🔧 RUN NOTES

The CRDT window used the complete 2026-10-02 through run-time date range; no 48-hour expansion was required because the run returned well over five relevant records.
Every watchlist topic was capped at 15 candidates; sentinel was capped at 10.
CBC/ML hematology returned zero in both its primary and required fallback search.
Capped topics were reviewed newest-first using PubMed sort=pub date; truncation is recorded in search_logs.
Letters, comments, editorials, and retracted-publication records were excluded before retention.
