What the QA layer checks
- Prompt residue and editorial instructions that should never appear in public text.
- Repeated context, duplicated paragraphs, and inconsistent story framing.
- Missing source URLs, weak claims, unsupported conclusions, and stale references.
- Translation quality, language leakage, title quality, metadata, canonical URL, and hreflang consistency.
- Media availability, source trail visibility, and reciprocal links between the short brief and expanded article.
What it does not do
The site should not silently rewrite the expanded story after TG-NEWS has produced it. The right place to improve longform text quality is the LLM preparation step in TG-NEWS, with the site gate catching failures and blocking publication when needed.
Publication rule
Passing records can publish automatically. Failed records should be visible in the admin surface as exceptions. Manual editing is useful for control, but normal publication should not require Sergey to approve every ordinary story by hand.
