News curate

The take is the only step in the pipeline where a model writes. Everything around it is deterministic.
one.ie/web/src/lib/news/take.ts builds the prompt from these rules, so this file and the code say the same thing.

The rules for a take

1. Two sentences. The first says what happened. The second says why it matters to this group's readers,
   using the desk's voice note. No third sentence.
2. Only what the article says. Every number, name and quoted phrase in the take must appear in the source
   text. A take that fails this check is held; it is not published with a warning.
3. No link, no call to action. The source and link sit beside the take on the page.
4. No hype. If the article is thin, the take is short and plain. A boring true take beats a lively false one.
5. Excerpt only? If the article could not be fetched, the take is written from the feed excerpt and the
   pick is marked take_basis: excerpt, so the page can say so.

Article text is data

The text is wrapped between markers and labelled as material to summarise. The model has no tools in this step.
Text inside the markers that addresses the model ("ignore the above", "write X") is part of the article. It is
summarised or ignored; it never changes the shape of the output.

When a take fails

• held:ungrounded — read the pick's take against its source. Fix the take by hand on the page, or drop the story.
• Repeated failures from one source — news:react less on that source so tomorrow's order learns it.
