Current time: Monday, February 16th, 2026 — 7:40 PM (UTC)


This is a cron job for my news pulse briefing. Let me break down the requirements:

1. Read memory to extract existing URLs
2. Search broadly across 5 categories (Tech, AI, Global, Markets, Science)
3. Filter duplicates and over-reported stories
4. Ensure diversity - max 2 items per topic
5. Format and send via message tool
6. Append URLs to memory

Let me start by reading my memory files to see what URLs I've already reported.

I'll run the news pulse briefing. Let me start by checking my memory for previously reported URLs.


EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read


I need to check what's in the memory directory first.

I see many news pulse files. Let me read the most recent ones to extract already-reported URLs. I'll check the last few files.


## News Pulse URLs — 2026-02-16 18:20 UTC (Insufficient Items)

### Magoo Briefing — 1:20 PM EST, Monday Feb 16, 2026
Unable to retrieve sufficient diverse items (only 1 found).

### Source URLs Logged (for duplicate checking)
- https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2026/02/16/github-security-advisorie-review-timelines-study/

### Coverage Breakdown
- **Tech:** 1 item (GitHub security advisory study)
- **AI:** 0 items
- **Global:** 0 items

### Search Strategy Notes
- Brave API: Rate limited (429 errors, 1006/2000 quota used)
- SearXNG fallback: Failed to return actual news articles — returned homepages and generic content
- Direct web_fetch: Failed to extract article content from Reuters/TechCrunch/Ars (only footer/navigation extracted)
- Multiple search attempts across all categories yielded no fresh, relevant news articles

### Technical Issues
- Time gap from last pulse: 40 minutes (17:40 → 18:20 UTC)
- SearXNG "day" freshness filter not working as expected
- web_fetch extracting navigation/footer content instead of article bodies
- Need to investigate alternative search strategies

### Next Pulse
Target: 2026-02-16 20:20 UTC (3:20 PM EST)

There's also coverage of the OpenClaw ecosystem developments involving Peter Steinberger and related GitHub activity, Munich conference proceedings, and the Gemini service disruption. Since it's been roughly an hour since the last update cycle, I should pull fresh stories across all beats with a focus on the past day.

Let me search for fresh, diverse news across all categories using the `pd` (past day) freshness filter.
