## Known failure modes

- No matching stories found for a very narrow or obscure query — returns empty results
- max_results out of range (must be 1–10) triggers a validation error
- Hacker News data may be slightly delayed or cached, so very recent posts may not appear
- Overly broad queries may return loosely related stories
