## Scope boundary
697
698
This is a small architectural refactor around an existing RSS crawler, so Leela implemented directly rather than reassigning to Bender. Deeper crawler work, such as source-specific parsing, feed health dashboards, or correlation logic, should remain Bender-owned.

708
+## Finding
709
+
710
+The pipeline stages that produce and publish data succeeded. The only failed job was `notify`, where `gh release create week-2026-W23` returned HTTP 422 because the `week-2026-W23` release already existed.
711
+
712
+## Decision
713
+
714
+Treat this as a real QA-owned workflow idempotency bug, not a transient network or rate-limit failure. Weekly notify must be safe to rerun for an already-published week.
715
+
716
+## Fix
717
+
718
+Update the notify release step to check for the weekly release tag. If it exists, edit the existing release title/notes and mark it latest; otherwise create it as before.
719
+
720
+## Validation
721
+
722
+- `PYTHONPATH=. .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/test_pipeline.py -q` — 9 passed.
723
+- `PYTHONPATH=. .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests -q` — 563 passed after installing project requirements and pytest in a local venv.

+# Leela PR #241 Review — Idempotent Weekly Release Notify
730
+
731
+- Date: 2026-06-05
732
+- Context: Issue #238 showed a real rerun failure in `notify`: `gh release create week-2026-W23` returned HTTP 422 because the weekly release already existed.
733
+- Decision: Keep weekly release notification idempotent by resolving the weekly tag first, editing an existing `week-*` release with `gh release edit`, and creating only when no release exists.
734
+- Review result: Approved in substance. Formal GitHub approval was blocked because the authenticated account is the PR author, so Leela posted an explicit lead approval comment instead of bypassing the review gate.
735
+- Validation: `tests/test_pipeline.py` passed locally (9 tests), full `tests` passed locally (563 tests), CodeQL checks were green, and Copilot PR review completed with no comments.
736
+- Merge gate: Do not merge from this account until the repository's independent-review requirement for `jmservera`-authored PRs is satisfied.
737
+- PR #241 merged at 2026-06-05T17:21:05Z, closing issue #238.

747
+## Decision
748
+
749
+Keep external RSS/news in the existing crawl job with bounded in-process parallelism, but promote the handoff to a canonical `schema_version: 2` `data/raw/{week}-external-news.json` artifact. The artifact carries crawl window, source config checksum, requested/succeeded/failed sources, per-source status metrics, dedupe count, deterministic checksum, and partial-failure metadata.
750
+
751
+## Rationale
752
+
753
+The measured bottleneck remains the GitHub repository crawl, not the five-source RSS step. Source-aware telemetry and schema validation improve downstream reliability without adding Actions matrix startup overhead or splitting cache/API behavior.
754
+
755
+## Operational notes
756
+
757
+`correlate.py` and `render_press_context.py` now preserve article source/title/date/URL citations, label strong versus weak correlations, bound press context size to an ~8k token estimate, and keep legacy `*-techcrunch.json` and no-press fallbacks.

+- Verdict: approved in substance after independent lead review.
780
+- Scope checked: issue #237 acceptance criteria follow-up, PR #242 Copilot comments, PR #243 diff, tests, CodeQL, Copilot review state.
781
+- Local validation: clean PR worktree ran `pytest tests -q` with 574 passed.
782
+- Formal GitHub approval blocked: the active account is the PR author and GitHub rejected own-PR approval.
783
+- Merge gate: wait for an independent non-Bender reviewer/approval unless repository policy explicitly permits merge with the lead approval comment.
