Daemon Feed Broaden Types And Round Robin 2026 07 15

const slotsPerType = Math.max(2, Math.ceil(limit / 4)); const byType: Record<string, ...> = { ... }; for (const r of rows) { if (byType[r.type].length < slotsPerType) byType[r.type].push(r); } // Round-robin interleave by priority order const buckets = []; for (const t of ["original", "writing", "concept", "idea"]) { buckets.push([...byType[t], ...(byType[t + "s"] ?? [])]); } while (!exhausted && interleaved.length < limit) { exhausted = true; for (const bucket of buckets) { if (bucket.length > 0) { interleaved.push(bucket.shift()!); exhausted = false; } } }

1. Surface the broadest pool of public content that makes sense for the surface. Don't narrow too aggressively — the user's brain has more visitor-worthy material than any single type. 2. Use blend scores, not single-axis sorts. Pure recency hides evergreen ideas; pure link-count hides new ideas; pure type counts hide diversity. 3. Round-robin when single-axis sort can't capture the intent. When "I want a mix" is the goal, round-robin by type-bucket guarantees the mix.

A separate but related issue surfaced during this fix. The page concepts/obsidian-cards-first-batch-2026-07-05 had 2535 inbound links — all link_source='frontmatter'. When the autopilot ingests 30+ Obsidian cards, every card's frontmatter tags this concept as a source, generating 30+ back-links per card.
