Coverage Tracker

Track whether configured keywords appeared in real coverage. Keep this simple: news-search collects dated article evidence, you dedupe and judge with the keyword's meaning snippet, and the CLI only stores config plus seen/alert state.

This is not newsjack-detector. Do not score newsjacking opportunities, generate angles, assess standing, or use monitor profiles.

Runtime Mode

• Full Mode: Use this in Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, or another capable agent harness with shell, filesystem, network, and local CLI access. Full Mode can read tracker config, check SQLite seen-state, record decisions, and suppress repeat alerts.
• Limited Mode: Use this in Claude.ai chat, ChatGPT chat, Claude Cowork, or any restricted runtime without shell/filesystem/CLI access. Do not attempt curl, npm, or on-demand CLI installation. Run a one-off manual coverage check from pasted/searchable evidence and disclose that no tracker config, SQLite state, or repeat suppression was used.

Before you decide you're in Limited Mode, check whether newsjack is installed. It ships as a prebuilt, bundled binary — you do not need Go, a compiler, or any build/install step to run it. Never look for a Go toolchain, and never declare the CLI "missing" or tell the user they need a "Go environment" without running this check first:

1. Run newsjack --version. If it prints a version, you're in Full Mode — use plain newsjack ... for every command.
2. If newsjack isn't on PATH, try the bundled location ~/.newsjack/bin/newsjack --version. If that prints a version, use that full path in place of newsjack everywhere below.
3. Only if both fail (and you genuinely have no shell) are you in Limited Mode.

The bundled binary is almost always already installed — assume Full Mode and verify, don't assume it's missing.
