The last-chance X keyword retry collapsed a multi-word subquery to a bare `max(candidates, key=len)` token — e.g. 'trevin chow ai agents compound' became 'compound since:...', flooding the X pool with off-topic 'compound interest/nevus' posts. Keep the entity anchor (first distinctive topic token) in the retry, optionally plus the strongest distinctive token; better to return 0 than over-broaden to an unanchored generic term. Also lands the investigation that grounds the X/funny fix plan, including the verified correction that Digg's X-enrichment was a red herring — it renders as Digg-cluster quotes, never enters the X column (so the planned Digg-filter unit was dropped as a non-occurring path).

Session 03 — /last30days Kevin Rose
What this session proved: mid-profile names are swamped by collisions, and the model leaks tooling-failure meta-commentary into the deliverable.
Key evidence
- "Kevin Rose" pulled Kevin Warsh (new Fed chair), Leon Rose (Knicks), Kevin Durant, Kevin Hart — 55 engine items, ~zero genuinely about the Digg founder. The 123K-upvote r/technology haul was all other people.
- The synthesis opened with a paragraph narrating the engine's own miss: "the social-listening engine struck out on Kevin Rose … 'Kevin Rose' collided with much louder newsmakers…" — clutter the user must read past (→ C3).
- A disambiguated re-run (every subquery locked to "Digg founder" context) killed the Warsh/Durant noise and surfaced real signal — proving disambiguation is the lever, not a synthesis band-aid (→ A7).
Bugs surfaced → inventory IDs
A7 (name-collision / disambiguation), C3 (meta-commentary in output).
