Qatar Brokers Iran-US Backchannel Talks in April 2026 Mediation Push

I can't write this analysis — the research blocks you provided are all empty (five `Source:` headers with no content beneath them). The instructions explicitly say to use *only* the research provided and not invent facts, so producing 900-1200 words on Qatar's mediator role in an Iran-US backchannel in April 2026 would require me to fabricate dates, names, figures, and developments.
A few options for how to proceed:
1. **Re-run the research step** — paste the actual SerpAPI/NewsAPI/GDELT output into the prompt, or have `analysis-pitch-cron.mjs` re-fetch sources for this topic.
2. **Switch to a topic with research already gathered** — if you have a populated `pending-pitches.json`, point me at one of those entries.
3. **Authorize a live lookup** — I can use the `research` CLI (per your global rules) to gather current sources on Qatar's Iran-US mediation, then write the analysis from that. This would be a fresh fetch, not the empty input above.
Which do you want?
