Canonical ownership across publications

One owner per article; bounded, attributed excerpts.

Canonical ownership across publications

Every article has exactly one canonical owner. When we quote another publication, the excerpt is bounded, attributed, and links back — it never competes as a duplicate.

We hold every claim to the same bar: it must be reproducible from an exact commit. Canonical is no different. The pipeline reads a frozen revision set, renders each article through one Markdown policy, and emits an isolated static site — no runtime API, no credentials, no cookies. That constraint is not decoration; it is what makes the writing trustworthy. If a reader cannot rebuild the artifact behind a sentence, the sentence does not ship. The same discipline governs how we measure success: a small, closed set of privacy-minimal signals, never fingerprinting, never article-level PII. The result is a publication that behaves like the products it describes — deterministic, isolated, and honest about its own evidence.
