PIPELINE ARCHITECTURE // SYSTEM 1 TRIAGE + SYSTEM 2 SYNTHESIS

Four-Stage Automated PIR Workflow

STAGE 1

Ingestion & Deterministic De-duplication (`/api/cron/ingest`)

Scheduled Cron pulls target RSS feeds (Reuters, AP, Ars Technica, Hacker News), strips HTML to clean plain text, and hashes URLs (`url_hash`) so only net-new articles enter classification.

STAGE 2

The “System 1” Triage Gate (Jev / Zero-Shot NLI)

Evaluates raw article text in a single forward pass (~120ms): scores Signal vs. Noise (drops items below 0.75 confidence before spending generation tokens), computes the 6-Tool probability vector, and assigns the primary SRE Failure Mode.

STAGE 3

Structured Telemetry Ledger (`telemetry_articles`)

Stores source metadata, the complete Jev probability distribution across all six Working Tools, confidence score, and SRE failure tag in indexed structured storage.

STAGE 4

The “System 2” Bounded Socratic Synthesis

Strictly bound by the Stage-2 database record (forbidden from inventing angles). Writes the neutral Socratic Brief, the Diagnostic Lens breakdown, the Proportionality Check, and 3–4 Socratic Inquiry questions.

Submit any headline and summary below to run the real-time classifier and publish a new Incident Brief to the live Trestleboard.

EPISTEMIC HUMILITY & ZERO AI SLOP GOVERNANCE CHARTER
CHARTER RULE 01 // ZERO DEFINITIONS

Never Lecture the Craft

Weekly rollup scripts and incident briefs are strictly forbidden from reciting monitorial definitions of the Working Tools or basic SRE acronyms. Tools are invoked as operational verbs and diagnostic instruments that the audience speaks natively.

CHARTER RULE 02 // EPISTEMIC HUMILITY

The “Pending Post-Mortem” Rule

The pipeline never declares a partisan villain or predicts catastrophic outcomes. Ongoing stories are framed as active incidents with incomplete telemetry—highlighting what data is missing and what Socratic questions will prove whether the system is recovering.

CHARTER RULE 03 // PROPORTIONALITY CHECK

Isolate Jitter from Capacity

Every synthesized brief must explicitly separate one sensationalized detail the news cycle is overblowing (alert noise/jitter) from the underlying structural or architectural constraint (signal/capacity).
