The cron exited clean. There were no drafts.
Two zero-draft mornings out of four cron firings across 29 June to 2 July, both exits clean. The failure was Haiku's claim extraction underfiring one stage before draft: structurally invisible, no error, no warning, cron returns success.
The cron fired at 08:22 and drafted nothing — scheduling is the easy part
On 2 July, the pipeline ran on time, ranked 150 clusters, fetched candidates, and produced zero drafts. The scheduler worked. The grounding step didn't. Automating gov.uk pillar articles forces a distinction that took a zero-drafts morning to make explicit: cron reliability and content freshness are different problems, and only one of them is solved.
Five days, ten operator publishes, two cron drafts: where the ukcalculators pipeline actually breaks
Running a 14-day pillar schedule with a parallel operator-publish path made the bottleneck legible: the cron fires on schedule, triage completes, 150 clusters rank — then the ground-and-extract stage drops everything silently. The schedule is not the problem.
Ten of thirteen: why verification without correction is just expensive triage
The morning cron produced a draft with 10 of 13 sentences passing the verifier. Without a corrective step, that's a triage ticket, not a publish. Four days of cron output showed the rescue pattern fires once in four — and what covers the other three.
150 clusters ranked, zero drafted: ground attrition is the load-bearing constraint
Five days of autonomous publishing logs made the pattern clear. The cron fired on schedule every morning. Ground attrition killed the drafts before the drafter ran. One usable cron draft across five days; ten articles published via a different route entirely.
