How complete is this recap?
Days with a mood reading
This month has 31 days on the Sri Lanka calendar. We recorded at least one vibe check on 27 of them—when the timeline had synced and there was enough in the feed to score a two-hour slice.
The remaining days are blank in the charts: usually the ingest job was off for a bit, or the feed was too thin to run a window—not necessarily that nothing happened on X.
The "Other" topic bucket
We tag posts with topic labels when we can. Posts that don't fit a named topic go into Other. This month that was 46% of all topic-tagged posts (2,473 of 5,389)—think mixed threads, edge cases, or chatter the model grouped as general noise.
