Added 2026-09-29 for the 'sanctions and law-enforcement actions affecting threat-actor infrastructure' line of the policy watch (takedowns, arrests, infrastructure seizures). RECIPE: `feed https://www.europol.europa.eu/rss.xml 20` (direct; items carry no dates and cover every crime area, so take the date from the linked press-release page and keep only cyber operations). The HTML newsroom is a JS-only page. (2026-09-29 operator-directed setup review) | 2026-09-30: content_scope general-news: the feed covers every crime area, so the health check's relevance bar is the general-news one (at least one security term) rather than a security feed's. (2026-09-30T0634Z-audit) | 2026-10-02 (2026-10-02T0404Z-intel): feed items carry no pubDate and `extract` on an article returns the raw HTML shell; the body sits in the window.SERVER_DATA JSON (node body). The police-partner release (for example presseportal.de) carries the full text when one exists. | 2026-10-12: S2: article pages read via `url` carry a greppable "datePublished" JSON field; `extract` returns only the HTML shell. | 2026-10-18 (S2): take dates only from `url --direct <full item URL>`; never truncate the feed link (a truncated URL falls to the metered reader). | 2026-10-22 (S2): recipe: rss.xml items carry no dates; `url --direct <item>` and grep datePublished works. | 2026-10-26 (S2): rss.xml items carry no dates; `url --direct <item>` and its datePublished give them.
