Page and pipeline, reconciled.
The audit pass lifted eleven anchors from placeholder to verified on the published page. This release makes the same edits real in the underlying retrieval code, so a fresh pipeline run does not silently revert the audit.
The previous audit pass logged eleven anchor passages as primary-source verified and enriched the December 2024 U.S. chip-controls entry with China's same-week retaliatory export ban and the joint statement from China's four major chip-industry trade groups. Most of those edits landed in editorial notes and on the live page; not all of them propagated into the underlying retrieval pipeline. The pattern is the same one the Restriction Index project hit at a similar stage: the published page drifts ahead of the code, a pipeline re-run silently overwrites the page's claims, and source-of-truth becomes ambiguous until reconciliation lands.
On the code side: the corpus module now reads verifiedon eleven of twelve anchor entries (the August 2020 People's Daily dual-circulation editorial remains a placeholder by design, pending print-archive retrieval). Primary URLs are pinned per anchor. The event-response module reflects the December 2024 enrichment: the recorded policy lever is now retaliatory export control plus sanction, the observed response window tightens to two days, and China's commerce-ministry notice plus the joint industry-association statement appear in the entry's source URLs. Multi-lever responses are handled via a new secondary-lever field, since the original lever schema was single-valued.
Translation discrepancies stay in editorial notes only at this version. The schema work that makes them queryable from code is the next release's focus — out of scope for this propagation pass.
Technical detail
- Corpus module: eleven of twelve verification-status fields moved from placeholder to verified; the August 2020 People's Daily dual-circulation editorial remains a placeholder.
- Primary URLs pinned per verified anchor: marxists.org (Mao 1949), rrojasdatabank (Mao 1956), dengxiaopingworks.wordpress.com (Deng 1978, 1992), the PRC embassy mirror in Latvia (Jiang 1995), the PRC consulate mirror in Manchester (Hu 2007), chinacopyrightandmedia.wordpress.com (Xi 2012), digichina.stanford.edu (Xi 2018), xinhuanet.com (Xi 2019), english.www.gov.cn (Taiwan white paper 2022), en.qstheory.cn (Xi 2024 new quality productive forces).
- Event-response module, December 2024 entry: China's commerce-ministry export-ban notice (CSET translation) and the joint chip-industry-association statement added to source URLs; observed response window tightened from one day to two; multi-lever response handled via a new secondary-lever field, since the original lever schema was single-valued.
- Translation discrepancies remain in editorial notes only at this version; the dataclass that puts them on the underlying doctrinal-passage objects is scheduled for the next release's schema work.
- Source-of-truth direction restored: page and pipeline are now consistent on anchor verification status and on the December 2024 enrichment. A fresh pipeline run reproduces the page's claims rather than overwriting them.
What this opens. Same pattern the Restriction Index project hit at the same stage: page-only edits are tempting because they ship fast, but they break the precondition for any auto-research loop — the pipeline has to be source-of-truth for the page, or fresh runs silently revert published findings. The next release extends the schema so translation variants stop being editorial-note-only too.
