MODIFIED Requirements

Requirement: Fallback behavior remains context-aware first

The system SHALL evaluate context-aware candidates before fallback and require refetched summary images to be relevant, non-redundant alternatives.

Scenario: Context-aware attempt precedes fallback

• WHEN summary image selection runs for a news item
• THEN the system first attempts provider queries from extracted context-aware keywords
• AND only falls back to generic AI image if candidate evaluation fails

Scenario: Refetch rejects unrelated and duplicate outcomes

• WHEN candidate images are evaluated during refetch
• THEN the system rejects candidates matching current image identity for the same article
• AND rejects clearly unrelated animal/pet imagery classes before final selection
