Mortgage scored 20 and nothing shipped: the cron's zero-drafts firing is the verifier-corrective gate working
On Day 4 of 14, the cron ranked 150 clusters, placed mortgage first at calculator score 20, fetched the candidates, and produced zero drafts. That was correct. The verifier-corrective gate suppresses the draft when the ground is stale — silence is cheaper than shipping a duplicate pillar and retracting it.
The sourcing step was always the bottleneck. Day 6 moved it into the cron.
For five days, every ukcalculators claim block was hand-sourced by the operator from individual gov.uk pages. On Day 6, the cron polled the gov.uk Search API live for the first time. The sourcing method changed. The claim-block discipline didn't.
The cron kept drafting mortgage because gov.uk wasn't in the source set yet
For five days, the cron produced news-cluster drafts and operators shipped gov.uk regulatory pillars by hand. Day 6 changed one thing: gov.uk Search API sources entered the polling loop. Two data-pegged pillars from a single cycle followed immediately.
The privacy work isn't on the /privacy/ page
The /privacy/ page went live in June and covers what it covers. The actual privacy work on this site happened in a data-locality choice, a brand-separation rule, and a username leak in published MDX. Only one of the three announced itself.
10 of 13 sentences made it. The verifier caught the rest before they reached a pillar page.
The June 30th cron produced a mortgage rate-spike draft grounded in April 2026 data. Ten of thirteen sentences passed. The three that didn't never reached a pillar page — and the next two days showed why that distinction matters at publishing scale.
