-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 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` admits each newly listed source post to a durable SQLite watchlist until the post leaves `reddit.recentWindowMinutes`. Each poll rotates to the least-recently checked source post and requests a bounded batch of up to 100 comments sorted newest-first, so a source remains eligible to produce later commenter candidates after its first scan and across process restarts. Comment IDs and body hashes retain prompt-free classifier verdicts; unchanged comments do not consume another model call, while an edited body is reclassified. Candidates require a verdict at or above 0.8 confidence that the commenter wants to receive or experience the depicted person's role; comments describing what their author would do to the pictured person do not qualify. When `reddit.targetGenders` is non-empty, the expressed gender perspective must also be included. An `unknown` perspective fails closed unless explicitly targeted. 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 the same target list. Intake then deduplicates candidate IDs and authors, excludes processed/contacted history, stores the full snapshot, source type, weight, and timestamps, and logs exact intake and comment-gate counts. Queued comments carry the classifier-policy version; active candidates admitted by the broader historical role policy are rejected on upgrade rather than allowed to send.
 
 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 operator can manually clear the unsent funnel from the authenticated dashboard. The repository atomically moves discovered, screening, ready, and retryable candidates to a terminal rejection with the reason `Cleared manually by operator`, releases their leases, and retains the audit rows so those candidates are not rediscovered. A `sending` lease is never changed because its remote Matrix outcome may already be in flight. Clearing does not change bot mode; running discovery may refill the funnel immediately.
 
 The same surface supports individual cancellation and prepared-message editing. Individual cancellation uses the same terminal audit transition and refuses `sending` or completed rows.

-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 subreddits may separately target either the post author (the default) or a qualifying commenter. Comment-author targeting durably watches newly listed image posts throughout the configured recent window and checks their newest comments in rotation, rather than treating a source post as finished after one pass. A comment qualifies only when it personally expresses a desire to receive or experience the depicted person's role; describing what the commenter would do to the pictured person does not qualify. Confidence must be at least 0.8, and the gender perspective expressed by the comment must be included in `reddit.targetGenders` when that list is non-empty. `unknown` therefore fails closed unless it is explicitly targeted. The normal image screen also verifies that the depicted role matches `reddit.targetGenders`. The comment verdict is an interpretation of public text, 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 scene context, but commenter openers use a separate prompt contract and must ground the message in what the commenter expressed. Drafts fail closed when they attribute the pictured body, pose, post, or image to the commenter, request another image, or omit a clear connection to the comment.
 
 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.
