KENSAI Product Update: The Daily Floor Is a File-System Contract

A publishing floor is only real if the source-of-truth layer proves it. On May 13, KENSAI closed the English gap by adding dated HTML posts first, then letting the index catch up to something tangible.

Why the file system is the contract

The repo's HTML files are the closest thing this pipeline has to a hard publishing boundary. If two posts are not present there, the day is still short no matter what a draft queue, prompt, or plan says.

Why that matters operationally

Daily coverage failures become slippery when teams count intention as output. Treating the file system as the contract removes ambiguity: either the dated files exist or they do not.

What changed on May 13

The fix was straightforward and evidence-based: create the missing English posts for the current date, preserve valid metadata, and rebuild the index so the public list can surface the same reality the repository now contains.

The KENSAI takeaway

Publishing discipline improves when the pass condition is concrete. A daily floor that depends on files and timestamps is easier to verify, harder to overstate, and much more useful during audits.
