Extend scanning window from 30 to 90 days
Goal
Allow --days up to 90 for pre-event deep research (currently hard-capped at 30).
Changes required
1. Argparse validation (BLOCKING)
File: scripts/last30days.py:1458
# OLD
choices=range(1, 31),
help="Number of days to look back (1-30, default: 30)",
# NEW
choices=range(1, 91),
help="Number of days to look back (1-90, default: 30)",2. Recency scoring — propagate max_days
File: scripts/lib/dates.py:110 — already parameterized (good), default stays 30.
File: scripts/lib/score.py — ALL 10 score_* functions need max_days: int = 30 parameter, passed to dates.recency_score(item.date, max_days=max_days):
score_reddit_items(line 120, call at 148)score_x_items(line 185, call at 208)score_youtube_items(line 264, call at 277)score_tiktok_items(line 323, call at 336)score_instagram_items(line 382, call at 395)score_hackernews_items(line 440, call at 453)score_bluesky_items(line 500, call at 513)score_truthsocial_items(line 559, call at 569)score_polymarket_items(line 614, call at 627)score_websearch_items(line 654, call at 677)
Each function signature: add max_days: int = 30 as last parameter.
Each dates.recency_score(item.date) call: change to dates.recency_score(item.date, max_days=max_days).
3. Callers of score_* functions
Find all call sites of score_reddit_items(), score_x_items(), etc. in last30days.py and pass max_days=args.days.
4. Reddit ScrapeCreators timeframe
File: scripts/lib/reddit.py:30-48
For deep depth config, change "timeframe": "month" to "timeframe": "year" when days > 30. This requires the days parameter to be accessible in the reddit module. Options:
- Pass
daysto the reddit search function - Or add a
timeframeoverride parameter
5. Tests
- Update any tests that validate
--daysrange - Add test:
--days 90accepted by argparse - Add test:
recency_score("2026-01-01", max_days=90)returns >0 for 60-day-old items - Add test: Reddit timeframe uses "year" when days > 30
Notes
- Default stays 30 days (backward compatible)
- Polymarket Gamma API, HN Algolia, YouTube yt-dlp all support arbitrary date ranges
- X/xAI search window may be limited — document if so
