The X News Accounts panel (internal id x-intel) mirrors a product-managed set of public news accounts into the dashboard: topic-tabbed, freshness-aware, and relay-status-aware so the panel can distinguish “no recent traffic” from “relay unavailable”. This is curated public news-account monitoring, not a user-configurable follow list.

​
What the panel shows

A row of topic tabs at the top with a feed list below:
  • Topic tabs — tabs derived from X_TOPICS in src/services/x-intel. The default tab is all.
  • Feed items — XItem[] for the active topic, each showing account, timestamp, API-fresh post text, and a permalink.
  • Live distinction — items newer than 10 minutes (LIVE_THRESHOLD_MS = 600_000) are flagged as live.
  • Relay state — when the X poller isn’t configured or reachable (relayEnabled = false), the panel indicates degraded mode rather than showing an empty list.
Panel id is x-intel; canonical component is src/components/XIntelPanel.ts. Title from i18n (panels.xIntel); config name: “X News Accounts”. Default row span is 2.

​
How you reach it

  • Cmd+K: type x news or twitter news.
  • Availability by variant: registered and enabled by default in the full/geopolitical variant only (priority: 2). The full-variant registration layers premium: 'locked' on desktop (_desktop && { premium: 'locked' as const }), so the panel is free on web and PRO-locked on desktop. Not present in the tech, finance, commodity, or happy variants. Source: 'x-intel' in FULL_PANELS of src/config/panels.ts.

​
Data sources

  • @/services/x-intel — backed by /api/x-feed, which proxies to the Railway ais-relay poller. The poller uses the official X API GET /2/users/:id/tweets with since_id on a 5–15 minute cadence. Account coverage is product-managed rather than user-configurable.

Backed by endpoints

​
Refresh cadence

The relay polls every 5–15 minutes. The panel refreshes on mount and on the xIntel interval in src/config/variants/base.ts.

​
Content policy

Post text is R4. The first-party panel may show API-fresh posts. Alerts, MCP, and embed partners receive derived facts and a permalink only. Deleted posts are tombstoned and purged within 24 hours.
