@@ -2140,3 +2140,62 @@ Hero: Eley's own product photo (eleyhosereels.com CDN, SKU 1120 _Hero.jpg), 1600
 Category: garden (**new** — no existing category fit an outdoor/watering tool; nearest were "home" and "making", both off; matches the find's own outdoor/garden tags).
 Fact-check (against eleyhosereels.com + search): find held up on durability/BIFL but got two things wrong, both corrected in the review. (1) It's the **valve, not the spray head** — SKU 1120 is the swiveling pistol-grip flow-control handle; it ships with no spray pattern, and the actual watering/cleaning nozzles are separate products (standard GHT, so any brand's head fits). The find's "soft, even spray / spray patterns" conflated the valve with a nozzle. (2) **Not strictly factory-direct** — ELEY has an Amazon storefront, contrary to the find's "sells factory-direct rather than through Amazon." Added: $48.94 price, 10-year no-leak/no-fail warranty, and full materials (lead-free brass, chrome-plated brass ball, stainless laminar blade, PTFE/EPDM seals, Santoprene grip).
 Amazon: none added — ELEY has an Amazon brand store but no confident canonical /dp/<ASIN> for the standalone valve surfaced; canonical purchase stays Eley's own site (warranty + matching nozzles live there).

+## 2026-07-11 — capture run
+
+Sources scanned: 59 total — 10 `fetch: skip`, ~19 cadence-skipped (weekly/monthly/as-needed sources all swept in the 07-07 full run, still inside their windows), and 30 actively scanned (all daily feeds + the ongoing shops/sources). Of the 30 active: 13 productive, 15 empty/all-dup/all-dropped, 2 rate-limited (r/shortcuts, r/dadjokes — old.reddit 429). Window: since the 2026-07-10 capture run, plus an Atlas Obscura backlog (place pages dated 06-30–07-01 that recent daily AO scans hadn't captured — confirmed genuinely-new by URL-level dedup). Fanned out 8 scanner subagents (source clusters) → central dedup/bar/shortlist → 5 writer subagents (files + heroes) + a Wikimedia hero pass to rescue the four Cloudflare-blocked Atlas Obscura travel heroes.

+Shortlist (12, ranked):
+1. bunny-screenshot — on-device AI search across years of junk-named screenshots; clean single virtue, strong hero. [review candidate]
+2. boker-cable-knife — WWI signal-corps cable knife reissued in rust-proof 440A; the stripping edge doubles as a fire-steel striker. Heritage story, clean hero, Amazon. [review candidate]
+3. wyrm-math — gesture algebra where illegal moves are physically impossible to drag into place; delightful pedagogy, hero + browser demo. [review candidate]
+4. corelle-vitrelle-dinnerware — 15-year no-chip BIFL report on triple-layer Vitrelle glass; broad appeal, hero, Amazon.
+5. venice-bridge-fights — Public Domain Review collection of Venice's staged bridge-brawl art; delightful browse, license-clean hero.
+6. tomb-of-dai-anga — overlooked 1671 Mughal mausoleum behind Lahore's rail lines; strong story, Wikimedia hero.
+7. clarity-encrypted-vault — encrypted-vault Mac file manager with on-the-go metadata stripping; useful, hero.
+8. irish-setter-ashby — 4-year "still looks new" BIFL work-boot report; hero.
+9. evergreen-56-dry-box — IP67 crushproof case that floats with 3 lb of gear inside; hero.
+10. chessflex — accountless, serverless chess: pass-and-play by QR scan, plus FIDE-rated AI; hero.
+11. voicedot — spin-the-globe of real strangers' short recorded voice stories; pure delight (no hero).
+12. stacks-hypercard — classic HyperCard stacks running natively on a modern Mac, no emulator; delight (no hero).
+
+Amazon links added: 2 (corelle-vitrelle-dinnerware → /dp/B00R790CLY, boker-cable-knife → /dp/B0GS7Q9Z9J). Omitted for irish-setter-ashby (Amazon listings are size/width/toe-specific — no clean canonical parent ASIN; "when in doubt, omit"), and for fatty-snap-wallet / evergreen-56 / dnd-dice-light / outlier-sunwarp (DTC/Etsy/renamed-SKU — no confident exact match).
+
+Image-fetch notes (revisit-later media patterns): mispher (only asset is a marketing banner with overlay tagline), tomesphere-atlas (client-rendered map, no og:image), voicedot (og:image is a logo/tagline title card), stacks-hypercard (og:image is a marketing-overlay graphic), dnd-dice-light (Etsy 403 to every UA). The four Atlas Obscura travel heroes were Cloudflare-blocked at source and rescued from Wikimedia Commons instead (Dai Anga tomb, Maze Prison, Fall River gates, Grotto Falls) — all license-clean.
+
+Source maintenance: none — sources.json untouched (`updated` unchanged). Watch: r/shortcuts old.reddit `.rss` 429'd again (2nd consecutive run after 07-10; one more consecutive block trips the step-6 feed-probe/skip rule), r/dadjokes old.reddit `.rss` 429'd (1st this week — productive as recently as 07-10, treat as transient). No source hit the 3rd-consecutive-block threshold, none is dormant-3-runs, no skip entry is 90+ days old, so no mechanical edit was due.
+
+Dropped (bar): codex-xband-strap (Gear Patrol) — the writer confirmed it is a pre-launch Kickstarter campaign with no shipping product or brand site yet; fails the no-speculative/not-yet-shipping bar, folder removed rather than published.
+
+New source nominees: 2 (see candidate-sources.md) — The Public Domain Review (strong general-delight feed candidate, surfaced via Kottke), The Gadgeteer (lesser trail nominee).
