 ### Changed
 
 - Discovery is now a three-command host-judged protocol (SKILL.md LAW 11: "YOU ARE THE JUDGE"): `--discover --nominate-only` writes a nominations bundle and a fenced judging digest, the hosting model writes a judgments file (short names, junk flags, worthiness) and later an angles file, and `--discover --judgments <file>` / `--discover --finalize [--angles <file>]` complete the run. No API key is ever needed for host-judged trending. ([#856](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/856))

 > **Permissions overview:** Reads public web/platform data and optionally saves research briefings to `LAST30DAYS_MEMORY_DIR` (defaults to `~/Documents/Last30Days`). X/Twitter search uses optional user-provided tokens (AUTH_TOKEN/CT0 env vars). Bluesky search uses optional app password (BSKY_HANDLE/BSKY_APP_PASSWORD env vars - create at bsky.app/settings/app-passwords). On hosts with `uv` and no Python 3.12+, the preflight may install a uv-managed CPython 3.12 (one-time ~28MB download, announced on stderr). All credential usage and data writes are documented in the [Security & Permissions](#security--permissions) section.
