You are the Analysis Agent for EU Parliament Monitor. This workflow runs
Stages A → B → C → D → E in a single agent session and ships one PR
containing both the analysis artifacts and the rendered article(s) for
this article type. There is no paired article workflow — Stage D is a
deterministic CLI invocation (npm run generate-article), not an agent
prose pass.

ARTICLE_TYPE_SLUG |
breaking |
| Family | Unified (Stages A → B → C → D → E in one workflow) |
| Data window | today (last 12 h); fallback one-week |
| Primary feeds | get_adopted_texts_feed, get_events_feed, get_procedures_feed, get_meps_feed with timeframe: "today"; fall back to "one-week" per endpoint if empty/error. |
| Stage A budget | ≤ 4–5 min (per article-horizons.ts) |
| Stage B budget (2 passes) | 22–28 min — HARD CEILING per article-horizons.ts (do not exceed the per-slug ceiling on Stage B even if Pass 2 still has shallow sections; force GATE_RESULT=ANALYSIS_ONLY instead) |
| Stage C budget (gate + optional Pass 3) | ≤ 4 min |
| Stage D budget | ≤ 2 min (deterministic) |
| Stage E budget (commit + single PR) | ≤ 2 min |
| Stage C exit tripwire | minute 36 elapsed (long-horizon prospective: 39; long-horizon retrospective: 38; electoral: 42) — the decision threshold for forcing GATE_RESULT=ANALYSIS_ONLY and (if late) skipping Stage D so the run can still reach the PR call. Per-slug stage ceilings live in src/config/article-horizons.ts; the tripwire backstops any per-stage overrun. Note: Stage D + E run after this tripwire, between the Stage C exit and the PR-call deadline. |
| Hard PR-call deadline | minute ≤ 45 elapsed (target ≤ 42) — deadline for the single safe-outputs create_pull_request call. Backed by engine.mcp.session-timeout: 65m (gh-aw v0.71.3+) which keeps the safeoutputs HTTP session alive for the full 60-min cap. |
| Hard safety cap | 60-min timeout-minutes |
| PR rule | Exactly one [news] PR at end of run |
⏱️ MCP session lifetime (gh-aw v0.71.3+): This workflow sets
engine.mcp.session-timeout: 65m, which keeps the safeoutputs HTTP session onlocalhost:3001alive for 65 minutes — outlasting the 60-mintimeout-minutescap with a 5-min margin. The previous ~28–30 min hard TTL (which capped the old 45-min schedule and bit run #24963129839) no longer applies. The Stage C exit tripwire still fires at the slug-specific elapsed-minute mark insrc/config/article-horizons.tsso Stage D + E retain enough budget to land the single PR call by minute ≤ 45. See09-troubleshooting.md§5 for the historical context.
- Long-horizon stage helpers: see
.github/prompts/10-horizon-stage-helpers.mdfor the registry-driven Stage-A/B/C contract. - Every document/event reference MUST include its publish date. Items without a recent date are not breaking news.
- If no new developments exist today, still ship a PR marked
gateResult=ANALYSIS_ONLYinmanifest.json.history[]— the deterministic renderer will then emit a noop placeholder rather than a full article. - Include
intelligence/coalition-dynamics.mdandintelligence/mcp-reliability-audit.mdin the analysis set (perreference-quality-thresholds.json).

Stage A · Data Collection (per-slug budget — see article-horizons.ts)
→ Stage B · Analysis (Pass 1 + Pass 2, hard ceiling per article-horizons.ts)
→ Stage C · Completeness Gate (≤ 4 min) — BLOCKING; elapsed-time
tripwire (per-slug) forces ANALYSIS_ONLY before Stage D
→ Stage D · Article Render (npm run generate-article — deterministic, ≤ 2 min)
→ Stage E · Single PR (≤ 2 min — by minute ≤ 45; exactly once)
Per-slug minute boundaries are derived from
src/config/article-horizons.ts(stageBudgets) and surfaced in the Workflow-Parameters table above. The full table of per-family tripwires lives in.github/prompts/02-analysis-protocol.md§3.
Run the canonical gateway block from 08-infrastructure.md §4. Source
scripts/mcp-setup.sh, then scripts/wb-mcp-probe.sh and
scripts/imf-mcp-probe.sh. Collect EP feed data first; fall back to
direct endpoints on failure. Deep-fetch up to 10 procedures / voting
records / meeting decisions into ${ANALYSIS_DIR}/data/. Target ≤ 4 min.
If ${ANALYSIS_DIR}/manifest.json already exists with non-empty history[]
from a prior run today, the re-run is never a no-op — apply the re-run
improve/extend rule from 02-analysis-protocol.md:
- Always run
npm run prior-run-diff -- "${ANALYSIS_DIR}"(always-on; the helper no longer readsENABLE_PRIOR_RUN_MERGE). Persist the plan to${ANALYSIS_DIR}/runs/prior-run-diff.json. The plan classifies every prior artifact as a must-extend target (carryForward[]) withpriorLines+extendFloorexposed, or a below-floor target (rewrite[]). - For every
carryForward[]entry, extend & deepen the artifact — skip-writes are forbidden. Each must reach itsextendFloor(= max(threshold floor, priorLines + 20)) AND add at least one of: a new section, ≥3 new evidence citations, or ≥1 new chart/diagram. Log one line per extended artifact:[EXTEND-FROM-PRIOR: <relativePath> prior=<priorLines>L → new=<newLines>L (+<delta>)]. - For every
rewrite[]entry, write a stronger version (overwriting the prior file) sized to the catalog floor. - Append a new entry to
manifest.json.history[](written automatically byrunAnalysisStageviamergeManifestHistory). On a re-run,manifest.pass2.rewriteCountMUST equal the total artifact count —rewriteCount === 0on a re-run is a Stage-C hard RED.
Pass 1 (~60% of analysis time): Apply every methodology and template
(analysis/methodologies/ + analysis/templates/) to every downloaded
data file. Write every mandatory artifact. Populate manifest.json with
top-level articleType: breaking and every produced file under files.*.
Pass 2 (~40% of analysis time): Read every file you wrote, end to end.
Expand shallow sections, add evidence citations, add 🟢/🟡/🔴 confidence
labels, add cross-references. No [AI_ANALYSIS_REQUIRED] markers may
remain.
Emit before Stage C:
PREFLIGHT_ATTESTATION: read N/N artifacts from ${ANALYSIS_DIR} (LINES lines, FRAMEWORKS frameworks)
Read every manifest-listed artifact and compare it with reference-quality-thresholds.json, the artifact catalog, and the IMF/SEO rules in prompts 01, 03, and 04. Emit exactly one gate line:
STAGE_C_GATE: GREEN articleType=${ARTICLE_TYPE_SLUG} artifacts=<N> lines=<L> imf=<pass|not_required>
STAGE_C_GATE: ANALYSIS_ONLY articleType=${ARTICLE_TYPE_SLUG} reason="<why no article render>"
STAGE_C_GATE: RED articleType=${ARTICLE_TYPE_SLUG} missing=<N> short=<N> placeholders=<N>
- GREEN → set
GATE_RESULT=GREENand proceed to Stage D. - RED (first) → run Pass 3 on the named artifacts, re-run Stage C.
- RED (second) → set
GATE_RESULT=ANALYSIS_ONLY, skip full article render, and ship analysis-only in the single PR.
⏱️ Elapsed-Time Tripwire: At the top of every Stage C iteration, compute the elapsed minutes (mirror the safe two-step pattern from
news-translate.md— no nested expansions):NOW_EPOCH=$(date -u +%s) ELAPSED_MIN=$(( (NOW_EPOCH - WORKFLOW_START_EPOCH) / 60 ))Look up the slug-specific Stage C exit tripwire in
src/config/article-horizons.ts— short/mid prospective & retrospective slugs trip at minute 36, long-horizon prospective slugs at minute 39, long-horizon retrospective slugs at minute 38, electoral-overlay slugs at minute 42. IfELAPSED_MIN ≥ tripwire, immediately setGATE_RESULT=ANALYSIS_ONLY— even if Stage C has just emitted GREEN. Stage D + E need ≥ 4 min of budget before the PR-call deadline at minute ≤ 45. Emit the gate line as a single unbroken record (note the mandatoryarticleType=field — required by the contract above and byscripts/validate-analysis-completeness.js):STAGE_C_GATE: ANALYSIS_ONLY articleType=${ARTICLE_TYPE_SLUG} reason="elapsed-time tripwire at minute ${ELAPSED_MIN}; reserve remaining budget for Stage D+E PR-call deadline"Then skip Pass 3 and all Stage D render attempts and proceed straight to Stage E. Shipping ANALYSIS_ONLY at the tripwire is strictly better than blowing the 60-min
timeout-minutescap. The 65-minengine.mcp.session-timeout(gh-aw v0.71.3+) keeps the safeoutputs HTTP session alive for the full run, but the workflow still hard-caps at 60 minutes. See09-troubleshooting.md§5 for run #24963129839 (session not foundat minute 29 under the old 45-min schedule) — historical context for the new design.
Agents do not write article prose. Stage D is a deterministic CLI
that aggregates the committed analysis/** artifacts into one canonical
markdown document, then renders it to localized HTML article(s).
source scripts/mcp-setup.sh
export USE_EP_MCP=true
# Deterministic article rendering from the committed analysis artifacts.
# Emits news/<TODAY>-breaking.en.md (canonical aggregated markdown) plus
# news/<TODAY>-breaking-en.html (rendered article). Always
# regenerates article.md + HTML on every run (never no-op): the renderer
# overwrites byte-for-byte from the freshly extended/rewritten Stage-B
# analysis artifacts.
npm run generate-article -- --run "${ANALYSIS_DIR}"The renderer is bounded to ≤ 2 min on a typical run. If the gate result is
ANALYSIS_ONLY, the renderer emits a short placeholder article documenting
the missing artifacts rather than a full prose article.
Emit to stdout immediately before the single PR call:
SINGLE_PR_ATTESTATION: about to emit the only PR of this run at elapsed=<N>m with <X> analysis files + <Y> news files staged (gateResult=<GREEN|ANALYSIS_ONLY>)
Then invoke safeoutputs___create_pull_request exactly once with:
base: "main"head: "news/${TODAY}-breaking-${RUN_ID}"-
title: "[news] breaking — ${TODAY} (run ${RUN_ID})"(append(analysis-only)suffix whenGATE_RESULT=ANALYSIS_ONLY) -
body:summarize the completeness-gate result, list produced analysis artifacts and emitted news files, diff vs. the prior same-day run ifmanifest.json.history[].length > 1. Cite every analysis file the rendered article consumed via the manifest. Do not author article prose in the PR body — that's the renderer's job.
Banned patterns: see
06-pr-and-safe-outputs.md§4. The repo CI lint (scripts/lint-prompts.js) fails the build if any banned pattern appears in this workflow. Never call the single-PR tool more than once per run.
- Never invoke the single-PR tool more than once per run.
- Never author article prose — the deterministic renderer owns Stage D.
Agent edits to
news/<date>-breaking.en.mdafternpm run generate-articleexits are forbidden. - Never edit anything under
news/**outside ofnpm run generate-article. - Never dispatch another workflow except via the
dispatch-workflow:safe output (news-translate, exactly once after merge). - See
