Insight Brief

Insight Brief — 2026-05-15

  1. South Korea missing four batches running. Zero releases in 48h again — the gap has now persisted across four consecutive batches. Persistent scraper-side issue requires source-side fix.
  2. France volume collapsed to 3 entries. France produced 17 in the prior batch and 8 the batch before. Three in 48h is implausibly low — likely a fresh scraper gap.
  3. Germany at a single entry. Down from 7 the previous batch. Same scraper concern as France.
  4. EU institutional output thinner than usual. No European Parliament, Court of Justice, or ECB entries in 48h. EP between plenaries is plausible; the CJEU and ECB silences look like scraper gaps worth checking.
  5. South Africa Presidency feed FIXED. All 11 Presidency entries now contain real summary text (vs. "block is broken or missing" placeholder in the last three batches). Upstream fix appears to have landed.
  6. India's Defence Ministry mislabelling persists. 37 of 52 India entries (71%) are PMO/general government content tagged to रक्षा मंत्रालय.
  7. Canada bilingual duplication continues. Several French-English paired entries inflate Canada's 85 to a real unique count closer to ~60.
  8. Indonesia at 5 entries, all Ministry of Trade. Constitutional Court, Bank Indonesia, and the broader cabinet absent — appears to be feed-narrowing rather than genuine silence.
  9. No article_summary-column issues this batch. English summaries available across all entries, no SharePoint placeholders, no garbled mojibake. Cleanest input file in the recent run.
