Across 96 picks in four live issues the "Why it's here" line was a 12-word
restatement of the summary printed next to it: one used the second person,
five mentioned the reader at all. Rule 8 now says what the line is for, what
it must not do (describe the piece, list the interests shown beneath it), and
gives a bad/good pair.

The summary prompt told the model "if the text is a truncated excerpt,
summarize only what is there and say it is an excerpt". Any article cut
to the 3k-token budget tripped that clause, and the model complied with
a terse "(Excerpt.)" label on the abstract. Bodies the extractor could
only excerpt also carried the reader-facing "(excerpt only — read
online)" note into the prompt, which the model mirrored.
Separate the two cases: text truncated for length gets no caveat, and
genuine feed-teaser bodies (the article's excerpt_only flag, now passed
in as SummarySource) are labelled "opening excerpt only" with a request
for one plain closing clause. Strip the extractor's note from the prompt
text, forbid labelling the abstract outright, and scrub a short trailing
"(Excerpt…)" parenthetical from the response as a guard.

Every list of articles now reads "Author · Feed · Publication · N min":
the signed-in issue page, the public issue page, the RSS feed and the
EPUB's In This Issue page. `author_label` drops an author that is empty
or only repeats the feed's title, as a dozen personal blogs do. Article
pages keep their own byline.

Scour interest feeds link every entry through
https://scour.ing/r/rss/<percent-encoded article URL>, so the wrapper
became the article's canonical URL: the same post arriving via Hacker
News and Scour never merged, and the publication fallback showed
"scour.ing" instead of the site's own domain. Resolve the wrapper like
the Google News redirector. `publication_label` re-canonicalizes the
stored URL so the 477 articles saved with the wrapper show the real
domain too.

Readers see "Feed · Publication" on the issue, article, public and RSS
pages and in the EPUB index and chapter headers; the publication is the
page's site name, else its domain, and is dropped when it would repeat
the feed's title. Admins get the feed name linked to its Miniflux page.

The pipeline talks to Miniflux on loopback, so links meant for a person
need their own base. `[miniflux].public_url` defaults to base_url, and
`feed_url` builds the web UI's `/feed/{id}/entries` page, which the feeds
dashboard now uses instead of the non-existent `/feeds/{id}` route.

Every navigation is a full document load, so the sidebar came back at
scrollTop 0 and revealCurrent() smooth-scrolled the current chapter into
view: a jump on every click even though the link was already in view.
app.js saves the panel's scrollTop to sessionStorage (large screens only,
keyed by the issue) on link clicks and pagehide; theme.js, which already
runs before first paint, restores it as soon as the parser has closed the
nav. The load-time reveals (initial and the first scroll-tracking paint on
the full issue page) are now instant; opening the mobile panel and
tracking while scrolling stay smooth.

The operator reads the site at 110% browser zoom; make that the default
scale. Tailwind v4 utilities are rem-based, so `html { font-size:110% }`
scales type, spacing, columns and controls together the way zoom does,
while media queries keep firing at the same viewport widths.
Things that did not scale with the root size and had to move:
- the `lg` reader grid is now 15rem + gap-x-8 (was 16rem + gap-x-10) so
the TOC sidebar and the 68ch article still fit at 1024-1100px;
- the TOC reveal margin in app.js is 1.5rem of the computed root size
instead of a fixed 24px, and the run funnel SVG height is `h-3`;
- long unbreakable tokens on the phone-width dashboard (settings group
ids and headings, config warnings, run warnings) now wrap with
`overflow-wrap:anywhere`, and the feed candidates table sits in the
same `.scroll-x` wrapper as the other dashboard tables. Overview and
feeds already overflowed a 390px viewport before this change; settings
started to. All three fit now.
Verified with before/after screenshots of 27 pages at 390-1440px on the
seeded dev database: no page body scrolls horizontally, the reader
layout, TOC sidebar and dashboard match the old 110%-zoom rendering.

A fourth explicit verdict, "AI slop" (Vote::Slop, label `slop`), joins the
rating widget on the web, the EPUB footer links, the /r/ confirmation page,
the CLI, imports and the dashboard filters. It counts as a full negative
(curation.feedback.slop_value, -1.0) in the neighbour and affinity signals.
Beyond that, each run loads the authors whose current verdict is slop, with
no lookback, and multiplies the preliminary blend and the utility of every
candidate by that author by 1 - curation.ranking.slop_author_penalty (0.75),
so they sink before triage. The flag is recorded in signals_json, shown by
`explain` and the dashboard signals table, and the confirmation names the
author (or says no author is known, in which case only the rating applies).

A muted one-line note now follows every article: the deep assessment's
topic group, format, depth and technicality, the specific topics it
extracted, and the reader interests the article matched best, e.g.
Software engineering · analysis essay · in depth · highly technical ·
Topics: copy-on-write, ZFS · Interests: Filesystems, Rust
It renders on the web article page footer, on the public and private
issue-page entries, in the EPUB article footer and in the EPUB "In This
Issue" index (both editions), always styled like the existing meta lines
so it stays secondary to the content.
`Pick` gains `top_interests` (serde default, no migration), filled from
the signals stage when the editor assembles the lineup; the facets were
already on the issue snapshot via `Pick.llm`, so earlier issues show the
facet and topic parts and only future issues carry interests. One shared
builder, `understanding_line` in epub::chapters, feeds every surface.
The dev seed gives four picks facets and interests so the line can be
eyeballed locally.

Readability already finds a byline (JSON-LD author, meta author tags,
byline markup); keep it on the article and let it replace an aggregator
entry's author, which for HN and friends is the submitter. A direct feed's
own author is still trusted over the page, and an aggregator name is only
used at all when no direct feed carried the story. The author is stored on
articles so it survives independently of the best entry.

A rating on an article that arrived only via an aggregator (HN, Lobsters,
Reddit, Scour) used to count fully against that aggregator feed. Now the
aggregator feed gets a quarter of the credit and the article's author gets
the full credit, so future articles by the same author from any feed carry
the history. The feed signal is the mean over rated direct feeds and the
rated author.

Long unbroken strings, inline code tokens and many-column tables could push
the reader column wider than a phone screen, causing horizontal scrolling

with a per-host memo. Ranking is a shrunk mean over the linked articles'

Download hrefs were built with form encoding, which turns the spaces in
"The Daily EPUB - <date>.epub" into "+"; in a URL path that is a literal
plus, so /files/epub/<name> never matched the file. They now use the
same path-segment percent-encoder the OPDS feed already uses, and the
download-menu test follows the rendered link and expects 200.
The Read in BookOrbit button renders only for admins, and the
/issues/{date}/read redirect answers 403 to other signed-in users.

`registry_validation_rejects_bad_roles_kinds_and_efforts`. Every test on

A forced or voluntary password change now redirects to the validated
`next` target (the page the user was heading for, or the home page)
instead of landing back on the account form. Login and the
must-change-password middleware pass the destination along as
/account?change=1&next=... and the form carries it as a hidden field.
The request-access form gains a required Username field validated with
the account rules and rejected when an account or another open request
already holds it (case-insensitive). Migration 0009 stores it on the
request; the notification email and the Users dashboard show it, and
the Approve form is prefilled with it.

Each open access request on /dashboard/users gains an Approve form with
a suggested username. Approving creates a user-role account with a
20-character random temporary password, emails it to the requester with
the sign-in link, and marks the request done; if the email fails the
account is deleted so the admin can retry. Approval refuses when mail is
not configured.
Migration 0008 adds users.must_change_password. A middleware on the
signed-in routers sends flagged users to /account?change=1 until they
set a new password; login honours the flag regardless of `next`, and the
CLI's `users passwd` clears it.

implicit TLS; the password is environment-only via
DAILY_EPUB_MAIL__SMTP_PASS) and src/mail.rs wraps lettre in a small
plain-text Mailer built once at server start. Each stored access request
now emails mail.notify_to in a spawned task with the address, reason,
time, and a link to /dashboard/users. POST /request-access shares the
login endpoint's per-IP limiter (server.login_attempts per window).

The article dashboard page gains a "Nearest articles (any)" table: the
ten closest stored embeddings by cosine, regardless of rating or run,
via a brute-force scan of article_embeddings. The deep-assessment format
facet grows from 5 to 14 values (code_repository, documentation_reference,
tool_or_product_page, discussion_thread, paper_or_report,
interview_or_transcript, video_or_podcast, fiction_or_humor, other) and
the triage kind from 10 to 16 (repo, docs, discussion, paper, media,
fiction), so a GitHub repository is no longer forced into analysis_essay.

The Ratings page gains an "Import ratings" form: paste URLs (one per
line), choose a verdict and an optional note. Rows land in the new
rating_imports table and the new import-ratings job (same systemd job
template as the rest of the catalogue) canonicalizes each URL, reuses or
fetches + extracts the article, embeds it with Voyage when enabled, and
appends an explicit rating event with source "import". Per-URL status
shows on the Ratings page; the job page's journal is the live log.
Imported articles have no entry row (best_entry_id NULL, feed "Imported")
and no sources, so they act as rated neighbours without touching the
feed prior. The CLI's rating-event construction moves to rate::record_explicit
and the dashboard job start path is shared as jobs::start_job.

The query-string exclusion was written as the pattern string "/*\?*",
meaning "any path, then a literal ?, then anything". It never meant that.
A URL pattern string is split into components before escapes are resolved,
so the ? still ends the pathname: the pattern parses as pathname `/*` with
search `*`, and search `*` matches the empty query too. Sitting inside a
`not`, it excluded every same-origin URL, so both rules reduced to
`(matches) AND NOT (everything)` and no link was ever speculated.
Filter on the query with the component form instead, whose parts are
separate by construction. Name `pathname` alongside `search`: an object
that omits it inherits `/` from the document URL and matches nothing —
the same silent failure wearing different clothes.
Also prerender /issues, which `/issues/*` does not cover.
The MDN example this was modelled on, "/*\?*(^|&)add-to-cart=*", does
work, because what follows the ? lands in the search component and says
something there. Only the bare * collapsed.
Verified by evaluating the shipped JSON through URLPattern: /, /issues,
/issues/<date> and its chapters prerender; ?page=2, /logout, /rate and
/static/* do not; /dashboard* prefetches. Covered by a test that rejects
a ? in any href_matches string and a `search` component without its
`pathname`; it fails on the old rules.
