182+
183+Optional. When it is missing, the dispatch still loads.

185+- `fetchedAt` — ISO timestamp of the API read.
186+- `window` — optional string describing the time span that was searched.
187+- `summary` — one paragraph in Observatory's words.
188+- `method` — optional string: how the posts were chosen.
189+- `posts` — array of posts:
190+ - `handle` — no `@`.
191+ - `url` — must start with `https://x.com/` or `https://twitter.com/`.
192+ - `postedAt` — optional ISO timestamp.
193+ - `summary` — one line in Observatory's words. Never the post text pasted through.
194+ - `metrics` — the X API `public_metrics` object, copied exactly. Values are numbers. Typical keys: `like_count`, `retweet_count`, `reply_count`, `quote_count`, `bookmark_count`, `impression_count`.
195+
196+The page maps those keys, in that order, to likes, reposts, replies, quotes, bookmarks, and views. Counts under 100,000 stay exact. Larger counts are shown compactly. The JSON keeps the exact integers.
197+
198+## X roundup — how to do it
199+
200+Reading is fine. Never post to X.
201+
202+1. Discover the tools in the `x` MCP namespace (`GetDynamicTools`, namespace `x`).
203+2. Use `search_posts_all`. Set `start_time` to now minus 48 hours. Request `post.fields=created_at,public_metrics` and `expansions=author_id`.
204+3. Run queries such as `from:beffjezos -is:retweet -is:reply` and `from:elonmusk -is:retweet -is:reply`, plus a general search `("e/acc" OR #eacc OR "effective accelerationism" OR kardashev) -is:retweet lang:en`. `@BasedBeffJezos` is now `@beffjezos`.
205+4. Pick the 5–8 most-engaged on-topic posts (energy, compute, Kardashev, e/acc). Skip token and memecoin promotion, and skip off-topic political posts.
206+5. Write a neutral one-line summary for each post, in Observatory's own words. Do not paste the post as the summary. Copy `public_metrics` exactly into `metrics`. Set `fetchedAt` to the time of the read.
207+6. Rate limits: 30 calls per minute, 1,000 per day, and at most 25 results per call.

A new reactor in Jiangsu sent its first electricity to the grid today. In the United States, AI demand is now paying for more output from reactors that already exist, and grid batteries are being built to discharge for longer. In France, the last large component of ITER arrived on site. And Starship reached orbit, which is where cheap access to space, and one day power from space, begins.",
