Epictetus 729760fb27 Phase 6: theme trend-scan (B) + competitor gap research (A)
- theme_scan.py: tags entries by 4 practitioner themes (tool-call/context/
  compute/trust), counts NEW arrivals per cron cycle (falsification check for
  one-day-cluster vs trend). Idempotent: re-run = 0 new.
- schema.sql: theme_tags table (separate from core entries schema)
- oracle-pipeline.sh: wire theme_scan after summarize
- A result (footnote): unified discipline layer unoccupied; adjacent OSS
  entrants exist (agentgateway, lelu) but no portable unified layer.

Verified: theme_scan classifies 5 seed/extra items, 2nd run = 0 new.

"""Phase 6 trend-tracking: theme-based arrival counter.
The question this answers: is the 2026-07-08 practitioner cluster a real TREND
or a one-day COINCIDENCE?
Design (per review):
- Tag by THEME, not by entry ID.
- Count NEW theme-tagged ARRIVALS per cron cycle (only classify rows that
have no theme_tags yet -> fresh entries each run).
- If new theme arrivals stay ~0 all week => coincidence.
- If 2-4+ new relevant items/cycle across sources => trend.
Only then does the ponytail-generalization idea graduate from a one-day
read to something worth further investment.
Themes:
tool-call : tool-call gating on confidence / reliability of tool use
context : context / token compression before window ceiling
compute : routing to smallest sufficient model / inference cost
trust : trust boundaries on what a model may learn / vetted adapters
Run: python3 theme_scan.py # classify + report new arrivals
python3 theme_scan.py --history # also print per-cycle history
