2026-06-22: surfaced by S4 covering the EFK federal cyber-governance audit (report 25152) with more depth than Netzwoche; CH trade press tracking BACS/BABS/federal IT-security developments. Candidate; promote to active after 3 runs with content contribution. | 2026-07-05 admiralty audit: C (MEDIUM->C), CH trade press, re-reporting. Keep candidate: live/relevant CH-nexus but re-reporting and single contribution so far. | 2026-07-16: corroborated the IWB Basel third-party-provider breach entry (2nd tracked contribution), CH home-region CI incident. | 2026-07-26 weekly quality audit: promoted candidate → active on the documented lifecycle bar (cited by published entries from 5 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). | 2026-08-12: recorded as the designated fallback for inside-it.ch article bodies, which 403 on every transport this pipeline has (direct WebFetch, bridge, jina reader) while the Inside IT RSS listing stays readable. Same publisher group; republishes the same Swiss stories and was reachable by plain WebFetch. Note for future runs: this record is already status=active; S2 proposed it as a new candidate this run without checking, so no candidate was added. | 2026-08-17: health sweep flagged needs-demote after an 11.4 s timeout, and a serial bridge re-probe returned only a 1.3 KB stub. Not a death signal, a research pass fetched the site listing and drilled a 2026-08-16 article body in full by plain WebFetch the same run. The bridge transport is what fails on this host, and fetch_method is already webfetch, which works. NOT demoted. | 2026-10-16 S2: `WebFetch` of the listing gives 14 dated items with hrefs and `extract` reads each article; its dated update blocks carry the developments (used for the PK Softech police warning). | 2026-10-17 (2026-10-17T0256Z-intel): S2: extract of an article URL returned an ad-tracker page; the listing page still gives dated headlines. | 2026-10-18 (S4): `extract` of the homepage is served through the metered reader; WebFetch lists 14 dated items and is the working recipe. | 2026-10-21 (2026-10-21T0256Z-intel, S4): `feed https://www.swisscybersecurity.net/rss` returns 404 on the direct transport and the reader returns no items; no working feed path found. | 2026-10-26 (S2): `extract https://www.swisscybersecurity.net/` returns the home page with dated headlines and `url --direct` of it carries `/news/YYYY-MM-DD/<slug>` hrefs; `extract` of each article reads cleanly. This replaces the earlier no-feed note. | 2026-10-27 (S2): `url --direct` of the site or tag page returns server-rendered HTML whose article hrefs follow /news/YYYY-MM-DD/<slug>; list the newest by regex, then `extract` per article.
