Headroom Daily: Silent Proxy Bypasses and Retrieval Window Fixes
Proxy and wrapper paths in Headroom were quietly missing traffic or hitting the wrong upstream, while discovery queries in the last-30-days skill fetched outside the research window. Agent Reach added DeepSeek and Xiaohongshu enrichment alongside release hardening for Windows and type checking.

First, in Headroom, several fixes close those silent bypasses. Pull request 4316 routes Claude Code's Bedrock mode back through the proxy, after wrapper traffic was missing it entirely. Pull request 4308 fixes the model list endpoint, which sent a custom gateway key to the default provider and returned auth…
Second, retrieval accuracy gets a coordinated correction in the last-30-days skill. Pull request 1304 bounds keyword search to both ends of the research window, instead of fetching the newest results and discarding almost all of them. The same window mismatch drove pull request 1306 for Reddit, where a recency-only…
Finally, Agent Reach adds backends while hardening release 1.6. Pull request 828 adds DeepSeek as a search and read backend behind user key setup, and pull request 829 adds image text recognition and video transcription for Xiaohongshu notes with domain and size safeguards.
