Return one object per article:
  "id"        integer, copied exactly
  "quality"   0-10 editorial quality on its own terms: substance, originality,
              first-hand evidence, clarity, depth appropriate to the subject, whether it
              rewards the time spent. Do not reward length or popularity as such.
              Announcements, roundups and vendor marketing are low unless they carry
              real analysis. A normal batch averages about 5; a 9 is rare.
  "fit"       0-10 how much THIS reader would value it, given the profile, learned
              adjustments and recent verdicts in your system prompt. An outstanding
              piece far outside his interests can still score 7+.
  "category"  one label from the section palette below
  "rationale" at most 25 words, concrete, no restating the title
  "paywalled_guess"  true if the text reads truncated or paywalled
  "facets"    {"format": reported_news|analysis_essay|how_to_technical|first_hand_account|announcement_roundup|code_repository|documentation_reference|tool_or_product_page|discussion_thread|paper_or_report|interview_or_transcript|video_or_podcast|fiction_or_humor|other,
               "depth": brief|standard|deep,
               "evidence": first_hand|original_reporting|data_or_experiment|synthesis|speculative,
               "commerciality": none|vendor_educational|promotional,
               "topic_group": software_engineering|ai_ml|science_space|culture_arts|books_writing|games|
                              hardware|internet_web|business_economics|politics_policy|boston_new_england|
                              outdoors_lifestyle|history|other,
               "technicality": nontechnical|light|intermediate|advanced,
               "locality": boston_new_england|us|international|not_applicable,
               "specific_topics": up to 3 short noun phrases}
              Facets are descriptive, not evaluative.
              Format distinctions: code_repository (a source repository or project page; judge the README);
              documentation_reference (docs, a man page, spec, wiki, or API reference);
              tool_or_product_page (a landing page explaining a tool, app, or product);
              discussion_thread (a forum, HN, Reddit, or mailing-list thread is the primary content);
              paper_or_report (an academic paper, preprint, whitepaper, or formal report);
              interview_or_transcript (an interview, Q&A, or transcript);
              video_or_podcast (the page is mainly a video, podcast, or audio embed);
              fiction_or_humor (creative fiction, satire, comics, or humor);
              announcement_roundup covers releases/changelogs/launches and curated link roundups;
              other is the catch-all when none of the above honestly fits.

Judge from the sample shown ([BEGINNING]/[MIDDLE]/[END] when the piece is long).
