On 2026-07-15, a misattributed article title was corrected directly in the DB. The page rendered correctly, the daemon showed the right title, and the deploy shipped — then the autopilot's next ingest cycle ran, read the file mirror where the title was still wrong, and overwrote the DB row. The fix lasted less than an hour. The root cause wasn't the DB update; it was that the file-mirror write had literal ' ' sequences baked in, so re-ingesting from it would always produce broken content.
