Review — 2026-10-18

During each gather cycle, each topic journal’s LLM pass flags meta-observations — emerging themes, keyword suggestions, sources to watch, coverage gaps, and noise patterns. This review pulls those observations together across all topics from the most recent gather cycle (2026-10-18), presenting them for verdict (keep / dismiss / action) and identifying cross-topic patterns that span multiple journals.

Each topic section carries a flags setting that controls how many observations reach this review. flags: always includes every meta-observation the LLM produced during gathering. flags: surprise_only filters to unexpected signals — emerging themes, emerging patterns, and quality signals — reducing noise on topics where routine observations rarely warrant action.

Verdict column to be filled during review session. Options: keep / dismiss / action. Actions result in config YAML changes and Strategy Changelog entries in the relevant topic journal.
