Found in the live journal: from 2026-10-22 the digest posted papers Jev labeled irrelevant (2/5 on Oct 22, 4/5 on Oct 23, 3/5 on Oct 26) while relevant papers went unposted.

Cause: min_confidence gates on the top label's probability, and a gated answer was scored 0.0. A paper Jev called 47% must-read + 45% worth-reading (92% relevant) was discarded, while an irrelevant at 0.61 passed with mass ~0.05 and outranked it.

Fix: a low-confidence answer ranks on its must-read + worth-reading mass (outages/overflows still score 0, having no distribution); the journal still marks it low-confidence. Applied to both ranking paths. Regression test reproduces the live inversion. Replaying Oct 22–26 receipts: every day posts five relevant papers.

…junk stopped outranking unsure must-reads; v0.6.1
