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 05 — /last30days Lan Xuezhao
What this session proved (cleanest): the from:-AND-bug AND the total absence of a mention lane — directly motivating the "FROM + TO/ABOUT, with weight" requirement.
Key evidence
- Engine X column = finance/VC keyword collisions (
@TheValueist,@arnaudmercier,@pierskicks) + one@hardmaru"Thanks, Lan!" reply. None authored by @xuezhao. - Verified mechanism:
--x-handle=xuezhao→from:xuezhao lan xuezhao since:...(topic AND) → ~0. The unfilteredfrom:xuezhao since:branch is unreachable because topic is always truthy (→ A1). - Structural gap: "the engine only runs from: (authored-by) and keyword searches. There is no @xuezhao / to:xuezhao mention query anywhere in the pipeline" (→ A2).
- Manual unfiltered
from:xuezhaopulled 12 real posts (DeepSeek take, "new AI stack is global, sovereign and embedded", SpaceX grind) — genuinely interesting, all missed by the engine. - Mentions were rich too (practitioners asking about her transcription/Hermes-dashboard rig) — exactly the "TO/ABOUT the person, with weight" lane the user now wants.
- Engagement counts came back 0 on the manual cookie-search field — note for weighting the mention/from lanes (resolve metrics per-tweet).
Bugs surfaced → inventory IDs
A1 (from-AND), A2 (no mention lane), A3 (silent log), plus the FROM+ABOUT-with-weight requirement.
