Daily Scholar Papers Report — 2026-05-04¶

Window covered: 2026-05-03 → 2026-05-04 (Google Scholar alerts + user-curated self-emails, last 24 h)

Executive Summary¶

An empty alert window. No new Scholar-alert threads landed in the last 24 hours, and no user-curated self-emails were forwarded for review either. The most recent Scholar batch resolves to 2026-05-02 — already absorbed into the 2026-05-03 report (NeuroTaint and CoRE) — and the most recent user-curated paper is from 2026-05-01. A broader fallback query (after:2026/05/03) was also run on both inboxes to rule out a syntax glitch; both confirmed zero matches. The cadence is consistent with the typical Sunday→Monday gap in Scholar deliveries.

No Stage-1 screening or Stage-2 deep-reads were performed today. Preference posteriors were still refreshed (19 active attribute Beta-posteriors in .private/preferences.json) so tomorrow's run starts from the latest belief state.

Outstanding: 0 · Keep: 0 · Borderline High-Priority: 0

Highlighted Papers¶

No papers in window.

Cross-Paper Synthesis¶

Not applicable for an empty window. The standing themes from the past two weeks remain open: (i) provenance-aware information-flow tracking for LLM agents (NeuroTaint, 2026-05-03; LLMVD.js, 2026-04-27) versus (ii) fine-grained code-reasoning evaluation beyond final-output correctness (CoRE, 2026-05-03). Tomorrow's batch is expected to bring at least the followed-researcher Monday digests; if not, the next report will note a continued gap.

Writing & Rationale Insights¶

No new prose to mine today. A meta-observation worth recording: across the last eight reports, the Sunday→Monday window has produced ≤ 1 paper four times and 0 papers once (today). The expected daily yield of 1.5 papers is heavily weighted toward Tue–Fri Scholar digests; the scheduling pattern is now stable enough that an empty Monday should not be treated as a pipeline bug.
