Research direction

Start with the existing source scripts and add the mentioned entry point, scripts/stackexchange.ts. Read the Stack Exchange /search/advanced API requirements, then implement the recency-window and vote-sorting request with the stated keyless constraint. Done means the new source is included and returns Stack Exchange question/answer score data for a run.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

P3

The Stack Exchange API is public and keyless at low volume, with question/answer scores published. Useful 'what problems are people hitting' signal for technical topics, though site activity has declined.

Add scripts/stackexchange.ts using the /search/advanced endpoint filtered to the recency window, sorted by votes.

Constraint check: public API, keyless quota sufficient for one call per run. ✅
