+- `subreddits`: at least one item with `name`, `enabled`, `type`, optional `targetingMode`, optional `weight`, `tone`, optional scripted opener, and conversation policy. `targetingMode` defaults to `post-author`; `comment-author` is valid only for image subreddits and selects high-confidence comments expressing a desire to take the depicted role. The normal image screen separately enforces `reddit.targetGenders`; the comment classifier does not claim to identify the commenter's actual gender.

 ### 1. Discovery
 
-The discovery loop rotates through enabled subreddits and authenticated runtimes. A runtime fetches Reddit `/new` data using the process-shared `RedditRequestCoordinator`.

+The discovery loop rotates through enabled subreddits and authenticated runtimes. A runtime fetches Reddit `/new` data using the process-shared `RedditRequestCoordinator`. In the default `post-author` targeting mode those posts enter intake directly. An image subreddit configured for `comment-author` instead reads top-level comments from at most five newly listed posts, batches previously unseen eligible comment text through the reaction classifier, and creates candidates only for role-alignment verdicts at or above 0.8 confidence. A bounded in-process cache prevents unchanged comments from repeatedly consuming model calls. The candidate ID, author, timestamp, and permalink come from the comment while the original post image and title remain attached as preparation context; the usual image screen later verifies the depicted gender against `reddit.targetGenders`. Intake then deduplicates candidate IDs and authors, excludes processed/contacted history, stores the full snapshot, source type, weight, and timestamps, and logs exact intake counts.
 
 The queue grows to a demand-based target rather than a fixed backlog. The target is the smaller of configured `reddit.maxReadyCandidates` and the work that authenticated running accounts can still send within the recent-post window, accounting for rolling hourly capacity and minimum message spacing. Intake admits only the current deficit, newest Reddit posts first, pauses at zero outbound capacity, and reports fetched posts left unevaluated because the funnel is full. Reddit request pacing, not a tight application poll, remains the primary request limiter.

+The subreddit editor chooses both a source type and recipient: image sources can target the post author or high-confidence qualifying commenters, while chat/text sources always target the post author. Comment-targeted rows carry a visible `Commenters` badge.

 The account-growth page states plainly that comments are AI-written and posted without review, shows the adaptive allowance and trust level rather than a settable rate, and surfaces every posted comment's exact text alongside its score and removal state. A paused account replaces the pause control with a resume control and explains why it stopped, because resuming is the one action that can compound the damage.
 
 Its browsing section separates session scheduling from the default-off automatic-upvote switch, lets the operator set the daily target range, minimum gap, and selections per session, and shows whether each selection was submitted or simulated, today's deterministic target, post/comment split, exclusion counts, durable next session, and recent selections with Reddit permalinks. Daily and per-session counts have no product-imposed upper ceiling. The daily range is saved atomically; changing it recalculates today's target, which then remains stable for that range and local day. The displayed minimum gap is followed by bounded random jitter. Scan mode and browser dry-run remain simulation-only. An enabled, running account can also run one immediate session at the configured size; it bypasses the schedule and follows the same automatic-upvote setting. Enabling browsing does not enable comment growth or bot processing.

+Image subreddits may separately target either the post author (the default) or a qualifying commenter. Comment-author targeting scans a bounded set of top-level comments on newly listed image posts and uses a fail-closed AI classification. A comment qualifies only when it personally expresses a desire to experience or take the depicted role and confidence is at least 0.8. The normal image screen then verifies that the depicted role matches `reddit.targetGenders`. This is an interpretation of role alignment in the public comment, not a claim about the author's actual gender or identity. Generic praise, ambiguous reactions, deleted/moderator comments, and the post author's own comments do not qualify. The original image remains the preparation context, but generated openers are explicitly told that the recipient is a commenter and is not necessarily depicted.

 Image analysis may produce a subjective 1–10 visible-physique score. It is not a medical assessment and remains unknown when the image does not show enough of the body for a grounded judgment. The scale is deliberately critical: 5 is broadly average, 6 requires visible above-average leanness or definition, and 8–10 are reserved for rare athletic or model-like physiques. Nudity and photographic presentation do not increase the score. Physique targeting is disabled by default. When an operator enables an inclusive minimum/maximum range, image candidates outside that range—and unscorable image candidates—are rejected before opener generation; chat candidates are unaffected.
 
 Seller filtering combines the candidate post with Reddit profile/about, structured social links when Reddit exposes them, and recent activity evidence. Because Reddit's legacy profile response can omit a social-link button that is visible in its UI, an NSFW bio is also rejected when it combines an explicit link call-to-action with a promise of more or exclusive personal content. The default policy treats Telegram names and links as seller signals alongside paid-content platforms and payment prompts. The configured keyword/domain lists are policy inputs, not a substitute for the surrounding screening flow. A profile lookup failure is not itself proof that a person is a seller; network and rate-limit failures must remain distinguishable from a rejection.
