*
* @description
* **INTELLIGENCE OPERATIVE PERSPECTIVE**
*
* This module orchestrates coordination between three independent news generation
* workflows operating on different schedules, preventing wasted computational
* resources on duplicate article generation and maintaining editorial consistency.
* In intelligence operations, workflow state management prevents information
* redundancy and ensures efficient use of computational and editorial resources.
*
* **WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE:**
* The platform operates three independent content generation workflows:
*
* 1. **Realtime Monitor (news-realtime-monitor.md)**
* Schedule: 2x daily (morning + afternoon)
* Content: Event-driven breaking news, voting updates, crisis response
* Intelligence value: Rapid notification of parliamentary surprises
* Latency: Real-time (5-15 minute response to events)
*
* 2. **Evening Analysis (news-evening-analysis.md)**
* Schedule: Daily at 17:00 (5 PM Swedish time)
* Content: Deep analytical synthesis, international context, forward assessment
* Intelligence value: End-of-day intelligence briefing format
* Latency: Structured analysis (1-2 hour research + writing)
*
* 3. **Article Generators (news-article-generator.md)**
* Schedule: Variable (triggered by content calendar or on-demand)
* Content: Committee reports, motions, propositions, week-ahead
* Intelligence value: Systematic coverage of all parliamentary products
* Latency: Scheduled batch processing (hourly to daily)
*
* **DEDUPLICATION FRAMEWORK:**
* The coordinator prevents duplicate article generation using similarity analysis:
*
* - **Similarity Threshold: 70%**
* Computes Levenshtein distance on article titles and keyword sets
* Articles >70% similar are considered duplicates
* Prevents wasted generation of already-covered topics
*
* - **Time-Window Filtering: 6 hours**
* Checks if similar article was generated in last 6 hours
* Allows coverage of same topic if sufficient time has passed
* Prevents rapid-fire duplicates while allowing topic revisits
*
* - **Topic-Based Tracking**
* Logs article topics (votes, bills, committees, etc.)
* Enables intelligent filtering at generation time
* Supports trending topic analysis
*
* **MCP QUERY CACHING:**
* To avoid redundant API calls to riksdag-regering MCP platform:
*
* - **Cache TTL: 2 hours**
* Stores results of expensive queries (voting patterns, full-text search)
* Reduces MCP server load during peak hours
* Ensures consistency across multiple workflow invocations
*
* - **Query Fingerprinting**
* Creates deterministic hash of MCP query parameters
* Enables cache hits even if queries structured differently
* Supports query normalization
*
* - **Staleness Handling**
* Fresh data (within 2 hours) used for analysis
* Older data triggers MCP refresh
* Prevents stale intelligence from being published
*
* **STATE MANAGEMENT:**
* Persistent state file (news/metadata/workflow-state.json) tracks:
* - Last workflow execution timestamp and results
* - Recently generated articles (content + timestamp)
* - MCP query cache with expiration times
* - Workflow coordination metadata
* - Running task list for cross-workflow visibility
*
* **OPERATIONAL WORKFLOW:**
* 1. Workflow begins: Load current state from persistent storage
* 2. Query Analysis: Check if similar article was recently generated
* 3. Cache Check: Retrieve cached MCP queries if available (<2hr old)
* 4. Generation: Create new article (or skip if duplicate)
* 5. State Update: Log article and update cache
* 6. Persistence: Write updated state for next workflow invocation
*
* **INCIDENT SCENARIOS:**
* - **Double-Generation**: Realtime Monitor and Article Generator both cover voting
* Solution: Similarity detection blocks duplicate, tracks in state
*
* - **Stale Analysis**: Evening Analysis uses MCP data from morning
* Solution: 2-hour cache expiration triggers fresh queries
*
* - **Missed Coverage**: Topic isn't covered by any workflow
* Solution: State logs enable gap analysis, manual workflow triggers
*
* - **Cache Corruption**: Stale query results cause analytical errors
* Solution: TTL-based expiration automatically refreshes
*
* **INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS:**
* - Prevents topic redundancy (editorial efficiency)
* - Ensures consistent coverage across workflows
* - Enables gap analysis (which topics are missed?)
* - Supports workflow optimization (timing, triggers)
* - Provides audit trail for editorial decisions
*
* **PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION:**
* - MCP cache reduces API calls by estimated 60-70%
* - Reduces computational load on MCP platform during peaks
* - Faster generation cycles (cache lookups faster than API calls)
* - Enables more frequent workflow execution
*
* **FAILURE MODES & RECOVERY:**
* - State file corruption: Graceful fallback to generation without deduplication
* - Cache miss during load: Automatic MCP refresh triggered
* - Timestamp drift: UTC normalization prevents timezone confusion
* - Concurrent workflow execution: Lock-based synchronization
*
* **SCALABILITY CONSIDERATIONS:**
* - State file size grows ~50KB per month (manageable)
* - Cache memory: ~5MB typical, scales with coverage breadth
* - Similarity computation: O(n) in articles, automated pruning at 180 days
* - MCP query cache: Automatic cleanup of expired entries
*
* **GDPR COMPLIANCE:**
* - Member mentions in articles tracked in state
* - Data retention policies enforced (180-day pruning)
* - Audit trail supports member rights requests
* - No personal data stored in cache beyond article references
*
* @osint Workflow Intelligence Analysis
* - Tracks which topics get covered and when
* - Identifies coordination patterns across workflows
* - Enables predictive analysis of future coverage
* - Supports investigation of coordination anomalies
*
* @risk Deduplication Accuracy
* - 70% similarity threshold prevents false positives
* - Enables legitimate retelling of same story (new angle)
* - Detects coordinated coverage (unusual pattern)
* - Monitors for suspicious generation patterns
*
* @gdpr Data Retention & Cleanup
* - Automatic pruning of state after 180 days
* - Member data retention tied to article dates
* - Supports right-to-be-forgotten implementations
* - Audit logging for regulatory compliance
*
* @security State Integrity
* - File permissions protect state from unauthorized modification
* - Checksums validate cache data integrity
* - Atomic writes prevent partial state corruption
* - Versioning enables rollback if needed
