Full changelog: v0.5.3...v2.0.0

v0.5.3 — Threads Official Guidelines Integration

What's New

Integrated official Threads creator guidelines from https://creators.instagram.com/threads into the content quality framework.

Algorithm Penalty Pre-Checks (NEW)

get_scoring_guide() now returns a penalty_precheck block — 4 checks that must pass before scoring:

ID	Penalty
no_clickbait	Hook promises something the body doesn't deliver
no_engagement_bait	Explicitly asks for likes/reposts/follows
no_contest_violation	Contest/giveaway requires engagement to enter
original_content	Cross-posted without original angle

Enhanced Review Checklist

get_review_checklist() expanded from 9 → 15 items (EN + ZH-TW):

• 4 new critical (algorithm_penalty): clickbait, engagement bait, contest violation, originality
• 3 new warning/info: tone_authenticity, topic_tag, reply_strategy
• media_enhancement upgraded: info → warning (officially recommended by Threads)

Key Insight from Official Guidelines

"Replies account for nearly half of Threads views. Interacting with other creators' content is just as important as posting your own original content."

All checklist items now include this context for the LLM reviewer.

Consistency Fix

Penalty IDs are now consistent between get_scoring_guide() and get_review_checklist() — both use the same no_clickbait, no_engagement_bait, no_contest_violation, original_content naming.

Full Changelog: v0.5.2...v0.5.3

v0.5.2

What's New

v0.5.1 — Datetime Hardening + 183 Tests

Fixed

• Replaced all deprecated datetime.utcnow() / utcfromtimestamp() with timezone-aware alternatives (Python 3.12+ compat)
• Defensive timezone handling in velocity calculation — correctly handles both naive and aware timestamps
• Normalize Z-suffix timestamps via .replace("Z", "+00:00") for Python 3.10 compat in velocity parsing
• Unparseable timestamps now return direction="new" instead of false velocity spike
• MCP get_trending tool docstring now lists all 20 sources (was missing arxiv, producthunt, lemmy, dcard, ptt)
• published field in Reddit/StackOverflow items now uses +00:00 offset instead of Z suffix (both valid ISO 8601)
• README: MCP tool count 10 → 11, added missing render_page tool

Added

• py.typed marker (PEP 561) for downstream type-checking support
• 62 unit tests for all 20 sources with mocked HTTP responses (test_sources.py)
• 7 velocity enrichment tests covering rising/declining/stable/new/invalid-timestamp/z-suffix/aware-timestamp paths
• Total test count: 121 → 183
