First, ranking and freshness. Without a paid reranker, fallback ranking undervalued real engagement and counted freshness twice, burying high-signal stories. Pull request 1270 reweights engagement and removes that double count. Paired with that, pull request 1266 stops years-old videos from leaking into recent-topic…
Second, efficiency and predictability. A run-scoped fetch memo, in pull request 1260, means identical source searches run once per run instead of three or four times, cutting network load and duplicate transcript fetches. Host-supplied query plans also no longer gain unwanted jobs searches.
Third, Headroom proxy reliability and safety. Fixes carry shared proxy extensions into dedicated Copilot proxies, honor GitHub's advertised Business and Enterprise hosts by default, and keep line-anchored detection patterns linear on blank-line runs so compression can't stall health checks.
