New Capabilities
Evidence-led event coverage Bilingual publishing controls Source and signal monitoring
What Changed
- Public X sharing now uses credential-free Web Intents: readers can share the current three-story homepage brief, an individual homepage Event, or an Event detail only after confirming in X; static export and live Worker hydration use the same bounded public-field copy and canonical URLs, while the separate Pro template code remains an unpublished entitlement
- SEO now expands beyond the AIGC News brand query: the homepage explicitly serves AI news intent while preserving evidence-led differentiation; only Events that pass evidence, observable-change, and decision-depth gates remain indexable, with accurate per-Event modification dates, a 48-hour Google News Sitemap, large-image metadata, and a first-party About & Editorial page that explains responsibility, AI assistance, and the Decision Brief relationship
- Hourly collection now uses recoverable leases: workflow-start failures are written back immediately, stale queued jobs without an instance are failed after five minutes, and inactive queued/running jobs are recovered after thirty minutes so one orphaned record cannot freeze the public projection
- Decision Brief now treats the official Substack RSS feed as the public source of truth: the Worker exposes an allowlisted latest-post DTO and atomically hydrates the dated sample on /newsletter/ with a 24-hour daily edge cache, while timeout, redirect, size, origin, or schema failures preserve the complete versioned static fallback; new posts may take up to one day to appear, and publishing, audience selection, and final Send remain manual in Substack
- The public site now prioritizes visitor retention without overstating the newsletter: homepage briefs require a concrete material change and distinguish publishers from hosting platforms; a local Decision Brief explainer with a dated public sample follows the three deep reads, explicitly discloses the external Substack page's legacy weekly wording, and routes Event or Trend subscription intent through the local contract first; static Events no longer expose an ungated Pro share prompt, and dynamic navigation points Verifiable Actions to the real Scout route; Event and Trend details restore full navigation, evidence context, and related exits; Signals opens with five source-distinct leads and category breadth first, while Scout and Sources use ranked small batches before accessible progressive disclosure; mobile navigation keeps Today, Trends, Timeline, Brief, and More with 44px targets and managed focus
- The homepage now opens with a three-story jump index and explicit selection rationale; verified Event updates show four items first on mobile and expand to eight while preserving real 24-hour / 7-day / 30-day totals; Trend Pulse adds what to watch next, the top bar focuses on three primary routes plus trend customization and Newsletter, source and date labels are more precise, and unsupported weekly promises have been removed
- The homepage now has three deliberate reading depths: three full decision briefs, a live published-Event update ledger with 24-hour / 7-day / 30-day windows and server totals, and one 7-day / 30-day Trend Pulse that labels unchanged reviews explicitly; top-three Events are deduplicated, verified updates require primary evidence or two independent sources, and Signals or future/invalid-time Events never enter the homepage
- Homepage and footer guidance typography now sits below editorial content: the completion note, Newsletter prompt, method disclosure, footer statement, wordmark and weekly-brief link use compact responsive sizes while Event headlines keep their existing hierarchy
- The homepage is now a continuous 5–8 minute daily decision brief: three ranked Events each show What happened, Why it matters, and What to watch next; evidence opens in place, static export and Worker hydration share the same materiality ranking, random judgments are removed, and the Newsletter appears after the main reading flow
