure: 1920×1080, 30fps, H.264, AAC (audio codec needed even for silent — empty track).
- README documents `npm install`, `npm run preview` (Remotion Studio), `npm run render` (one-command MP4).
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none for scaffold, but verification = `npm run preview` opens Remotion Studio with a blank 30s composition; `npm run render` produces a black MP4 at the right resolution.
**Verification:**
- Studio loads at localhost:3000 with the empty `LaunchVideo` composition listed.
- A render produces `out/launch-video.mp4` at 1920×1080, 30s, valid MP4.
- [ ] **Unit 2: Reusable components (Terminal, TypedLine, BadgeBar)**
**Goal:** Build the three primitive components scenes 2-6 will compose. Each is independently previewable.
**Requirements:** R3, R5
**Dependencies:** Unit 1
**Files:**
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/components/TerminalWindow.tsx`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/components/TypedLine.tsx`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/components/BadgeBar.tsx`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/lib/colors.ts`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/lib/timing.ts`
**Approach:**
- `TerminalWindow`: mac-style traffic-light header, dark gradient background, mono content area. Accepts children.
- `TypedLine`: takes a string and a `startFrame`, renders character-by-character at ~30 chars/sec. Reuses Remotion's `interpolate(useCurrentFrame() - startFrame, [0, lengthFrames], [0, text.length])` clamped.
- `BadgeBar`: renders the literal `🌐 last30days v3.1 · synced 2026-04-22` line in mono with the same gradient color treatment as the engine's compact emit.
- `colors.ts`: 5-7 brand colors (terminal-bg, terminal-fg, accent-cyan, accent-magenta, muted, success-green, warning-amber).
- `timing.ts`: exports the scene frame ranges as named constants. Single source of truth for any retiming.
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — visual components verified in Remotion Studio.
**Verification:**
- Each component renders standalone in Studio when wrapped in a temporary preview composition.
- TypedLine animates character-by-character without flicker.
- [ ] **Unit 3: Scenes 1-3 (Hook, Old way, Fan-out reveal)**
**Goal:** Build the first half of the video (frames 0-420). The narrative arc up through the visual fan-out.
**Requirements:** R2
**Dependencies:** Unit 2
**Files:**
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/scenes/Scene1Hook.tsx`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/scenes/Scene2OldWay.tsx`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/scenes/Scene3FanOut.tsx`
- Modify: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/Root.tsx` (register sequences)
**Approach:**
- Scene 1: spring-in BadgeBar, large overlay caption, 3-second hold.
- Scene 2: TerminalWindow with TypedLine (`$ /last30days OpenAI`), then a single result-card mock fading in.
- Scene 3: typing animation appends `--competitors`, hard cut, three TerminalWindow components arranged in a row with staggered fade-in. Each pane shows a different entity header + scrolling progress lines.
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — verified visually in Studio.
**Verification:**
- Scrub the 0-14s range in Studio; visuals match the script timing within 5 frames.
- The fan-out moment (frame 240) lands cleanly; no jank in the transition from 1 → 3 panes.
- [ ] **Unit 4: Scenes 4-6 (Comparison reveal, How it works, CTA)**
**Goal:** Build the back half of the video (frames 420-900). Resolution + payoff + call to action.
**Requirements:** R2
**Dependencies:** Unit 2
**Files:**
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/scenes/Scene4Comparison.tsx`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/scenes/Scene5HowItWorks.tsx`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/scenes/Scene6CTA.tsx`
- Create: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/components/ComparisonTable.tsx`
**Approach:**
- Scene 4: ComparisonTable component renders 3-column markdown-style table; rows fade in one by one (stagger 15-20 frames). Uses canned data — OpenAI / Anthropic / xAI with believable cell content drawn from real 3.0.13 outputs.
- Scene 5: three-line text card; lines fade in 45 frames apart.
- Scene 6: three centered text blocks; install line gets a 1Hz subtle opacity pulse for emphasis.
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — verified visually.
**Verification:**
- Scrub 14-30s; table reveal feels paced (not too slow, not strobed); CTA holds long enough to read (~3-4s).
- ComparisonTable cells are legible at 1920×1080 (mono font ≥ 28px).
- [ ] **Unit 5: Final composition wiring + render**
**Goal:** Wire the six scenes into the master `LaunchVideo` composition, render to MP4, verify against X upload constraints.
**Requirements:** R1, R2, R5
**Dependencies:** Units 3, 4
**Files:**
- Modify: `marketing/v3.1-launch/src/LaunchVideo.tsx` (sequence all 6 scenes)
- Modify: `marketing/v3.1-launch/README.md` (add render command + verification checklist)
**Approach:**
- `LaunchVideo` is a single Composition that imports `Scene1Hook``Scene6CTA` and wraps each in `<Sequence from=… durationInFrames=…>` matching `lib/timing.ts`.
- Run `npx remotion render LaunchVideo out/last30days-v3.1-launch.mp4 --codec=h264 --crf=18`.
- Verify output: 30.0s ±0.1s, 1920×1080, file size <30MB, opens in QuickTime, plays without dropped frames.
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — verification is the rendered MP4 itself.
**Verification:**
- `ffprobe out/last30days-v3.1-launch.mp4` reports 1920×1080, 30fps, ~30.0s, h264, faststart-friendly.
- Manual play-through end-to-end in QuickTime feels coherent and on-pace.
- File <30MB so X upload is instant.
- [ ] **Unit 6: Polish pass + ship**
**Goal:** Watch the full render, fix obvious jank, do a second render, and stage for X posting.
**Requirements:** R1, R2, R3
**Dependencies:** Unit 5
**Files:**
- Possibly modify: any scene file based on watch-through findings.
**Approach:**
- Watch the rendered MP4 at full size. Note: timing felt off, transitions too fast, captions overflow, color clash, anything visibly broken.
- Iterate: edit scene component → re-preview in Studio → re-render full MP4.
- Cap at 2 polish passes; ship the better of the two renders.
- Final MP4 sits at `marketing/v3.1-launch/out/last30days-v3.1-launch.mp4` ready for X upload.
**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none — pure subjective polish.
**Verification:**
- User watches the final render and approves.
- No glaring visual bugs (overflowing text, frozen frames, color clashes).
## System-Wide Impact
- **Interaction graph:** None — this is a standalone marketing artifact. Doesn't touch the Python engine, doesn't change any user-facing behavior.
- **State lifecycle risks:** None.
- **API surface parity:** N/A.
- **Unchanged invariants:** The shipped 3.0.14 engine is untouched.
## Risks & Dependencies
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Remotion install pulls 200MB+ of node_modules. | `marketing/v3.1-launch/node_modules/` in `.gitignore`; checked-in source stays small. |
| Render time blows past patience (>5 min for 30s @ 1080p30). | Bun-based render or `--concurrency` flag. Default Remotion is fast enough on M-series Macs. If slow, lower preview to 720p, render final at 1080p. |
| Captions overflow the 1920px width on certain fonts. | Use a known mono font with a measured per-character width; cap caption lines at 36 chars. |
| The "fan-out" visual in Scene 3 looks confusing instead of magical. | Polish pass (Unit 6) is the safety net; if still bad, fall back to a simpler "1 → 3 panes wipe" instead of typed split. |
| File size >30MB hits X upload friction. | Use `--crf=18` (high quality, reasonable size); fall back to `--crf=23` if over. 30s @ 1080p30 H.264 is normally 5-15MB. |
## Documentation / Operational Notes
- README at `marketing/v3.1-launch/README.md` documents preview / render commands.
- After render, the MP4 is uploaded directly to X. Tweet copy is the user's call (this plan stops at the rendered file).
## Sources & References
- Related code: `scripts/lib/render.py` (`_render_comparison_scaffold` is the visual model for Scene 4); `SKILL.md` Competitor mode section (the narrative source).
- Related PRs: #308, #311, #312 (the 3.0.11 → 3.0.14 release bundle this video markets as "v3.1").
- External docs: https://www.remotion.dev/docs/ (Remotion 4.x API).

# /last30days v3.1 Launch Video
30-second Remotion-rendered MP4 announcing **v3.1: Competitors mode** for posting on X.
## Quick start
```bash
cd marketing/v3.1-launch
npm install # one-time, ~200MB of node_modules
npm run preview # opens Remotion Studio at localhost:3000 to scrub frames
npm run render # writes out/last30days-v3.1-launch.mp4 (high quality, CRF 18)
npm run render:fast # writes a CRF 23 preview for fast iteration
```
## Specs
- 1920×1080, 30fps, 30 seconds (900 frames)
- H.264 / MP4
- Silent (autoplay-muted-friendly; captions baked in)
- Marketing label `v3.1` (engine code version stays 3.0.14)
## Scene timing (single source of truth: `src/lib/timing.ts`)
| Scene | Frames | Time | What |
|-------|--------|------|------|
| 1. Hook | 0-89 | 0.0-3.0s | Badge animates in + "What if one search ran 3 at once?" |
| 2. Old way | 90-239 | 3.0-8.0s | Single terminal: `/last30days OpenAI` |
| 3. Fan-out | 240-419 | 8.0-14.0s | `--competitors` types in → splits into 3 panes |
| 4. Comparison | 420-629 | 14.0-21.0s | 3 panes collapse into Head-to-Head table |
| 5. How | 630-779 | 21.0-26.0s | 3-line text card |
| 6. CTA | 780-899 | 26.0-30.0s | Install command + repo URL |
Edit `src/lib/timing.ts` to retime scenes; the `LaunchVideo` composition reads from there.
## Output
Rendered MP4 lives at `out/last30days-v3.1-launch.mp4` (gitignored). Upload directly to X.

"""Category-peer subreddit map for Step 0.55 community resolution.
When a topic is a product in a known category (AI image generation, AI coding
agents, SaaS screen recording, etc.), brand-specific subreddits returned by
WebSearch are insufficient: cross-product technique discussion lives in
category-peer subs. This module classifies a topic into a category by matching
compound-term patterns against the lowercased topic string, then returns the
priority-ordered peer subreddit list for that category.
The map is intentionally small, curated, and code-reviewed. Adding a new
category is a code change; there is no user-editable override surface.
False-positive guard: every pattern is either a multi-word compound (e.g.
"image generation", "text to image") or a domain-specific single word
(e.g. "midjourney", "stablediffusion"). Bare common nouns like "image",
"ai", or "model" are never used as patterns.
First-match-wins: categories are evaluated in declared order. Entries are
sorted from most-specific to least-specific so narrower categories claim a
topic before broader ones. For example, `ai_image_generation` appears
before `ai_chat_model` so "gpt image 2" matches the image-gen category.

# Fixture: `Prompting GPT Image 2` Resolved-block regression
Documentation-grade fixture. Captures the pre-fix and post-fix shape of the
Step 0.55 Resolved block for the topic `Prompting GPT Image 2`. Not parsed
by test code — read by reviewers when evaluating regressions in
`scripts/lib/categories.py` or the SKILL.md Step 0.55 block.
The live assertion lives in `tests/test_category_integration.py`. This
markdown fixture exists so reviewers can eyeball expected behavior without
running pytest.
## Failing run (2026-04-22, pre-fix)
User ran `/last30days Prompting GPT Image 2`. Step 0.55 WebSearch returned
OpenAI-brand communities. The model resolved exactly those.
```
Resolved:
- X: @OpenAI (+ @sama, @openaidevs)
- Reddit: r/OpenAI, r/ChatGPT, r/singularity, r/artificial, r/ChatGPTpromptengineering
- TikTok: #gptimage2, #openai, #aiart
```
Engine run returned thin results. User manually intervened with "make sure
to check image generatorion reddits too" and re-ran with the image-gen
peer subs added.
## Expected run (post-fix, no user intervention)
After Step 0.55 Section 2a (category-peer expansion) and Unit 2's engine-side
merge in `auto_resolve`, the same topic produces:
```
Resolved:
- X: @OpenAI (+ @sama, @openaidevs)
- Reddit: r/OpenAI, r/ChatGPT, r/singularity, r/ChatGPTpromptengineering, r/StableDiffusion, r/midjourney, r/dalle2, r/aiArt (+ ai_image_generation peers)
- TikTok: #gptimage2, #openai, #aiart
```
The peer subs (`StableDiffusion, midjourney, dalle2, aiArt`) appear alongside
the WebSearch-returned brand subs. The `(+ ai_image_generation peers)`
annotation is the observable contract — its absence on a product-in-a-known-
category topic is a Step 0.55 regression.
## Guards
- `tests/test_categories.py::DetectCategoryHappyPath::test_prompting_gpt_image_2_matches_image_generation`
- `tests/test_resolve.py::MergeCategoryPeersHappyPath::test_image_gen_topic_appends_peers`
- `tests/test_resolve.py::AutoResolveCategoryIntegration::test_auto_resolve_returns_category_key`
- `tests/test_category_integration.py` — end-to-end over `auto_resolve` with
a stubbed WebSearch that mimics the original failing response.
## When to update this fixture
- Category map changed (a peer sub was reordered, added, or removed).
- The observable Resolved-block annotation format changed.
- A new category was added that affects this topic.
Do not update casually. This file is the pre/post record of the 2026-04-22
failure.
