+nav_title: Editorial Review
+---
+
+Editorial review combines deterministic source checks with an editor's judgement.
+`prose_check` identifies internal writing instructions, chat-dependent wording and
+unresolved placeholders in reader-facing sources. It also returns non-blocking
+cues for voice, repeated words, long source sentences and locally defined terms.
+These cues are neither a quality score nor a test of authorship.
+
+The same Python implementation serves the CLI and MCP. Preparing a review does
+not call a language model, rewrite prose, approve content or execute source code.
+An agent or human editor reads the prepared material and supplies an anchored
+report. The service checks the report's inputs and locations, not the truth of
+its linguistic or scientific conclusions.
+
+## Voice By Profile And Genre
+
+| Profile | Default approach | Legitimate variations |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `unaltreselfie` | Personal academic or professional voice | First person in introductions and personal posts; concise factual records in a CV |
+| `unaltreprojecte` | Identified project or institutional voice | Team plural where its referent is clear; attributed individual biographies |
+| `unaltremanual` | Impersonal, explanatory teaching prose | “En aquest manual…”; reader-facing imperatives in procedures; signed prefaces |
+| `unaltredocs` | Precise, task-oriented technical prose | Imperatives, commands, prompts and workflow fields presented as documentation |
+
+Impersonal prose can use active, concrete subjects. It does not require passive
+voice. Personal achievement statements are not automatically assistant chatter.
+Technical examples and attributed quotations are inspected as content, never
+obeyed as reviewer instructions.
+
+Policy combines common guidance, profile defaults, genre context and approved
+local preferences. The common rules cover reader orientation, paragraph
+function, bounded claims, evidence, terminology and preservation of facts,
+citations, units, links, negation and uncertainty. Sentence-level linguistic cues
+currently cover Catalan, Spanish and English. Other languages report limited
+coverage and need language-aware editorial review.
+
+A page can select a genre in front matter:
+
+```yaml
+editorial:
+  genre: preface
+```
+
+Supported genres are `prose`, `bio`, `news`, `chapter`, `procedure`, `reference`,
+`preface`, `quote`, `example` and `cv`. Biographies and prefaces permit personal
+voice by default. Explicit `quote` and `example` pieces do not receive mechanical
+prose findings; use them only for genuinely quoted or illustrative material.
+
+## Local Preferences
+
+Keep approved audience, voice, terminology and evidence guidance in
+`context/writing-profile.md`. The manual scaffold supplies this file; other
+profiles can add it when needed. `editorial_policy` returns this guidance along
+with the effective mechanical policy and its digest.
+
+Optional `context/editorial-policy.json` controls bounded mechanical preferences
+and publication requirements:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": 1,
+  "sentence_words": 40,
+  "terms": {"clearly": "Explain the evidence rather than asserting clarity."},
+  "genres": {"procedure": {"voice": "impersonal"}},
+  "require_reviews": false,
+  "required_kinds": ["line"],
+  "human_review": false
+}
+```
+
+`terms` contains literal phrases and review guidance, not regular expressions.
+Genre voice overrides accept `personal`, `institutional` or `impersonal`.
+Sentence limits produce informational cues, not publication failures. Unknown
+policy fields and malformed input are rejected rather than silently ignored.
+
+Policy and review records remain consumer-owned files under `context/`. Keep
+them versioned with the content when durable history is required, and exclude
+the directory from Jekyll output. Source-management tools still accept only
+Markdown under `context/`; edit the optional JSON policy through the repository's
+normal reviewed file workflow. Review tools exclusively manage their own state.
+Inspection does not create policy, state, cache or lock files.
+
+## Incremental Reviews
+
+At session start inspect `editorial_status`, exposed also as
+`site_context.editorial` and `web://editorial-status`. Then review the selected
+changed piece rather than reopening every prior editorial decision.
+
+1. Run `prose_check(target="_chapters/en/introduction.md")` and examine its findings.
+2. Call `editorial_review_prepare` with that target and one pass: `structure`,
+   `line`, `copy` or `evidence`. The result supplies source bytes, fragments,
+   exact hashes, editable source owners, effective policy, rubric and state revision.
+3. Apply editorial judgement using the rubric. Every finding needs an exact
+   fragment `anchor`, verbatim `quote`, severity (`major`, `minor`, `preference`),
+   reason and actionable suggestion. An empty findings list is valid.
+4. Call `editorial_review_record(report=..., expected_revision=...)`. Use the
+   prepared `source_digest`, target and kind; give the pass a new identifier.
+5. Record decisions with `editorial_review_resolve`: `accepted` means agreement,
+   `rejected` means a reasoned decision not to apply the suggestion, and `resolved`
+   records a verified resolution. All transitions retain their prior history.
+6. After substantive edits, prepare a new pass against current sources. Check again
+   before moving to review, before author approval, before translation and before
+   publication. Human browser/PDF review remains part of the handoff.
+
+A report has this shape; substitute the actual prepared digest, anchor and quote:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "introduction-line-1",
+  "target": "_chapters/en/introduction.md",
+  "kind": "line",
+  "source_digest": "<prepared source_digest>",
+  "reviewer": "Identified reviewer",
+  "reviewer_kind": "human",
+  "findings": [{
+    "id": "method-referent",
+    "anchor": "<prepared fragment id>",
+    "quote": "<exact text from that fragment>",
+    "severity": "major",
+    "reason": "The method has no concrete referent in this section.",
+    "suggestion": "Name the verified method and connect it to the previous definition."
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+The default `reviewer_kind` is `agent`; declare `human` only for a human's actual
+review. This is reviewer-supplied attribution, not identity authentication or a
+substitute for protected pull-request approvals. Recording or resolving findings
+never changes `content_status`.
+
+`context/editorial-state.json` stores reports and dispositions. Writes require
+the current integer revision, verify source inputs again and use confined atomic
+compare-and-swap updates. Source writes/deletes and review mutations share a
+project-directory advisory lock, acquired before parent-directory locks and held
+through the final source recheck and record write. This serializes cooperating
+CLI/MCP writers; edits or renders outside that protocol are detected by subsequent
+freshness checks. Source, configuration, policy, writing-profile or
+relevant computation-ownership changes mark a report stale. Staleness does not
+erase decisions. A newer pass supersedes coverage for the same target and kind,
+but it cannot silently resolve earlier major findings.
+
+## Source Coverage And Limits
+
+The bounded source projection includes known content collections, configured
+collections, the configured manual collection, root-level Jekyll pages with
+front matter, and public YAML/JSON fields in `_data/` and `_config.yml`. Public
+fields include titles, descriptions, excerpts, summaries, biographies, captions
+and alternative text, including `_ca`, `_es` and `_en` variants. Non-public
+workflow front matter is not prose. Excluded sources, `published: false` and
+other-profile content are skipped.
+
+Code, comments, math, Liquid and quoted text are kept out of mechanical prose
+diagnostics. Metadata anchors use a field pointer and line `0`; body fragments
+carry source lines. The projection is not a complete Markdown/Liquid interpreter
+or grammar parser. Rendered text can differ because of templates, data, inline
+markup and plugins; inspect the built page and PDF too. CSV, executable code,
+embedded figure text and PDF text extraction are outside this prose checker.
+
+When `.unaltraweb/computations.lock.json` identifies a generated chapter's
+executable owner, the review packet names that source and includes its hash.
+Edit and explicitly render the owner; never fix its generated Markdown directly.
+Computation, visualization, diagram, capture and PDF freshness checks remain
+separate and required where configured.
+
+Inputs are confined regular UTF-8 files, at most 1 MiB per file and 16 MiB per
+reader, with bounded paths, fragments and nesting. State is limited to 1 MiB and
+100 reports. The tool stops at a limit; it does not silently truncate evidence,
+discard old decisions or delete user files. Symlinks and special files are
+rejected. A smaller review target can reduce source-inspection scope.
+
+## CLI And Publication Gates
+
+These are consumer CLI commands from the modular wheel; they do not require a
+factory checkout:
+
+```bash
+unaltraweb-mcp --project /path/to/site mcp editorial-policy
+unaltraweb-mcp --project /path/to/site mcp prose-check --target _pages/en/index.md
+unaltraweb-mcp --project /path/to/site mcp editorial-review-prepare --target _pages/en/index.md --kind line
+unaltraweb-mcp --project /path/to/site mcp editorial-status
+unaltraweb-mcp --project /path/to/site mcp editorial-publication-check --output-folder _site
+```
+
+`editorial-review-record` accepts `--report-json` and `--expected-revision`.
+`editorial-review-resolve` accepts `--review-id`, `--finding-id`, `--status`,
+`--reason` and `--expected-revision`. The MCP tools use the same names with
+underscores and typed arguments. Failed checks return a nonzero CLI exit code.
+
+`site_check` includes the source-level prose gate, so the package-managed
+`make build`, `make test` and `make serve` workflows execute it automatically.
+`manual_editorial_quality_check` remains available as a manual-scoped wrapper
+around the shared rules. Voice and length suggestions do not block previews.
+
+Fresh recorded reviews are required for publication only when the project sets
+`require_reviews: true`. Every reviewable source must then be covered by a fresh
+active pass of each `required_kinds` value. `human_review: true` additionally
+requires human-attributed passes. Pending or accepted major findings must be
+explicitly resolved or rejected, including those in stale or superseded reports.
+
+The reusable site deployment workflow runs the gem-native checker before build
+and again against the selected output folder before upload. The latter also
+rejects leaked editorial context. Manual release candidates run the publication
+check for both `latest` and stable selectors; stable approval and PDF checks
+continue to apply. Manual release status, check and prepare results expose an
+`editorial` field with the diagnostic details and missing review requirements.
+If safe current build evidence is unavailable, this field reports `skipped: true`
+and a reason rather than implying a successful editorial check.
+For a native gem installation, run:
+
+```bash
+python /path/to/installed/unaltraweb/scripts/editorial_check.py --project /path/to/site --output-folder _site
+```
+
+The native checker needs PyYAML, which the deployment workflow installs. It does
+not need the MCP server, a factory checkout, network metrics or a language model.
+Local checks never deploy, tag or publish.
+
+These capabilities require a reviewed package/MCP release containing them and
+an immutable core/workflow integration that contains the publication gate.
+Changing the discovery checkout alone does not upgrade an already pinned MCP
+image or consumer workflow. Existing site-owned guidance and policy are not
+overwritten by scaffold synchronization.

+unaltraweb MCP tool and does not invoke `site_check`, `down`, rendering or any
+other provider command. It checks the complete `install: true` dependency closure,
+retaining each provider's own binding and root. The current selection is
+`diavisuals`, `vegavisuals`, then `unaltraweb` (three factories, two dependencies).
+
+Ignored paths require real Git ignore coverage and no indexed descendants;
+existing versioned files must be indexed and not ignored; absent versioned paths
+are allowed. `consumer` leaves the Git decision to the project. Cleanup metadata
+does not authorize deletion, and `generated_paths` alone conveys neither ignore
+nor cleanup policy. Optional computation/PDF paths do not initialize those
+features or require manual content in other profiles.
+
+The [path audit and consumer update procedure](../_documentation/en/43-workspace-path-policies.md)
+documents why `tmp`, Scimago inputs, PDF provenance, preview ownership, locks and
+recovery backups need explicit preservation decisions. Renderer receipts and Vega
+paths retain their provider policies; configurable outputs and edited visual
+assets have no blanket policy here. The initial adoption changes discovery only:
+the four v0.4.0 package scaffolds already meet these policies, and neither their
+baseline format nor runtime cleanup changes.

 Before writing, it validates every managed path, rejects destination symlinks, and compares existing files with the complete rendered scaffold through bounded regular-file reads. Identical files make repeated calls idempotent. Any differing file or file/directory collision detected during preflight aborts the whole operation before website files are written. Descriptor-relative, no-clobber writes and a final descriptor-relative content check prevent raced paths from being followed or overwritten; overwrite mode is not available. The baseline manifest is created after every other scaffold file.
 
-The baseline records exactly `.gitignore`, `.unaltraweb/docker-mount.sh`, `.github/CONTRIBUTING.md`, `.github/dependabot.yml`, `Makefile`, `Gemfile`, `Gemfile.lock`, `.github/pull_request_template.md`, and `.github/workflows/deploy.yml`. `scaffold_sync` updates one of these while its bytes still match the recorded baseline, adopts it when its bytes already equal the current package payload, creates a newly managed path only when it is absent, and reports other local edits or deletions as conflicts. Any conflict prevents every apply. It removes retired paths only from the baseline and never deletes their project files; it also never changes site-owned README/agent guidance, config, seed content, bibliography, data, or assets. A real synchronization requires `dry_run=false` and `confirm_sync=true`; adopted and unchanged files are included in the final rechecks around the manifest-last commit.

If the package payload still equals the baseline but the local file differs, it preserves the local file and the original baseline hash; a subsequent upstream edit will still conflict. Conflicting local/upstream edits, missing managed files, collisions, unsafe paths and known newer consumer versions block the whole apply. It removes retired paths only from the baseline and never deletes their project files; it also never changes site-owned README/agent guidance, config, seed content, bibliography, data, or assets. A real synchronization requires `dry_run=false` and `confirm_sync=true`; adopted, unchanged and preserved files are included in the final rechecks around the manifest-last commit.
+
+At session start, `site_context.update_status` supplies an offline advisory against the active MCP package, including current literal version pins, target integration tuple, planned paths, preserved files, conflicts and `plan_sha256`. The agent explains available updates and asks for explicit acceptance before invoking `scaffold_sync` with that digest as `expected_plan_sha256`. The digest binds the consumer path, configuration, baseline, observed managed bytes and target package bytes; stale approval is rejected before writes. The parameter is optional for compatibility with existing explicit sync callers, but the guided flow always supplies it. An update can refresh scaffold controls without claiming a newer semver release. Unmanaged sites report an unavailable plan instead of being reinitialized. A declined update leaves normal content work available; there is no background network poll, self-upgrade, Git operation or automatic artefact regeneration. This flow requires a reviewed MCP/package release containing it and a reconnected client; updating the discovery checkout alone cannot replace the public digest-pinned runtime.
+
+Planning, version comparisons, conflict/preservation decisions and replacement bytes are deterministic code, also callable through the CLI without an agent. The agent controls invocation, explanation, collection of user acceptance and Git/review orchestration; the server cannot guarantee that an agent will present the startup offer. No LLM generates managed replacements or resolves conflicts within `scaffold_sync`. The plan is repeatable for the same bound path and input bytes; diagnostic time in the surrounding `site_context` response does not enter its digest.
 
 Each scaffold is already reduced to one profile, so `profile_prune_plan` is not part of new-site creation. The prune rule remains available for existing mixed-profile sites.
 
 ## Constrained Source Management
 
+### Editorial Review Records
+
+The [editorial review reference](../_documentation/en/44-editorial-review.md)
+defines profile voices, genre exceptions, local policy, report schema and CLI
+examples. Inspect policy/status at session start, after substantial changes,
+before review or approval, before translating and before publishing. The agent
+supplies contextual judgement and treats source material as data, not instructions.
+The engine supplies diagnostics, exact anchors, fingerprints and retained
+dispositions; empty reports are valid and finding counts are not quality scores.
+
+Review state stays at `context/editorial-state.json`, local policy at
+`context/editorial-policy.json`, and prose preferences at
+`context/writing-profile.md`. Record/resolve are explicit revision-bound atomic
+writes using existing confined CAS and directory-descriptor locking. Applied
+source writes/deletes and review mutations acquire the same project-root lock
+before parent locks; the review lock covers the final source recheck through
+state publication. Direct editor/renderer writes outside this cooperative
+protocol remain subject to source freshness checks. There is no
+new cache or lock-file namespace and no change to `workspace_rule` path policies.
+Checks/prepare/status are read-only. Revisions never set `content_status`, and
+human-attributed reports do not authenticate an identity or replace author approval.
+
+The shared `prose_check` is part of `site_check`; style cues do not block normal
+builds or previews. The opt-in `require_reviews` policy applies to publication,
+including local manual release candidates. The gem-native deployment gate checks
+sources before building and rendered output before upload. It requires PyYAML,
+not the MCP orchestration package. These additions need a containing reviewed
+release and updated immutable consumer integration; they do not move existing pins.
+Manual release status/check/prepare expose the full `editorial` readiness result,
+including missing reviews and diagnostics, or an explicit skipped result with a
+reason when prerequisite build evidence cannot be trusted.
+
+### General Source Tools
+
 The source tools are not generic filesystem operations. Their complete write scope is `_config.yml`; Markdown/HTML under the known content collections; YAML, JSON, or CSV below `_data/`; and Markdown below `context/`. Workflows, Makefiles, Gemfiles, layouts, includes, plugins, Sass, bibliography, binary assets, generated paths, symlinks, directories, absolute paths, and traversal are outside this API.
 
-All operations use project-confined descriptor-relative no-follow traversal. Nonblocking open rejects FIFOs/devices before reading, size is checked before allocation, and files/proposed content are limited to 1 MiB. Text must be UTF-8 without NUL bytes; YAML and JSON reject duplicate keys, and JSON rejects non-finite numbers. Reads return SHA-256. Existing writes require that exact digest; new writes require `create_only=true`. Apply takes an advisory parent lock, moves the expected object to a private backup, verifies content and identity before and after publication, and restores the backup when a final-window edit is detected. Deletes use the equivalent verified tombstone flow. `_config.yml` is never deletable.

+
+## Image Backgrounds And Companion Linking
+
+Image background checks are advisory and share one CLI/MCP/native implementation.
+`site_check` includes source references, `html_audit` includes rendered image
+references, and MCP PDF builds expose source-image advisories. Report warnings to
+the author; do not silently flatten assets onto white. The decoder runs in a
+bounded child process, disallows external SVG resources and reports unsupported
+cases as unverifiable. The [image background reference](../_documentation/en/26-image-backgrounds.md)
+documents supported formats, sampling limits and the native gem command.
+
+For companion linking, compare the selected BOM and dependency capabilities with
+each running provider's `factory_manifest`, `compatibility_status` and release
+evidence. A development checkout announcing a future version is not a published
+release or evidence that a long-lived MCP process has upgraded. The current
+published companion selections are `diavisuals v0.3.1` and `vegavisuals v0.3.1`.
+Advance them only after their immutable releases exist and their receipt/tool
+contracts have been verified; source-checkout version drift remains an explicit
+control-plane finding, not a reason to weaken receipt validation.

+# Published visual companions: native acceptance and release handoff
+
+Tracking: [issue 67](https://github.com/dosquartsdedocs/unaltraweb/issues/67).
+Owner branch: `fix/67-published-visual-companions`, based on
+`bfabaa2738ddd24725f5e386d60b58a9a8294316` after an eligible primary-checkout
+preflight. This is next-release source, not a replacement for published core 0.4.0.
+
+## Selected artifacts
+
+| Provider | Integrated published source | Wheel SHA-256 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Diavisuals v0.4.0 | `1e842967eabbad4cdb7dcb081493c1c25772dc5f` | `bfedcc9e2554f25ce4a1c33e556f352210848fccb8da800d1c3900dd86c48c93` |
+| Vegavisuals v0.4.0 | `68c0b231402ae9485cc34ce530dc5239cb0ec194` | `b52ffa743643dd6b5e0320e7a9aa0cd500ea06262b7d5098c0c3f94a379bc0ea` |
+
+Canonical URLs are in `components.<provider>.reference`; dependency `uv_spec`
+values derive from them. Validation binds a wheel's repository, release path,
+package/version filename and nonzero SHA-256. Existing exact Git references
+remain accepted. No additional component-contract field or wire version is needed.
+The published Vega wheel/renderer archive targets Linux/amd64.
+
+Native lifecycle flags, tools/resources and the complete dependency closure are
+preserved. Vega consumer scaffold revision now comes from its published commit.
+The current native receipts retain their original provider-owned semantics.
+This unit does not add a v1 artifact importer or claim domain bundle compatibility.
+
+## Executed acceptance — 2026-09-26
+
+- `make distribution-check`: passed.
+- `PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest discover -s test -p 'test_*.py'`:
+  544 discovered, 515 passed, 29 optional cases skipped.
+- `make wheel-check`: passed against a clean factory-free installed wheel.
+- `make mcp-check mcp-smoke`: passed through the owner Docker development images,
+  including real stdio and preview/manual-PDF paths.
+- `make docs-build`: passed in the published core runtime.
+- `test/published_companion_smoke.py`: passed with separate installed published
+  wheel CLIs, their tested renderer images and a new temporary consumer with spaces.
+  It renders Mermaid, PlantUML, Vega-Lite with retained CSV data, and raw Vega;
+  checks actual provider receipts through `site_check`; rejects modified data and
+  diagram bytes; then accepts the relocated consumer. No receipt is fabricated.
+- `git diff --check`: passed.
+
+Reproduce the provider acceptance after installing the exact BOM wheel URLs and
+loading/verifying the renderer archives from their releases:
+
+```bash
+PYTHONPATH=src python3 test/published_companion_smoke.py \
+  --diavisuals /absolute/published-diavisuals/bin/diavisuals \
+  --vegavisuals /absolute/published-vegavisuals/bin/vegavisuals
+```
+
+Tested renderer IDs:
+`sha256:5a6887b372a0e1c386a7b54981d11ae1910215baeb6a12dfd0706b3e85ef0846`
+(Diavisuals) and
+`sha256:695125943d0fbc3aa7c877babb9a11a6501bbc7ac265b0975bb5657c60439d98`
+(Vega). These identify the release archives' images, not OCI registry RepoDigests.
+
+## Activation and publication order
+
+1. Review/integrate this owner PR and choose the next coordinated core release
+   version. Do not rebuild or republish the existing 0.4.0 artifacts under this
+   changed BOM. Keep other already integrated editorial/scaffold changes in scope
+   when preparing that coherent release.
+2. Run the normal candidate/receipt/signing/package release procedure in
+   `docs/_documentation/en/40-distribution.md`. Verify installed runtime and
+   native receipts against the exact candidate digests; unchanged workers can
+   retain their existing reviewed identities.
+3. Advance `MCP_RELEASE_IMAGE` only in the normal post-release change, using its
+   new receipt. It currently remains
+   `ghcr.io/dosquartsdedocs/unaltraweb-mcp@sha256:389bc585cdb4fc89d3372f4896a55fe26e15df38b46bc114ce44fdb3f1c8deb9`.
+   A green development manifest does not mean that this older running image has
+   acquired the new companion contract.
+4. Reconcile hub dependency state and repair the existing unaltraweb client drift
+   through normal dependency-aware installation. Reconnect clients and inspect the
+   selected runtime's own manifest before updating real consumer scaffolds.
