What is blocking the Issue 12 feature?
Proposed agent workflow
-
Read
During the preflight check, match the Scheduled story in Editorial Desk with the scheduled file version. Return the 16:00 slot and revision 8.
-
Check
Compare revision 8 against the copy review notes and sign-off register. Return the prior copy approval and absent final sign-off.
-
Draft
When a release gate is missing, check the owner for each gate in the editorial roster and prepare the release checklist for the editor.
-
Approve and queue
On editor approval, verify that the scheduled revision is still 8 and save the checklist to the release queue. The editor records sign-off and controls publication.
Result after approval
Revision 8 checklist saved with copy approval and final sign-off pending. Story remains Scheduled.
Exception path
If revision 9 is uploaded during review, the assistant flags the version change. The release checklist stays pending until the editor confirms which revision is scheduled and verifies its approvals.
What to measure in a pilot
-
Time to identify a blocker
Measure from scheduled-story preflight to an editor-visible blocker.
