Notes
- Promote a watchlist signal to a full theme row only after it recurs or comes from a high-quality source.
- Keep prose here to 1-2 sentences per theme; link out for detail.
- HN evidence rules: low-engagement items are watchlist by default; promotion requires recurrence, strong engagement, or corroboration.
- Vendor brand signal: CelVivo, 3Brain, Cellink, ClinoStar, and ClinoReactor still have no material HN footprint (see /sources/hackernews.md for the per-query hit table). Watch the next run — recurrence would change the picture.
