Netzwoche (Swiss IT/cybersecurity trade press)
netzwoche · C · active
2026-07-16: added as candidate, served as the primary source for the IWB Basel third-party-provider breach entry (CH home-region CI incident); recurring Swiss trade outlet tracking cantonal/federal cyber incidents. Candidate; promote to active after 3 runs with content contribution. Reliability C (re-reporting CH trade press). | 2026-07-26 weekly quality audit: promoted candidate → active on the documented lifecycle bar (cited by published entries from 3 distinct runs; the bar is 3). The promotion had never been executed because nothing counted contributing runs, the digest now emits sources.promotion_due (tools/run_summary.py). | 2026-08-16: HTTP 503 on the direct transport this run; single-attempt rule applied, not retried. Transient server error, not a recipe defect, no change to fetch_method. | 2026-10-09 (2026-10-09T0255Z-intel): S2 verified the RSS feed https://www.netzwoche.ch/rss.xml (dated items, direct transport); rss_url recorded, fetch_method unchanged pending a second confirming run. Article URLs read with `extract`. | 2026-10-21 (2026-10-21T0256Z-intel, S4): the RSS feed falls back to the metered reader with empty dates; `extract <article URL>` reads cleanly and is the better recipe.
