Bedrock Briefs is starting with the boring part on purpose: a public content model, a review path, and a clear boundary between working drafts and published work.
That foundation matters because publishing systems tend to fail in the same direction. A rough note becomes a page. A category label becomes a strategy. A social draft starts to look finished because the tooling made it easy to ship. The site needs to resist that drift before it adds more automation.
The public promise is simple. Published pieces should have a clear category, useful tags, a source trail, and social copy that a human has reviewed. Draft and review packets can be messy, but they should stay private until the editorial gate says otherwise.
This note is the baseline route for the preview site while the real archive is built. It is intentionally about the workflow itself, not a substitute for reported articles.
