An interest matches an article only when it is in the top three by z and
z >= 1.0, so the Matches line, the stored rows and the weights agree. The
new bounded affinity signal blends each matched interest's rating-derived
weight, gated on attributable ratings like feed affinity.

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).

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.
