  • model: gpt-5.4-mini
  • skill: research-report
  • prompt source: ops/codex/prompts/daily-trend-news.md
  • Run Context: Daily Trend News digest for tech-news; cover politics 5, economy 5, technology 5; prioritize the latest 24-48 hours and deliver the structured JSON for the renderer.

Decision Notes

  • Politics was anchored in the Supreme Court, Trump financial disclosure, birth tourism, transgender-athlete, and convention items that all moved inside the same 24-48 hour window.
  • Economy was built from a single live market update plus a few downstream UK restructuring items so the digest would stay compact and current.
  • Technology focused on AI regulation, AI security, app-store competition, and compute scarcity rather than trying to cover every AI headline of the day.

Follow-ups

  • Track state and congressional responses to the Supreme Court items.
  • Watch whether Middle East diplomacy keeps oil and rates under pressure.
  • See whether Anthropic, Apple, and the U.K. regulator prompt follow-on action in the U.S. and EU.
