Visible quality difference between hosts with vs without native search or a configured backend. If your client setup produces thinner results than yours, this is usually why.

### YouTube degraded-run detection

When yt-dlp is stale it still returns search results but fails to fetch transcripts for every video. The engine detects this and surfaces a `DEGRADED RUN WARNING` in the output. The detection threshold is a ratio (fetched transcripts ÷ videos returned); the default `0.5` means two or more failures in a four-video result triggers the warning. Tune per-environment:

```bash
DEGRADED_TRANSCRIPT_THRESHOLD=0.3 # more tolerant: allow more misses before warning
DEGRADED_TRANSCRIPT_THRESHOLD=0.8 # stricter: warn even on a single miss in a small result
```

Set to `0` to disable the nudge entirely (not recommended — a stale yt-dlp silently produces weak briefs).

P2 CONFIGURATION.md not updated

AGENTS.md says CONFIGURATION.md must be kept in sync with user-facing knobs. DEGRADED_TRANSCRIPT_THRESHOLD is explicitly called out in quality_nudge.py as operator-tunable ("Tunable via DEGRADED_TRANSCRIPT_THRESHOLD env var if operators need to adjust without code changes"), so it qualifies. Now that the key is actually loaded from .env, users who discover it in quality_nudge.py comments won't find any documentation in CONFIGURATION.md describing the expected range, units (ratio 0–1), or effect.

Context Used: AGENTS.md (source)

Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!
