BLINDSPOT WATCH

Separate early pickup from real blindspots.

A one-source item is not a blindspot. Optics marks it as Early Pickup until enough outlets cover the same event to show a real one-side imbalance.

True Blindspots

Requires 8+ matching sources and a major source-map imbalance. If none are live, Optics keeps this section empty instead of overstating thin data.

No right/center-right source match is live yet, so the source map is still incomplete.
