## Output

### `hot`

| Column | Type | Notes |
|--------|------|-------|
| `rank` | int | 1-based, dense after empty-title rows are dropped |
| `group_id` | string \| null | Topic/cluster id (`ClusterIdStr`, falls back to numeric `ClusterId`) |
| `title` | string | Trending topic title |
| `query` | string | Search keyword (`QueryWord`); falls back to `title` if absent |
| `hot_value` | int \| null | `HotValue` parsed as non-negative number; `null` if missing |
| `label` | string \| null | Hot tag (e.g. 热 / 新 / 沸) when present |
| `url` | string \| null | Topic permalink |
| `image_url` | string \| null | First non-empty image URL (`Image.url` → `Image.url_list[*]`) |

### `articles`

`title` · `date` · `status` · `展现` · `阅读` · `点赞` · `评论`

If a row's stats span has not finished rendering by the time the page text is read, the row still surfaces with `null` stat columns instead of being silently dropped — this masking previously hid creator-backend slow-render bugs.
Login/captcha pages abort with `AuthRequiredError`; browser render failures abort with `CommandExecutionError`.

## Prerequisites

### `hot`
- No login required. Uses the public `hot-event/hot-board` endpoint that powers the homepage hot panel.

### `articles`
- Chrome running and **logged into** `mp.toutiao.com`
- [Browser Bridge extension](/guide/browser-bridge) installed

## Notes

- `hot` `--limit` accepts integers in `[1, 50]`; out-of-range values raise an `ArgumentError` (no silent clamp).
- `articles` `--page` accepts integers in `[1, 4]`, matching the contributor's verified range on the creator dashboard; out-of-range values raise an `ArgumentError`.
