The source-grounded prompt audit falsified v8 as the target newsroom
architecture. Run 59 narrative selection used ten provider calls, 1,373,208
input characters, 582,184 prompt tokens, and zero cached tokens.
`character-newsroom.v9` now uses typed append-only model items, stable selector
and Night action schemas, stable stage/model/schema cache routing, and no
prompt-embedded tool schemas or repeated prior actions. Veyra Kest sees the
complete embodied publication roster and assigns every story to a journalist whose character,
biases, and preferences inform that choice. Each reporter sees only their own
profile, assignment, and exact cited records. Dalen Marr alone raises one
complete factual checklist. Meret Sorn receives only queried articles, their
assignments and cited facts, and the affected reporter profiles; she gets one
chance to resolve exactly those objections while preserving the story. The
one-shot whole-page writer and generic byline registry are deleted.
Deterministic press admission still owns structure, provenance, query
disposition, and closure. Focused gates pass 475/475 library tests, 16/16
strategic-smoke tests, and all-target checks. No provider or simulation run has
been launched for v9.
Run 54 exposed one separate upstream publicity defect: a public strategic

- **Desk and press path:** accepted stable IDs lower once into the existing
self-contained semantic audit with source news IDs, channels, reliability,

attributes, institutions, populations, and places. Reader-facing numeric
labels are assigned only during lowering. The copy desk reads the selected
fact projection and writer page exactly once, returning all factual queries

at once as exact unique passages with reasons. The immutable close checkpoint
binds that report, page, agenda, task, sources, and receipts before the Night
Editor acts. The Night Editor receives the assignment, selected facts, page,
and numbered query list, then gets one action to disposition every query and
provide complete replacement prose for each queried article. In that same
close it may optionally replace any other article to sharpen its headline,
lede, throughline, rhythm, or ending. The press workbench freezes article

close exhausts the one action and prints the checkpointed journalist page with an
explicit non-applied close witness. There is no post-close model reread.
- **Agent context and cache path:** the generic harness sends typed append-only
user/assistant items instead of flattening every turn into one new user
transcript. Selector query, proposal, and commit share one stable structured
action schema, so each later provider request preserves the exact previous
prefix. The Night close schema is likewise stable across checklist contents;
its private workbench enforces the exact queried set. Tool schemas stay in the
provider output contract rather than being duplicated in prompt text.
Prompt-cache routing binds stage, model class, and exact output schema;
changing world context does not mint another routing key, while changing the
contract does. Each journalist receives only one pitch and its records. Copy
receives the complete selected desk because it alone checks the page; Night

- **Shared paths:** fresh composition queries stable records, proposes one or
more agendas, observes the deterministic front-page proof for each proposal,
and commits exactly one current candidate before invoking the writer. Fresh
work then follows one path: writer, copy report, immutable close checkpoint,
and commits exactly one current candidate before invoking the assigned
journalists. Fresh work then follows one path: one bounded reporter agent per

close checkpoint and does not rerun assignment, writer, or copy desk. A

persisted composition is revalidated against its close checkpoint and exact

- **Persistence and compatibility:** the live internal contract is
`canopy-ledger-night-editor.v8`. Close checkpoint v1 binds the assigned agenda,
writer page, single copy report, task and exact editorial bindings, source
`character-newsroom.v9`. Public request schema v3 carries the publication
roster and binds it into the task and editorial identities. Close checkpoint
v1 binds the assigned agenda, assembled page, single copy report, task and exact editorial bindings, source
checkpoint when present, and immutable receipt chain. Composition v3 stores
the printed issue, copy report, press-close witness, and receipts. Public issue
schema v3 remains unchanged. Candidate agendas and front-page proofs remain
ephemeral. V7 reconciliation checkpoint v3 is read-only resume provenance:
an explicit external import may materialize the exact immutable Run 58 copy
tip once, but v8 never appends to or advances that chain. Only a v7 tip whose
rejecting owner is the copy desk can become one v8 close checkpoint; its
tip once, but v9 never appends to or advances that chain. Only a v7 tip whose
rejecting owner is the copy desk can become one v9 close checkpoint; its
draft, agenda, query report, bindings, and receipt ancestry must validate
exactly. A v7 Night Editor rejection fails closed rather than being recast as
copy evidence. Run 58's v7 copy tip is imported into one v8 Night Editor
close without replaying ledger queries, agenda selection, writer, copy desk,
copy evidence. Run 58's v7 copy tip is imported into one v9 Night Editor
close without replaying ledger queries, agenda selection, journalists, copy desk,
world mechanics, strategic waves, or accepted per-wave publications.
- **Cut line:** `NewsroomSource`, transient ordinal selection IDs, fact-bundle
deduplication, fixed newest-32/preceding-12/foundational-12 windows,
per-story and total citation ceilings, global record uniqueness across
articles, and the newspaper-local event-kind status mapping are removed.
The direct `submit_agenda` acceptance path is also removed: query plus a
structurally valid proposal is insufficient authority to invoke the editor.
Phrase replacements, finding references, target-field and
paragraph addressing, byte-span resolution, overlap ordering, empty-phrase
deletion, and article deletion remain absent. V8 additionally deletes the
publication-review verdict union, editorial-quality verdict, generic rewrite
desk, bounded multi-action rewrite cadence, repeated copy-desk calls, Night
Editor rereview, reconciliation advancement, and pending-as-editorial-state
path. No compatibility path may retain those operations as live writers.
Whole-article prose is the sole Night Editor close unit. Query-bearing
articles are mandatory, any other existing article is optional, and the
admitted agenda plus deterministic close merge owns everything around them.
Query projection and front-page proof reuse the generic agent harness and
existing public-record, agenda, accepted issue, and audit shapes. No
dependency, crate, binary, daemon, persistent schema, service, cache, event
writer, target platform, code-generation path, or world-simulation pass was
added.
- **Cut line:** the generic byline list and one-shot whole-page writer are
deleted. Assignment-owned section, journalist, byline, citations, and order
are no longer regenerated in prose output. Tool schema text and prior-action
copies are absent from prompts; agent history is no longer flattened and
retransmitted as a newly rendered user transcript. Selector commands no
longer mutate the action schema as records become visible. Phrase-level
repairs, repeated copy calls, Night rereview, post-close model judgment, and
edits to unqueried articles remain absent. Whole-article prose is the sole
Night Editor close unit, and exactly the query-bearing articles are mandatory.

targets, one Night Editor action, complete query disposition, mandatory

or editorial stage, deterministic source/printed digests,
exact receipt ancestry, close-checkpoint resume without writer or copy replay,
idempotent persisted-composition validation, printing the checkpointed page
after a structurally rejected close, and conversion of one legacy v7 copy tip
into one v8 close without replay. Strategic recomposition v3 binds the copy
