Search: new FTS5-backed SearchStories query, /search JSON endpoint,
client-side overlay (search.js) wired into the layout header. EU
channel gets its own theme color (#003399) across bg/text/border/glow
classes. Sources can now route to non-Matrix channels without
validation error (web-only mode); a warning still flags typos.
Bypass-UA retry (Googlebot + Google referer) for soft paywalls, JSON-LD
gating scoped to Article-typed nodes, HTTP 402 treated as explicit
paywall, Wayback freshness filter (30d cap), archive.today as secondary
archive fallback, and transport failures no longer trigger snapshot
swaps. When gating is detected and no archive workaround succeeds, the
story is stored with paywalled=1 and the web card renders a diagonal
red rubber-stamp overlay so readers know the link is gated.
- Add music as a fourth channel (nav + theme color)
- Glowing themed border on cards that have been posted to Matrix
- Replace per-channel index sections with: "Pete just posted" strip,
channel dashboard (last post, 24h count, totals), unified latest feed
- /img proxy: SSRF-guarded thumbnail re-encoder that resizes to 800px
and runs avifenc -q 45, cached under data/img-cache
Pete moves to a remote host without Ollama access. Every source must
declare a direct_route channel; the classifier, explainer, semantic
dedup, !explain summaries, feed_hint, and the recent_headlines /
classification_log tables are gone. Deterministic dedup (canonical URL,
headline_norm, per-channel cooldown) remains.
Serves Pete's classified-story archive over HTTP alongside the Matrix
bot. Three sections (gaming/tech/politics), Animal-Crossing-vibe Tailwind
templates, day/night palette driven by the visitor's browser clock.
Web port configurable via web.listen_addr and ${PETE_WEB_PORT} in
docker-compose. Tailwind built in a node stage in the Dockerfile so
deployments don't need node at runtime.
Source-keyed rotation skewed toward whichever channel had the most
feeds (4 of 7 sources routed to politics, so politics dominated the
rotation). Channel-keyed rotation guarantees variety regardless of
feed counts.
Schema: round_robin_state.last_source -> last_channel, added via
addColumnIfMissing so existing DBs migrate in place.
- !post falls back to newest unposted story for the channel when the
in-memory queue is empty (the steady state under round-robin).
- Accept ❓️/❔️ (U+FE0F variation selector) as question reactions —
the bare codepoints alone missed clients that render the colored emoji.
- Rewrite Guardian i.guim.co.uk thumbnails to width=1200 so we stop
rejecting real images as "tracking pixels"; relabel the size warning.
- Log decrypt failures and reactions on events not in post_log so future
silent drops surface instead of vanishing.
One story per interval_hours (default 4), cycling through enabled sources
in config order. Empty sources are skipped and the pointer advances to
whichever source actually posted. State persists across restarts.
Duplicate-flagged stories now get a _duplicate sentinel channel so they
stay out of the rotation pool alongside _discarded.
Four related fixes after Pete flooded a channel and ignored Ctrl-C:
1. Global daily cap (posting.daily_cap_total, default 5): hard ceiling on
posts across ALL channels in a rolling 24h window. Checked before the
per-channel min-interval and burst-cap.
2. Shutdown no longer flushes the queue. Previous drainAll posted every
remaining item with rate limits disabled — which was literally the
flood. Replaced with dropOnShutdown that clears queues and logs
the count.
3. Poller respects ctx mid-loop. pollOnceWithErr now takes ctx and bails
between items, so Ctrl-C doesn't have to wait for ~30s of network
per pending story before shutdown can complete.
4. Double-image fix. PostStory now reports imageSent; the queue clears
ImageURL before retry so a text-send failure after a successful
image upload doesn't re-post the image.
When a user reacts ❓ on one of Pete's posts, fetch the article body,
ask Ollama for a 3-bullet summary, and post it as a threaded reply
rooted at the original story event. Per-process cooldown of 5min per
story keeps repeated reactions from re-summarizing.
- ingestion.FetchArticleBody: visible <p> text capped at 8000 chars
- classifier.OllamaClient.GenerateText: non-JSON variant
- storage.GetStoryByGUID: full row lookup
- matrix.PostThreadedReply: m.thread + m.in_reply_to fallback
- poster.SetReactionCallback: optional hook fired after recording
- New package: internal/explainer
