The archive

Between 22 August and 10 October 2026 this site argued for a newsroom, specified it, and tried parts of it. Then the newsroom ran. This is what it said on the way, kept, dated, and labelled with what overtook each part.

Nothing here was deleted, and nothing here moved. Every page keeps the address it was published at, so the links into it still work, and each one carries a dated note saying why it is here and what overtook it. The page below that note is as it was. 78 pages are in the archive; the newsroom and the design pages that still stand are not.

What this site said before the newsroom ran

Page	Written	What it was	Why it is here	Now
The home page, 22 August to 10 October 2026	22 August 2026	The front page while this site was an argument: the thesis, the four things that ran, and a strip of release news.	The front page is now the newsroom's.	The front page
What is shipped, what is argued (August 2026)	23 August 2026	The line between what ran and what was only argued, drawn when nothing ran.	It said nothing on this site was running. That stopped being true; the line is redrawn at the same address.	What runs, what is designed
The newsroom: roles and operations, as designed	23 August 2026	The newsroom as a design: the roles people and agents would hold, and how work would move between them.	The newsroom now runs, with six roles working under written behaviour policies, a board and a public log.	How it runs

The instances, as they ran

Page	Written	What it was	Why it is here	Now
The Governance Wire 19 pages	28 August 2026	A fully agentic publication over what regulators publish: seven agent roles, a graph, a source register and a point-and-click newsroom floor.	It made one research run, on 28 August 2026, and its verification layer was designed and never built. Its method now runs in the World News Day corpus and the newsroom.	The AI governance stack, as a graph How it runs
Portugal Startups 24 pages	13 September 2026	The Portuguese startup ecosystem from primary sources, built around Startup Summit Lisbon 2026: frozen and hashed sources, a graph of 329 nodes, three stories, a named human editor.	The event is over, and the beat has its own site, which took the method and the evidence from here.	pt.newsroom.sgit.ai
pt.newsroom.sgit.ai: the home-page designs 2 pages	13 September 2026	Four home-page directions for the Portuguese-language newsroom, and the one chosen, drawn with real data.	The site they were drawn for now exists.	pt.newsroom.sgit.ai
The MVPs: publication instances	25 August 2026	The small publications the design material named in April and May 2026, as specified.	Some were built, differently; the rest are the record of what was planned. What can be copied today is on the replication page.	Replicate this newsroom
The Portugal instance, as specified	25 August 2026	A bilingual daily on a knowledge-graph backbone, eleven agent roles and a thirty-day plan.	It was built differently, as Portugal Startups and then as its own site.	pt.newsroom.sgit.ai

Design pages the newsroom has overtaken

Page	Written	What it was	Why it is here	Now
Show your work	23 August 2026	Fifteen newsroom departments, each a public page.	The newsroom that runs shows its work with six roles, their policies, a board and a run log.	How it runs
A worked story: £8.40	23 August 2026	One story's production cost, sources and time, itemised as a design.	The newsroom now publishes what its own articles actually took.	How much of this did I write?
Contextual validation, not truth	23 August 2026	The long form of the economics argument, with the 60/25/10/5 upstream split worked through.	The concept page keeps the argument. The split has never been tested; the reading meter has.	Paying the fact creator Pay after you read
The payment rails	23 August 2026	x402 and the other machine-payment rails, as they stood in August 2026.	Market facts with a date on them. The newsroom took another route: a reading meter in the browser, with a card top-up planned.	Going live with the reading meter
242 papers	23 August 2026	A second worked case for the corrections argument: one biomedical belief, 242 papers, 675 citations.	The design keeps one worked case, the 10,000-hours claim.	The claim that would not die
Staleness in the wild	23 August 2026	The EU AI Act's consolidated text, dated two years behind the law, as observed in August 2026.	A dated observation, and the Governance Wire's lead story, which is archived with it.	Corrections must propagate
Agenda is context	23 August 2026	An essay on disclosing an agenda rather than dismissing a claim for having one.	This site's own disclosure is the participant page, which stays.	Where we lose: the disclosure

The material this site was built from

Page	Written	What it was	Why it is here	Now
The brief pack and the research briefs 19 pages	21 August to 14 September 2026	What this site was asked to be in August 2026, before any of it ran, and the briefs written for pt.newsroom.	It is the origin record. The markdown sources stay in briefs/ in the repository.	The design, and what runs
The library: 2025 to 2026	23 August 2026 (the articles: February to October 2025)	Ten articles, 68,846 words, published at docs.diniscruz.ai in 2025.	Where the ideas started. The live argument is now the newsroom's articles.	Every article
Micro and nano payments (2025)	23 August 2026 (the article: 2 April 2025)	The longest treatment of paying for news in pence, written fifteen months before any payment rail for it existed.	Prior art. The newsroom's reading meter is what that argument became.	A meter in the browser

The archive was made in release v0.5.5 → the next, on 10 October 2026. Every earlier state of every page is in the repository history, and every release is in the release history.

For an agent

Pages listed here are historical. Each states its own date and what overtook it in a note at the top. Do not describe anything on an archived page as current, running or planned without checking the page it points to under Now. The current line between what runs and what is designed is at /shipped/.
