 ### Design Principles
 - **Pure ESM** — every file is `.mjs` with explicit imports
 - **Minimal dependencies** — Express is the only runtime dependency. `discord.js` is optional (for Discord bot). LLM providers use raw `fetch()`, no SDKs.
-- **Parallel execution** — `Promise.allSettled()` fires all 27 sources simultaneously
+- **Parallel execution** — `Promise.allSettled()` fires all 28 sources simultaneously
 - **Graceful degradation** — missing keys produce errors, not crashes. LLM failures don't kill sweeps.
 - **Each source is standalone** — run `node apis/sources/gdelt.mjs` to test any source independently
 - **Self-contained dashboard** — the HTML file works with or without the server
