Bind the layers slices 1 (store) and 2a (config) built: trend-spotter goes from
an amnesiac, niche-hardcoded scanner to a persistent, generic engine.
- Tools: drop the `tools:` allowlist (inherit all session tools incl. any
research MCP) + `disallowedTools: Write, Edit, NotebookEdit`. An explicit
allowlist would block every MCP unless its mcp__server__tool name were
hardcoded — which breaks "prefer whatever MCP the user connected, hardcode
nothing". WebSearch+WebFetch stay as the always-available floor; Bash runs
the deterministic store CLI. (CC mechanic verified vs code.claude.com/docs.)
- Store-wiring (de-amnesia): query prior history before polling; persist every
kept trend through scripts/trends `add` (dedup/union preserved — a raw Write
would bypass it). Mirrors how specifics-bank is wired from the command layer.
- MCP-first routing: read the profile's "### Research Tooling" declaration,
prefer a declared MCP, fall back to the floor, fail soft. No hardcoded names.
- Scoring -> SSOT: replace the inline matrix/composite/bands with a pointer to
references/trend-scoring-modes.md (kortform default, long-form on request).
- Sources from config: replace the hardcoded vendor/outlet list + query bank
with a read of trends/sources.md (user override) -> trends-sources.template.md
(shipped default).
- CI: new test-runner Section 16 (trends-store binding guard, floor 21,
KTG-only skip) mirroring the specifics-bank guard; assertion-count renumbered
to Section 17. Gate 84 -> 85/0/0. model-consistency green (model unchanged).
Reload required: the tools-grant change takes effect only after a session reload.
