  ],
  "search": [
    {
      "title": "What Is Quantum Computing? | IBM",
      "link": "https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/quantum-computing",

    "https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/quantum-computing": "MEDIUM"
  },
  "completion": "Quantum computing uses qubits that leverage superposition and entanglement to compute in fundamentally different ways than classical computers..."
}
```

### Notes
- `miner_link_scores` keys are tweet IDs for Twitter results and full URLs for web results. Values are `"HIGH"`, `"MEDIUM"`, or `"LOW"`.
- `media` is always an array; empty `[]` when no media is attached.
- `completion` is always a string; empty string `""` if summarization fails.
