Migration 0004 (users, sessions, config_changes, profile_versions, jobs,
rating_events.user_id, runs.report_json, issues.issue_json), the issue
snapshot writer and loader, the web module skeleton with layout and static
assets, axum-login/tower-sessions over a sqlx session store, password-auth
users with a CLI, the login throttle, the origin check, security headers,
and the public issue pages, archive, Atom feed and robots.txt.

[llm] assigns the bulk and editor roles by name over a [providers.*]
registry (kind = openai | anthropic, per-provider model, effort, daily
ceiling and price table); DeepseekBackend becomes OpenAiCompatibleBackend
(reasoning_effort passthrough), AnthropicBackend builds from the same
ProviderConfig, meters and provider_costs are keyed by provider name.
Gemini 3.8 Flash is declared via Google's OpenAI-compatible endpoint so
switching the editor is one line (or DAILY_EPUB_LLM__EDITOR=gemini for an
A/B dry run). Stale [deepseek]/[anthropic] tables, the top-level
max_daily_usd and the old key env vars fail loudly.
daily-epub config check validates and prints the resolved roles, models,
key presence and paths without opening the database.
docs/runbooks/curation-v2-migration.md walks the server upgrade from v1.
Registry implemented by a Claude agent from an orchestrator brief;
verified fmt/clippy(-W dead_code)/test green.

Dead code and stale v1 comments removed (clippy -W dead_code clean, the
three world.rs warnings fixed), the Brief chapter's TOC title renamed from
"From the Editor", features prune now also sweeps article_assessments and
generate runs the sweep once after publishing, the example config is
tested key-for-key against Config::default(), README commands match
--help, and docs/plans/2026-08-15-implementation-notes.md records the
Anthropic and Voyage facts, the new tables, the budget-day rule and the
lock.
Implemented by a Claude agent from docs/plans/curation-v2-briefs/step7.md.

assess.rs replaces score.rs (DEEP_INSTRUCTIONS, representative sample
with [BEGINNING]/[MIDDLE]/[END], facets, cached deep rows with --rescore
bypass), rank.rs adds the utility blend over present signals with gate
ramps and the leader-clustered shortlist (cap 2 → 3 → uncapped, protected
top-N, exploration reserve), editor.rs replaces select.rs with the §13
rendering and utility-ordered fallbacks. ScoredArticle is gone; Candidate
is the only flow type. deep_batch_size replaces score_batch_size.
Started by Codex (cut off by its usage limit mid-verification) and
finished by a Claude agent from docs/plans/curation-v2-briefs/step5.md;
reviewed against plan §12–§13.

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.

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.
