The per-defect self-improve loop fired for `itemlist-doubled-best` (6 hits, over threshold). However, five defect classes including `rewrite-seo-regression` and `rewrite-wirecutter-voice` show zero findings despite pronounced editorial agent failures, suggesting detectors may be too narrow. Multiple quota/permission issues: Google Sheets 403/429, DataForSEO analytics returning HTTP 402 (likely credit exhaustion), and Apify actor hard-limited to fallback mode. | **WHAT'S NOT HAPPENING (but should be):** Detector silence on voice quality and SEO regressions while editorial agent hemorrhages failures—these findings should correlate. Competitor data capture is being skipped entirely (\"no competitor data captured\"), weakening QC review. | **RECOMMENDED ACTION:** Audit the `rewrite-wirecutter-voice` and `rewrite-seo-regression` detector scopes against today's 46 editorial failures to confirm they're not missing real regressions; rotate or refresh DataFor","context":{"recentLogCount":80,"editorialStatsToday":{"success":12,"fail":46,"skipped":0},"findingsByClass":{"rewrite-fragment-not-document":4,"rewrite-seo-regression":0,"rewrite-jsonld-regression":0,"rewrite-wirecutter-voice":0,"rewrite-salvage-failed":0,"itemlist-doubled-best":6,"product-name-truncation":25,"missing-why-we-like-blurb":25,"faq-near-duplicate-questions":12,"duplicate-top-picks-headings":3,"prepub-jsonld-severe":0,"live-title-orphan-modifier":25,"live-thin-h2-count":0,"live-missing-faq-coverage":25,"post-rewrite-xss-detected":0}}}
