track-journals

The watch loop for tracked materials-science journals. Run commands as PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1 ./env/bin/mat-trend ... from the repo root.

Verify feeds — mat-trend check-feeds --check. For each DEAD feed, try to find a working URL (the journal may have changed its RSS path); if found, update Journal-RSS.md + config/journals.json. If not, mark Status ✗ and note it.
Discover new materials-science journals (optional, periodic): for each family (Nature Portfolio, Science, Cell Press, Wiley, ACS, RSC, Elsevier), check whether a notable materials journal is missing from config/journals.json. If so, follow the add-journal skill to register and verify its feed. Prefer materials-focused (focus: high) titles.
Ingest — mat-trend ingest (all journals) or --journal <keys> for a subset. This is the step that captures the current rolling window; run it on a schedule so history accumulates.
Refresh derived outputs — mat-trend refresh --no-ingest (assign → trends → export-site) if you ingested separately, or just mat-trend refresh to do both.
Commit / PR — if Journal-RSS.md, config/, or docs/ changed, open a PR summarising new articles, journals added, and dead feeds.

Only liveness checks and new-journal discovery touch the network/web; ingestion, assignment, trends, and site export are deterministic CLI tools.
RSS is a rolling window — regular polling is what builds the month-over-month history that trends depend on. Don't expect back-history from a single run.
