What changed from the failed run

Reuters, Yahoo Finance, CME, and X were recovered through the signed-in Grok web chat. Exact domain, timestamp, window, and URL gates were applied; one Yahoo record and one X record outside the cutoff were rejected. The scheduled CLI adapter still needs a headless deep-research polling fix.

Rights boundary: summaries are original paraphrases. Reuters and X visuals link to their source-hosted media for local review only. No premium article body is stored.
