Source freshness · 2026-06-16
Check the source lanes before the edition goes out.
Derived from the public source registry, raw snapshots and rendered issue dates. It keeps the St Albans build loop honest about what is ready, what needs a manual check and what must not be claimed live yet.
Linear proof: MY-2577 newsletter empire build loop.
Static prep only: no subscriber email, public post, source contact, sponsor outreach, checkout, payment or inventory hold is triggered.

Hard gates
Keep the edition proof-led
Gate
Check core and high-priority source groups before rendering the morning issue.
Gate
Do not describe a route as live or automated unless the source registry and latest issue prove it.
Gate
Use source notes and public URLs only; do not publish private inboxes, API payloads or credentials.
Gate
Categories without a core source can support the edition, but need manual verification before driving the lead slot.
Gate
If a source is stale, mark the gap for manual follow-up instead of padding the edition.
