DeepSeek triage over every eligible article (plan §10) with cached
assessments in article_assessments, the union admission with quotas and
exploration slots (§11), hygiene moved to admit.rs with the churn rule
reading assessments, prefilter.rs reduced to hygiene and text heuristic,
prefilter_keep removed in favour of curation.ranking.deep_keep, the
scores table dropped (migration 0003), and --rescore on generate.
Implemented by Codex (gpt-5.4, high effort) from
docs/plans/curation-v2-briefs/step4.md; reviewed against plan §10–§11.

- AnthropicBackend (Messages API, cached system block, output_config.effort,
server-side fallbacks, refusal surfaced as an error); Llms { bulk, editor }
with editor_or_bulk(); PriceTable-based UsageMeter per provider.
- [anthropic], [editorial], deepseek.max_concurrent_requests and
curation.max_article_count config; startup logs resolved providers.
- Budget day is the UTC date of started_at, preloaded from
runs.provider_costs_json; finish_run writes provider_costs_json and
config_json. Stage A batches run concurrently with per-batch budget checks.
- Editor prompt with one-line "why" per pick; no minimum lineup size;
--max-articles is a ceiling; top-up branch deleted; why stored on picks and
issue_articles.why and rendered in chapters and In this issue.
- Summaries on the editor client (3k-token input, concurrency 4, bulk then
excerpt fallback); "The Brief" replaces From the Editor; section intros gone.
- Colophon carries per-provider costs and models.

- Migration 0002: rating_events, article_embeddings, interest_embeddings,
article_assessments, candidate_runs, runs.config_json/provider_costs_json,
issue_articles.why; copies ratings into rating_events and drops ratings and
feed_priors (scores stays until step 4).
- Vote is Loved | Good | NotForMe; legacy `up` links still verify as Loved.
- Footer offers Loved it / Good / Not for me; the confirmation page offers the
other two so a mis-tap can be corrected. handle_rating appends one event.
- db::current_ratings implements the latest-explicit-event rule with summaries
and facets; `ratings list|set|clear` CLI appends source='cli' events.
- data/profile.md replaces the hard-coded reader prose; the system prompt is
rebuilt every run in the §8.4 order with a recent-verdicts block.
- Weekly rebuild reads summaries, facets and notes; feed priors removed.

- World Briefing now starts with yesterday, preserves complete nested
event hierarchies and Wikipedia links, fetches deduplicated article
leads concurrently, and adds stable-ID summaries plus a daily overview.
- Enrichment runs after normal editorial work and degrades safely with
report warnings.
- Colophon facts now use X4-safe block paragraphs.
- Standard cover remains 1200×1600 RGB PNG.
- X4 cover is a 480×800 baseline RGB JPEG with consistent XHTML and OPF
declarations.
- Added CrossInk cache-clearing guidance to README.md.
- Worked around an epub-builder duplicate XML-ID defect discovered by
validation.
It turns out it is currently impossible for the Xteink X4 to download
XTC files from an OPDS server. So I switched the built-in OPDS server in
this binary (daily.hallada.net/opds) to serve the EPUB files instead of
the XTC files. The X4 is pretty capable of reading the X4 edition of the
EPUB that was optimized for it anyways, and I prefer the flexibility of
EPUB, so I might end up eventually deleting the XTC conversion. For now,
I kept the conversion step (in case I ever want to ever try manually
copying them to the device) and I keep a limited number of XTC issues on
the server since they are quite big in filesize. The BookOrbit
integration is now optional since the built-in OPDS server is able to
serve the EPUBs. In my installation, I serve the EPUBs through both. The
daily.hallada.net/opds server is just a little quicker to navigate and
download the EPUBs on the X4 since the BookOrbit OPDS requires diving
into a couple layers of folders before you get to the files.
Full implementation of a personalized daily newspaper delivered as an
EPUB.
Articles are pulled from a local self-hosted Miniflux instance, enriched
with comments, summarized and filtered by DeepSeek AI, and then
assembled into two EPUB editions: standard and optimized for the Xteink
X4 e-ink reader. Both are served by the local self-hosted BookOrbit OPDS
server in a separate library. Then the X4 edition is futher converted to
XTC format and served over a separate OPDS server hosted by the Rust
binary. Runs are tracked in a local SQLite database so runs are
idempotent per date.
Full documentation of the plan is in docs/plans and setup and install
instructions are in the README.md file.
