7 Fixes Applied

Fix 1: Nostr Proof Replies - Full Hashes & URLs

nostr_proof_publisher.py - Rewrote publish_proof_summary_reply()

Before

Proof replies had truncated data, no njump URLs, no hash chains

After

Full SHA-256 hash chains + njump URLs for delegation & compute proofs in every reply

Fix 2: Attestation Reply Pipeline Step 5.6

run_daily_comedy.sh + proof_attestation_reply.py

Before

No attestation replies - proofs existed but weren't cross-referenced in replies

After

Step 5.6 publishes attestation replies with delegation + compute proof cross-references. 3/3 OK this run

Fix 3: Trust Directory Page

website/trust.html deployed to web server

Before

No public trust/identity documentation for agents

After

41-agent trust directory with npubs, trust scores, specialties. Linked in every Nostr post

Fix 4: HTTP HEAD URL Validation (Research)

comedy_research_enhanced.py - _validate_real_url() + Grokapedia topics

Before

LLM-generated URLs accepted without verification. Prompt had example.com as example

After

HTTP HEAD verification on all URLs. Future dates rejected. This run: 2 fake URLs correctly REJECTED (wired.com/story/ai-dating-cats 404, theverge.com/2026/2/ai-therapist 420)

Fix 5: HTTP HEAD URL Validation (Publisher)

enhanced_nostr_publisher_with_images.py - is_valid_source_url()

Before

Publisher only checked patterns (example, placeholder) - generic landing pages passed

After

Two-tier validation: quick pattern check + HTTP HEAD. All published URLs are verified reachable

Fix 6: Google News RSS Replaces Grok/Grokapedia

comedy_research_enhanced.py - research_google_rss()

Before

XAI/Grok API hallucinated topics with fake URLs + fake "full_content". OpenAI GPT-4o-mini fallback also hallucinated

After

Google News RSS feeds return REAL articles from real publications. 100 items per feed, zero hallucination, zero LLM cost. This run: 8 real topics from Indy100, Smithsonian, Quanta, NY Times, bandt.com.au

Fix 7: WhatsApp Notification + Trust Link

run_daily_comedy.sh + enhanced_nostr_publisher_with_images.py

Before

Broken heredoc caused SyntaxError. Generic static message. No trust link in posts

After

Direct script invocation. Data-driven message reads actual pipeline output. Trust page URL in every Nostr post
