What I shipped in November

Monthly systems note. New sources added, things I rebuilt, what's coming.

Added: two more breach feeds.

Coverage went up modestly. Member-base impact: a small spike in early-November notes as the new feeds back-filled exposure for clients who had quietly been compromised in older breaches. After the back-fill it settled.

Rebuilt: the photo-surfacing layer.

Old version was slow and false-positive heavy. New version uses better embeddings and matches across video frames not just stills. Cover clients noticed slightly more meme-site coverage starting mid-month.

Coming: the sanctions watcher rewrite.

Currently in test. Aim is to push sanctions adjacency hits to the team within 90 seconds of OFAC publication. We're at four minutes today.
