  • Optional recency window and max items.
  • Execution mode, default auto.
  • Working directory.

Run States

  • Records: news and blog records.

Right Drawer

Selected item shows headline, date, URL, summary, source snippet, provider, and confidence.

Empty, Error, And Blocked States

If no official news/blog exists, Scout should show the searched sources and say what was not found. Silent zero records is a failure.
