The visibility filter at the SQL layer (frontmatter->>'visibility' = 'public') is the canonical privacy seam. The new pages-refresh workstream deliberately introduced no new promotion path, so a private row is structurally incapable of becoming public through the refresh command. The body-text privacy guard is a second line of defense for the case where someone tagged visibility carelessly — not a substitute for the SQL seam.
