- ArticleCard: derive safeHref from article.url and reset image-failure state
when the article changes, so in-place replacements re-evaluate correctly
(clears the Svelte capture warning; build is warning-free again).
- Downweight paywalled stories below readable ones (stable sort) when composing
the daily five and in feed results — the brief now leads readable and rarely
hands over a locked door.
- review_sources gains a 'paywall-heavy' advisory flag (Nature, New Scientist
flag at 100%); never auto-deactivates.
- New Scientist/Nature kept active but no longer reach the daily five; they
remain browsable with the label + Replace.
- Tests: brief readability preference + paywall-heavy flag (79 total).

- Add pytest suite (34 tests) covering scoring thresholds, dedup clustering +
representative selection + time window, brief source/category diversity,
avoid-term phrase matching, and text canonicalization/truncation.
- Rewrite _select_diverse with an explicit, tested contract (best-first, one
per source, backfill, then inject a second category by evicting the
lowest-ranked pick).
- classify_articles now returns attempted/succeeded/skipped (ClassifyReport) so
silent model failures are visible in both the cycle and classify output.
- Fix clean_text truncation to stay within max_len (ellipsis no longer
overshoots).
- New filters.py: canonical FilterPrefs shape (include/mute topics+flavors,
avoid_terms, pauses) and pure word/phrase-boundary matching engine seeding
Calm Filters. Not yet wired into the API.

- 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.

- Briefs now fill from a rolling window (prefer today, backfill up to
window_days) and exclude anything featured in the last 7 days of briefs, so
slow days still produce five items without stories lingering day to day.
- New 'check-feeds' command fetches and parses every feed to catch dead ones.
- Added 16 validated sources (science, environment, animals, culture),
expanding coverage from 12 to 28 feeds to reduce staleness.
