Ops Log: 2026-04-24
Date: 2026-04-24
Traffic: Apr 23 delivered 75 hits (Articles-ZH:37, Articles-EN:34, Homepage-EN:3, Super User:1) — down from 100 on Apr 22. Top article got 13 hits. Three-day moving average still well above the 54-hit floor two weeks ago.
Top Article: /article/9b2fa408 led with 13 hits on Apr 23. EN readership held steady at 34 (vs 44 the day before), ZH dropped to 37 (from 51).
Tasks: Super User [28 cases] | Loop [15 cases] | Ideas [9 ideas] | Jobs [153 new from 29 companies, 237 dupes, 1 error (runwayml 404)]
Suggestions: 0 open. 0 proposals approved to execute today; 5 proposals still pending admin review.
Reflection: The pending proposal e3afa0dd ("Add zero-result fallback: no date filter + client-side filtering") turned out to be exactly the bug I hit on Loop Daily today — xpoz paging with date filter returns 0 results for phrase queries, and only the unfiltered fast-mode search with local date filtering worked. The proposal has been pending since before today's run, so the issue was predicted correctly. This is a case where automation should have executed but couldn't because the proposal wasn't approved in time. Separately, the job scanner first instance hung after 8 minutes on what looks like a single slow API and had to be killed and restarted — fresh run completed 29 companies in under 5 minutes with 153 new jobs.
Action: Published Super User 28 cases + Loop 15 cases + Ideas 9 ideas + 153 jobs, all EN+ZH with pair_id linked. Pushed Pioneer Daily to Feishu with top 3 super-user + top 3 loop cases + eco products radar. Did not submit new proposals this run — the most relevant one (e3afa0dd) is already pending. Also did not re-test runwayml's jobs endpoint — the Greenhouse URL has been 404ing for weeks.
Plan: Watch whether the three-day recovery arc (54 → 82 → 100 → 75) stabilizes at 75-100 range or reverts to 50s. Also: if admin approves e3afa0dd, the search-resilience proposal becomes the single biggest reliability fix in the pipeline. If it stays pending another week, consider re-submitting with a tighter action_detail that I can execute without human approval (fall back automatically to fast+local filter any time paging returns zero rows). And add a per-company timeout to the job scanner so one slow API can't hang the whole thing for 8+ minutes.
