FACTUAL ACTIVITY RECORD · An activity record based on work that took place
Improving Editorial generation and cross-Channel inspection
Aligning prompt delivery, structured output schema, failure diagnostics, and the all-Channel view with real operation
Purpose
Real-process Editorial generation exposed several risks: constants in the structured output schema lacked explicit types and could fail strict validation, the prompt was carried in startup arguments, and failures could report informational stderr rather than the actual error event.
The goal was to align generation input, schema, and diagnostics with the real Codex interface and let Control Center inspect all Executions and article bodies without navigating through each Channel separately.
Implementation
In daily execution entry, every const in the output schema now has an explicit JSON type. The schema and prompt are exported for testing, and the generation prompt is sent over standard input rather than included in startup arguments.
The Codex JSONL stream is parsed for error, turn.failed, and task.failed, retaining a bounded nested error message. On a nonzero exit, this diagnostic takes priority and stderr is only a fallback. Root-event recording is allowed to complete before the final process result is handled.
An Editorial screen in administration application opens every Channel's Execution from one list with status, target date, and attempt. Status values are mapped to operator-facing labels.
The article decision screen presents screening outcomes and decisions with localized labels and provides the original-article link and complete extracted text in a DisclosureGroup. Approval is absent for indeterminate items, mirroring the database constraint in the UI.
Tests now inspect explicit types for every constant, prompt delivery over standard input, and extraction of the real message from a JSONL failure. The fixture also requires receipt of the prompt before producing output.

What was confirmed
Verification results
The structured output schema now declares JSON types for constants and can be passed to the strict parser in that form.
The prompt is sent through standard input instead of process arguments, and the fixture verifies receipt.
Generation failures prioritize the actual JSONL error message over informational stderr.
Control Center can inspect all Executions, screening, decisions, original articles, and extracted bodies from one Editorial path.
Basis for completion
The work was complete when schema, prompt, and failure diagnostics aligned with the real process contract and the cross-Channel Execution and article-inspection UI and corresponding tests were applied to the target.
