+- 2026-06-01: Issue #217 came from the analysis stage: Copilot retries could fail the tightened gate with generic week-title output or missing files, so the prompt now injects concrete week/year values, the workflow falls back to GitHub Models after Copilot gate failures, and `scripts/analyze_fallback.py` now works when invoked exactly as CI runs it.

+# Fry: quality gate fallback hardening
2
+
3
+Date: 2026-06-01
4
+
5
+## Context
6
+Issue #217 showed the weekly analysis job can fail even when crawl data is healthy because Copilot sometimes returns a generic placeholder title or no output file at all after retries.
7
+
8
+## Decision
9
+Keep Copilot CLI as the primary analysis generator, but if its output still fails the quality gate after retries, immediately fall back to `scripts/analyze_fallback.py` via GitHub Models. Also render the prompt with concrete `week`, `year`, and title guidance so the model is less likely to echo placeholder frontmatter.
10
+
11
+## Rationale
12
+This keeps the higher-quality primary path, but removes CI flakiness from transient Copilot failures and from prompt placeholders leaking into the final markdown.
