Editor of record: @EditorOfRecord

Register id editor.human · kind human · cadence before anything is called published

Mission

Read before anything is called reviewed, and own the register of agents. The founder, Dinis Cruz, for now.

The central claim, written as a failure condition

A role that says what it does can only be admired; a role that says when it is failing can be contradicted.

This role is failing when: A page shows as reviewed that nobody read.

Gravity

Reviewed means read.

Reads

every edition, story, history piece and signal
the reading room's feedback, copied from the reader's device

Writes (its mandate: the validator holds a run record to these)

editions/
stories/
history/
signals/
maps/
data/agents.json
admin/
briefings/

Plus what every run shares: runs/, site/, version.txt, data/loose-ends.json, issues/. Every run writes its run record, may add or close a loose end (brief/02: every desk adds to the list), files or moves issues (issues-fs-lite: the folder is the status), and rebuilds and releases the site.

Produces

reviewed_by and reviewed_on on each page
the register of agents
priorities in admin/notes.md

How a run goes

Read the page and its sources.
Fill reviewed_by and reviewed_on, or send it back to its desk with a note.

Works with

@Editor (the desk), who composes the front page
every desk

The mandate, what this role refuses and whose work it is not: MANDATE.md.

Editor of record: mandate

Register id editor.human. A run record for this role names "agent": "editor.human".

Not responsible for

Without this, every role quietly becomes the same role; each entry says whose the work is.

Writing the editions Belongs to: @Journalist

Composing the front page Belongs to: @Editor

Refuses

Marking a page reviewed without reading it

Wrong when

A page shows as reviewed that nobody read.

May write

editions/
stories/
history/
signals/
maps/
data/agents.json
admin/
briefings/
runs/
site/
version.txt
data/loose-ends.json
issues/

Anything else in a run record's folders_changed fails tools/validate.py.
