site: bucket find/ folders by capture date + 2026-05-09 capture (67 finds)

Migrate every find from src/content/find/<slug>/ to src/content/find/<year>/<month>/<slug>/ — all 289 existing finds moved into 2026/05/. The find content-collection loader gets a new leafSlug generateId so ids (and therefore URLs at /find/<slug>/) stay flat; src/lib/find-hero.ts switches to a recursive **/hero glob. Bundle items[], promotedTo/fromFind keys, /sources cross-refs, and category/tag pages all keep working unchanged. Skill docs (daily-finds, build-review, build-bundle, cluster-bundles), README, and CHANGELOG updated for the new on-disk path.

Also: 67 new finds from the 2026-05-09 capture run (Web Curios 8, MoMA 7, r/macapps 7, r/dadjokes 6, icanhazdadjoke 6, Wallpaper* Travel 5, Snow Peak 5, Kottke 3, Boutique Homes 3, etc.); felo-ergonic-screwdriver-set rolled back per editorial decision.

+- Bucket `find/` folders by capture date: every find moves from `src/content/find/<slug>/index.mdx` to `src/content/find/<year>/<month>/<slug>/index.mdx` (all 289 existing finds migrated to `2026/05/`). The `find` content-collection loader uses a new `leafSlug` `generateId` so the id (and therefore the URL at `/find/<slug>/`) stays flat, and `src/lib/find-hero.ts` switched to a recursive `**/hero.{...}` glob. No URL changes; bundle `items[]`, `promotedTo`/`fromFind` cross-references, and category/tag pages all keep working unchanged. Rationale: the flat folder was getting hard to scan and slow `git status` at ~290 finds and growing 20+/day
 - Rename the "finds" superpost concept to **bundle**. The `finds` collection becomes `bundles` (`src/content/bundles/`), URLs move from `/finds/<slug>/` to `/bundles/<slug>/`, and the home/footer/search labels switch from "List" to "Bundle". Internal renames: `findListMosaic` → `bundleMosaic`, `FindsPost` → `Bundle`, `findsReferencing` → `bundlesReferencing`, `Entry.type 'finds'` → `'bundle'`, `OgFallback 'finds'` → `'bundles'`. Build script and generated mosaic dir follow (`scripts/build-bundle-mosaics.mjs`, `src/generated/bundle-mosaics/`). Skills `build-finds` and `cluster-finds` renamed to `build-bundle` and `cluster-bundles`. The `find` collection (individual items) is unchanged

 - Strengthen the "Use of the site" section on `/legal/`: explicit "inclusion isn't endorsement" + no warranty on safety/quality/durability/fit/continued-existence + no responsibility for what happens after click-through. Tone kept plain, not legalese

+### Hero coverage
+
+- Heroes saved: 47 of 54 attempted (12 jokes are text-only by convention; 4 quotes are text-only; pynchon-wrong-questions also text-only). Failures: 7 finds without a usable hero.
+- Hero failures by reason:
+  - **superisland**: dynamicisland.app `/og-image.png` returns HTML (the Vercel-hosted Next.js app's edge function isn't generating a real OG card). README has only a 96×96 logo. Skipped — no usable image.
+  - **vaskange-nested-worlds**: site has no og:image meta tag and no usable static screenshots; the experience is a JS-rendered illustrated canvas with only the 128×128 favicon as a static asset. Skipped.
+  - **ntk-archive**: ntk.net is plain HTML 1997-era markup with no images at all on the index. Text-only by site design — skipped.
+  - **sample-text-store-merch**: og:image points to a 32×32 favicon (`/assets/favicon.png`); no other static image assets. Skipped.
+  - **youtube-hls-shortcut**: danielfox.ie post has no og:image meta tag. Personal blog using a minimalist template that doesn't generate per-post social cards. Skipped.
+  - **pynchon-wrong-questions**: text-only quote, no image needed (per convention).
+  - **joke-* (12 files)**: text-only by convention.
+- Notable hero pattern wins this run:
+  - **MoMA Design Store JSON parse**: the og:image meta tag is set on individual product pages and points to `store.moma.org/cdn/shop/files/<uuid>.jpg?v=<timestamp>`. Adding `&width=1500` to the URL upscales to 1500×1500 cleanly. The product handles + names + image URLs are server-rendered into the collection page as JS object literals (`name:"...",handle:"...",image:"\/\/..."`), so the canonical fetch pattern is curl→regex on those literals rather than parsing rendered HTML.
+  - **Snow Peak product images**: the og:image protocol-relative `//www.snowpeak.com/cdn/shop/files/<id>.jpg?v=...&width=1200` URLs come down clean at 1200×1500 (their canonical product photo aspect ratio is 4:5 portrait). Worth noting in the skill — these aren't 16:9, they're tall portraits, which look OK in the tile grid but aren't standard hero proportions.
+  - **Wallpaper* CDN remains rock-solid**: all 5 picks (hotel-julien, six-senses-london, jw-marriott-tokyo-takanawa, belmond-celia-baz-luhrmann, mitsu-london) had og:image at `cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/<hash>.<ext>` returning clean 1540–6000px images.
+  - **Boutique Homes ImageKit URLs**: their canonical og:image is at `boutique-homes-prod.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/properties/<id>/...jpg`. Some come pre-sized via ImageKit query params (`?tr=w-3840,ar-1.3-1`); others are raw. All three picks downloaded clean at 1920×1280.
+  - **The Outbound Collective**: og:image URLs are at `images.theoutbound.com/<date>/<hash>?w=1200&h=630&fit=crop&...&s=<sig>`. The signature `s=` parameter is required — strip it and the URL returns 403. Easy to copy-paste verbatim. Also note the Outbound site itself is read-only on a stale 2017 image cache for older trails (Havasu image is from 2017-12-19).
+  - **Reddit external-preview URLs work without re-encoding**: paperman, liqoria, loop, strflow, contact-sheet, filefluss all came down clean at 1072–4227px. The signed-URL pattern continues to be reliable.
+  - **GitHub repo screenshots beat OG cards**: replaced the Reddit-preview Loop hero with `/MrKai77/Loop/raw/develop/assets/graphics/Classic.png` (977×977 clean radial-menu screenshot) — pattern note already established 2026-05-03 stays current. Watch for `develop` branch vs `main`.
+- Overrides applied this run:
+  - Replaced FileFluss's `preview.redd.it` gallery hero with the canonical homepage screenshot at `ranagmbh.de/wp-content/uploads/FileFluss-main-scaled.webp` (2560×1627) — better composition, no Reddit gallery framing.
+  - Replaced Loop's reddit-preview hero with the project's own README screenshot at `/MrKai77/Loop/raw/develop/assets/graphics/Classic.png` — cleaner radial-menu hero.

+### Source maintenance notes for next prune
+
+- **Atlas Obscura → flip to `fetch: skip`**. Four consecutive runs returning the 5471-byte Cloudflare stub on both place and article pages. The fetchUrl pattern is functionally broken; only headless-browser scraping would work, which is out of scope for this skill. Alternative: their RSS feed at `https://www.atlasobscura.com/feeds/articles` may bypass the same-origin Cloudflare challenge — worth one experiment, but if that also stubs, accept the loss and skip.
+- **Things Magazine → consider quarterly cadence**. Last post 2026-04-05 ("Links to click through and enjoy"). Now stale across 5+ runs. The cadence in `sources.json` says `weekly` but the actual posting cadence appears to be every 1-2 months. Either flag with `cadence: quarterly` or `fetch: skip` until a post actually lands; current scanning is wasted effort.
+- **Tools and Toys → still productive but very tight pool**. The 7 visible posts all got captured within the first two days of the find collection's existence. Source remains live but the pace is genuinely slow (1-2 new posts per week) and hit rate is now bounded by their cadence. Worth monitoring rather than expecting daily yield.
+- **A Continuous Lean → still December 2025**. Six months of dormancy. Source is functionally dead; suggest moving to `fetch: skip` with `skipReason: dormant — last post December 2025` until a new SIGNALS issue lands.
+- **Put This On → marketplace-only output mostly**. Their "Inside Track" weekly emails are eBay-link members-only digests. Public posts are infrequent (J. Press March 5 was the last substantive one). Consider downgrading from `weekly` to `as-needed` cadence and only checking when a non-Inside-Track post is referenced elsewhere.
+- **Kikkerland Amazon-storefront verification**: still blocked by CAPTCHA. The 2026-05-06 evening note's two unblocks (pre-cached ASIN list, brand-store landing page) remain unimplemented. Until one lands, Kikkerland is functionally an unproductive source for finds that need the `gift` Amazon-default tag rule applied.
+- **Snow Peak collection JSON parsing**: the 2026-05-06 morning post-run note about migrating MoMA + Snow Peak to JSON-endpoint fetches finally got applied this run for both. Snow Peak in particular has a much richer pool than the homepage suggested — the 28-product New Arrivals collection is a steady source of distinctive titanium kit. Worth formalizing the regex-on-product-handle pattern in the skill.
