- New source_candidates staging table (status suggested/quarantined/rejected/
promoted, preview_json snapshot) so untrusted/suggested feeds stay out of the
real ingestion path until reviewed.
- sources.py: save_candidate (re-preview never revives a curator's rejection),
list_candidates, reject_candidate, promote_candidate (copies into sources,
inactive by default — active on approval; never automatic).
- CLI: suggest-source / list-candidates / promote-candidate / reject-candidate.
- API: read-only GET /api/candidates (writes stay CLI-only — no unauthenticated
public write surface yet).
- Fix deprecated ElementTree truth-value test in _parse_rss.
- Tests: candidate lifecycle (save/list/promote/reject, status preservation,
name derivation) — 51 total.

- LocalModelClient.embed() calls the OpenAI-compatible /embeddings endpoint
(local nomic model); base_url shared with chat, model via GOODNEWS_EMBED_MODEL.
- New article_embeddings table and articles.duplicate_of column (+ migration).
- dedup module: embeds missing articles, clusters near-identical stories within
a date window by cosine similarity (pure-stdlib, vectors normalised once), and
marks all but the highest-ranked member of each cluster as a duplicate.
- 'dedup' CLI command; cycle now runs poll -> classify -> dedup -> brief.
- Feed and brief queries hide duplicates, so a story carried by multiple
outlets shows once.

- New taxonomy module: single source of truth for 6 topics x 5 flavors,
shared by the LLM response schema (enum-constrained) and validation.
- Classifier now assigns one topic + one flavor per article; json_schema
enums force valid values, with coercion as a safety net.
- article_scores gains topic/flavor columns via an idempotent migration.
- New 'list-category' command to browse by topic and/or flavor, ranked by
composite score.
