**Started**: 2026-06-13 05:05 **Completed**: 2026-06-13 05:08 **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added a collector integration test with a discussion-role adapter fixture and disabled runtime path.
* Verified demand clusters publish from already-collected evidence, preserve observed count labels, cap cited evidence at six rows, link to one derived topic, and use deterministic fallback brief provenance.
* Verified the collector still calls only the existing injected Apify and demand-signal collectors and does not emit demand derivation warnings.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/extensions/trend-finder/__tests__/collector.test.ts` - Added demand cluster publication and no-new-source behavior coverage.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase27-session10-demand-centers/tasks.md` - Marked T022 complete.
