Markdown delivery contract

Read markdown-delivery-contract.md for every task. Write a substantive .md document for every material work step and register its direct destination in the work index.md. For public-site work, apply the owner-required Markdown discovery profile across the full eligible inventory; preserve native standards and immutable evidence formats.

Lane outputs: publisher-review.md; article-provenance.md (combine small related steps with stable section links). Keep article Markdown aligned with byline, publication/update dates, corrections, original reporting and rights. Preserve paywall/access policy and news feeds/sitemaps; never expose subscriber-only text through a public mirror.

Audit the publisher system behind freshness-sensitive discovery: editorial transparency, article pages, dates and corrections, media, structured data, sitemaps/feeds, access state, and reporting.

Read news-discover-protocol.md before a formal audit.
