Money Dominates EV Posts, but Impact Drives the Engagement

Making Recording Export Quality Configurable in agent-device
Added a new --export-quality CLI flag to let users choose between medium and high quality video exports, replacing the hardcoded highest quality preset. This is a draft PR that wires together an existing but unused scaffold end-to-end through the CLI, client, daemon, and Swift export layer.

Conflict Dominates Labor Strike Posts, Then Overwhelms Them
Conflict framing accounts for 66% of labor strike posts on Bluesky but captures 88% of engagement, a 22-point amplification gap driven by a single viral story about the Delaney Hall strike.
Fixing Timeout Behavior in GrowthBook JS SDK refreshFeatures()
The GrowthBook JavaScript SDK was not persisting the timeout option from init() to later refreshFeatures() calls, causing network requests to hang indefinitely on slow connections. This fix ensures the initialization timeout is reused as a sensible default across all refresh operations.
