Description
MC-4273
Elmar reports daily radio show is repetitive: recurring topics are fine, but it should only say what is new since prior episodes, not re-narrate already-covered stories/angles.
Diagnosis from current system:
- radio-show already has a basic append-only ledger at ~/workspace/state/radio_ledger.jsonl and injects last 14 days into the NotebookLM prompt.
- The ledger is prompt-only; it does not filter sources before NotebookLM sees them.
- Search results often include generic landing pages / evergreen feeds (e.g. Reuters latest, AI leaderboards, Aviation Week homepage, price pages), causing repeated angles even with the prompt.
Acceptance criteria:
1. Add upstream novelty filtering before seeding NotebookLM:
- reject exact URL/title duplicates from recent radio_ledger entries
- reject generic/feed/homepage/price pages unless no real articles exist
- group similar ongoing stories into a thread_id and keep only genuinely new developments
2. Expand ledger schema to store per-story URL, normalized title, topic, first_seen, last_seen, thread_id, summary/angle, and status/open_threads.
3. Change audio prompt language from "do not repeat" to "only discuss the delta since last coverage; if no delta, say it in one sentence or skip".
4. Add a freshness score and per-topic fallback: if a priority-1 topic has no true new development, include a 20-second "nothing material changed" item rather than a full segment.
5. Add tests around duplicate/generic filtering using recent real ledger examples.
6. Verify next dry-run seed contains fewer generic repeated headlines and still covers material new developments.
Expected check-in: today with implementation plan or first patch.
