Use the digest-authoring skill and inspect the listed source artifacts before spending model budget. Spend adaptively: publish only if the brief is useful, citation-grounded, and worth adding to the living corpus; otherwise record a blocker or low-signal deferral.\n\nTopic: general\nLookback: last 24h\nTarget length: 200-400 words.\nRequired sections if published: TL;DR, What's New, Open Questions, What to Read Next. Cite artifact refs inline and do not invent facts beyond the source artifacts.\n\nSource artifacts (3):\n- paper:5c2fa772-5110-45b5-a830-0abb2963b588: Single cell RNA sequencing of human microglia uncovers a subset associated with Alzheimer's disease\n- paper:f766889b-29bb-4445-9b9b-4f690ef26c52: Comprehensive Profiling of an Aging Immune System Reveals Clonal GZMK+ CD8+ T Cells as Conserved Hallmark of Inflammaging\n- knowledge_gap:393015f7-7f35-4b6e-bb71-39288a38c22e: GEO accessions for Olah 2020 and Mathys 2023 microglia datasets unconfirmed by substrate search",
