🔄 How It Works

The pipeline runs every day (06:00 UTC) in transhumanists/apis, and can be triggered manually via Actions → Pipeline → Run workflow:

1. RSS scraper pulls 80+ feeds (Nature, arXiv, IEEE, Phys.org, Reuters, SpaceNews, The Hacker News, ISW, CISA, NATO, SIPRI, ...). Higher-weight feeds contribute proportionally more articles.
2. arXiv historical backfill (opt-in): round-the-clock feeds only expose recent entries, so deeper history is pulled from the arXiv export API on demand. Set the ARXIV_HISTORY_START (YYYY-MM-DD, one-time month-by-month deep backfill) or ARXIV_HISTORY_DAYS (trailing window) repo variable to enable it. Every paper is stamped with its real arXiv submittedDate — nothing is ever backdated arbitrarily. Disabled by default, so routine runs cost nothing.
3. LLM scorer extracts structured milestone data: category, subcategory, value, unit, source, date, geolocation. Milestones are sorted newest-first by date within each category, so backfilled older milestones settle naturally lower down the list (1970-01-01 is the sentinel for undated entries).
4. Self-healer validates feed URLs, replaces dead feeds with known-good alternatives
5. Dashboard updater commits milestones.json, events.json, activity.json to this repo and transhumanists.github.io
6. Facebook poster posts a daily digest to facebook.com/transhumanistsBE
