What the scout is watching, what broke out of its own baseline, and which of those mechanisms a client is testing this week.

Each leg arms on the job host by its own env var (DJ_YOUTUBE_LIVE, DJ_REDDIT_WATCH_LIVE, DJ_TIKTOK_WATCH_LIVE, DJ_IG_WATCH_LIVE, DJ_VIDEO_ANALYSIS_LIVE), never in this process. Until a founder sets one, the scout runs on fixtures and snapshots already on disk — which is why a quiet watchlist below is a gate, not a fault.
Watchlist
0 creatorsThe watchlist is emptyScout promotes a candidate to watched on fit and consistency, and demotes one that sits in the bottom quartile. Nothing enters this list by hand.
Outliers
0 flaggedNothing has broken outA video is an outlier against its own creator's median, not against the platform — so a big account and a small one are judged on the same terms.
Mechanisms (§8.2)
0 hypothesesNo mechanisms derived yetConfidence is computed from how much of the video the engine actually read. A metadata-only snapshot scores low and says so, rather than dressing a guess up as a finding.
Mimic assignments (§8.3)
0 assignedNo mimic tests assignedSunday's scout pass matches each testable mechanism to the account it fits, one test per client per week. The mimic producer builds it the following week.
A mimic borrows the mechanism, never the material. The client still approves the result before anything publishes.
