DeepSeek's content filter rejects a whole request (400 "Content Exists
Risk") when one article trips it, which cost the other articles in the
batch their assessment and retried them every run. New curate/batch.rs
runs both stages through a bisecting runner: a rejected batch is split
until the offending article is isolated, that article is retried once on
the editor provider when it is a different one, and a still-rejected
article is recorded as a provider_rejected assessment row so it is not
retried for assessment_reuse_days. Cache reuse accepts rows from either
configured model. Each stage logs reused/requested/rejected counts, the
curation: line shows rejections when non-zero, explain prints them, and
the llm_assess span reports the deep-set size.
