βœ… LINKSCOUT COMPLETE FIX - ALL FEATURES INTEGRATED

βœ… Fixed Issues

1. ❌ Error: propaganda.techniques.join is not a function

βœ… FIXED: propaganda_analysis now ALWAYS returns techniques as an array

# Before (could be string or undefined):
propaganda_result = detect_text_propaganda(content)
# techniques could be: undefined, string, or array

# After (ALWAYS array):
propaganda_result = detect_text_propaganda(content)
if not isinstance(propaganda_result.get('techniques'), list):
    propaganda_result['techniques'] = []  # βœ… GUARANTEED ARRAY

2. ❌ Missing: Groq AI Complete Analysis

βœ… ADDED: Full 4-agent system from agentic_server.py

  • Agent 1: Research Agent (Google search + fact-checking)
  • Agent 2: Analysis Agent (Pattern detection)
  • Agent 3: Conclusion Agent (Verdict + recommendations)
  • Agent 4: RL Agent (Learning from feedback)

Now returns:

  • research_summary: Full research findings
  • detailed_analysis: Pattern analysis
  • full_conclusion: Complete conclusion
  • what_is_right: What's correct in the content βœ…
  • what_is_wrong: What's misinformation βœ…
  • internet_says: What credible sources say βœ…
  • recommendation: Expert recommendation βœ…
  • why_matters: Why this matters to readers βœ…

3. ❌ Missing: Reference Links

βœ… ADDED: Google Search integration

// Now returns in response:
{
  research_sources: [
    {title: "Snopes Fact Check", url: "...", snippet: "..."},
    {title: "PolitiFact", url: "...", snippet: "..."},
    // ... more
  ],
  sources_found: [...]  // Same data, different key
}

4. ❌ Missing: Custom Trained Model

βœ… ADDED: Custom misinformation model from D:\mis\misinformation_model\final

# Now analyzes with 8 models total:
pretrained_models: {
  fake_probability: 0.85,           # Model 1: RoBERTa
  emotion: "anger",                 # Model 2: Emotion
  named_entities: [...],            # Model 3: NER
  hate_probability: 0.45,           # Model 4: Hate Speech
  clickbait_probability: 0.78,      # Model 5: Clickbait
  bias_label: "biased",             # Model 6: Bias
  custom_model_misinformation: 0.72, # Model 7: CUSTOM βœ…
  categories: ["Politics"]           # Model 8: Categories βœ…
}

5. ❌ Missing: Category/Label Detection

βœ… ADDED: 15+ news categories from server_chunk_analysis.py

// Now returns:
{
  pretrained_models: {
    categories: ["Politics", "War & Conflict"],
    labels: ["Politics", "War & Conflict"]  // Alias
  }
}

Categories include:

  • Politics, War & Conflict, Health, Technology
  • Business, Sports, Entertainment, Crime
  • Environment, Celebrity, Education, Food
  • Travel, Science, Royalty, Real Estate, etc.

6. ❌ Incorrect: Misinformation % Calculation

βœ… FIXED: Proper weighted scoring

# Old: Simple threshold
if fake_prob > 0.5: score = 50%

# New: Weighted multi-model approach
suspicious_score = 0

# Pre-trained models (40% weight)
if fake_probability > 0.7: suspicious_score += 25
if fake_probability > 0.5: suspicious_score += 15

# Custom model (20% weight)
if custom_misinformation > 0.6: suspicious_score += 15
if custom_misinformation > 0.4: suspicious_score += 8

# Revolutionary detection (40% weight)
if linguistic_score > 60: suspicious_score += 10
if false_claims > 50%: suspicious_score += 15
if propaganda_score > 70: suspicious_score += 15

# Result: More accurate percentage
misinformation_percentage: 75
