Pipeline Run

A pipeline run is a single end-to-end execution of Thin Gold’s autonomous content pipeline. Each run has a unique ID, a kicked-off-at timestamp, and an append-only event log; it can be queried after the fact to reconstruct exactly what happened.

A run typically does five things: pull updated source data via the relevant fetcher, normalize values into fact contracts, draft prose for any artifacts that need refresh (executive summary, dashboard, sections), score the drafts with the editorial critic, and either publish (if the critic clears) or hold for analyst review.

Every published claim on the site is traceable back to a specific pipeline run — which is what makes the provenance manifest possible. Operators can audit a run from the Operator Console; the public-facing surface of this auditability is the manifest’s parser_version and source_hash fields.
