Prism Devtool Pulse API
Scrape Prism Devtool Pulse data with one API call. Fans out a GitHub repo/dossier, a Hacker News search+comment pull, a Reddit search+comment pull, and the dev-blog web echo (content_analysis), then folds them into a developer-brand health snapshot: release recency, open-issue load, the top feature request and top complaint, HN and Reddit attention, the web echo with its top domains, a deterministic pulse=strong|steady|cooling|quiet label, and a soft NLP sentiment label. No leg is individually critical — absence is signal; a strict-majority leg failure refunds half. Supply `repo=` (owner/repo or a github URL) to anchor the dossier; without it the server best-effort resolves one from the HN/web legs. `legs[]` reports each leg's status, cost, and latency.

| repo | No | The repo to dossier — owner/repo or a github.com/{owner}/{repo} URL. Recommended for a precise dossier. |
| subreddit | No | Optional scope for the Reddit leg (bare name, no r/) — switches it to a subreddit search. |
