 - Ops compliance is now implemented with dictionary/term CRUD, batch import, publish/rollback, singleton global policy, master switch, manual reviews, records, and stats under `/api/ops/compliance`.
 - Ops-web now has content-safety navigation and pages for global policy, dictionaries/editing, records, stats, manual-review list, and manual-review detail.
 - Per-tenant compliance policy customization was removed before launch: ops-web now only exposes global policy pages/APIs, and `ops.compliance_policies` is an `id=1` global singleton without per-tenant columns.

+## Article Generation Reliability Hardening - 2026-05-05
+- Incident source: article title and outline generation can succeed while article body generation fails because the queued article worker path persists task/article/version/quota state through separate transitions.
+- The production root cause was a Postgres type inference failure in `UpdateGenerationTaskStatus`; the earlier hotfix cast `status` and migrated `generation_tasks.status` to `TEXT`.
+- Remaining reliability gap: body-generation services still ignore the initial `UpdateGenerationTaskStatus(... running ...)` error, and several failure-cleanup paths ignore quota ledger / reservation refund errors. That means a DB error can be present but not promoted with task/article context.
+- Recovery already avoids retrying a running task when the article is already `failed`, but it logs only a narrow message. The worker needs stable structured fields and alert-ready counters around retries/finalization so frontend “失败后不再重试” semantics can be verified from logs and metrics.
+- State consistency checks should flag article-generation anomalies such as completed task without article version/current version, failed article with queued/running task, completed article with non-completed task, and expired running leases.
+- Scheduler DB scanning should stay a bounded safety net, not the primary control loop: defaults are 5-minute interval, 10-second timeout, batch size 100, 24-hour lookback, and partial indexes on active/recent completed generation task candidates.
+- Alerting should be metric-driven: Prometheus rules now cover cleanup failures, task/article/version state anomalies, state-check failures, queue failures, failure spikes, and recovery finalization.
 - Admin-web now has compliance API helpers, an editor-side compliance check drawer with locate/highlight and whitelist actions, and a publish modal that handles pass / needs_ack / block / manual-review flows before creating publish jobs.
 - Desktop publish management now surfaces scheduled-publish compliance recheck blocks through publish job metadata: `publish_job_status`, `compliance_blocked_record_id`, `compliance_blocked_at`, and summarized `compliance_blocked_reason`.
 - Verification passed on 2026-05-05: targeted compliance Go tests, full `go test ./...`, admin-web typecheck/build, ops-web typecheck/build, desktop-client typecheck/build, and `git diff --check`.

+## 2026-05-05T21:20:00+08:00 - Article generation reliability hardening
+
+- Started Phase 44 after the user requested large-company style safeguards: structured logs, verifiable states, no swallowed errors, and automatic alerts.
+- Confirmed the remaining weak points are in article body generation worker paths, not title/outline assist paths:
+  - Initial task `running` updates are ignored in template/custom/imitation generation execution.
+  - Failure cleanup logs status update errors but still swallows quota ledger/refund errors.
+  - Recovery requeue/finalization logs do not carry a consistent event/stage/anomaly schema yet.
+- Scope locked to generation worker/app observability and state checks, avoiding unrelated deployment/compliance dirty files.
+
+## 2026-05-05T23:45:00+08:00 - Article generation reliability verification
+
+- Added structured article-generation task log context and counters for transitions, failures, cleanup failures, queue failures, recovery actions, state anomalies, and state-check failures.
+- Added bounded scheduler-owned generation state consistency checks with configurable interval/timeout/batch/lookback and partial DB indexes; this is a low-frequency safety net, not a full-table polling loop.
+- Added internal JSON/Prometheus metrics endpoints and Prometheus alert rules for cleanup failures, state anomalies, state-check failures, queue failures, failure spikes, and recovery finalization.
+- Fixed compile/test follow-ups: matched the state-check DB interface to `pgx.Rows` and made the Prometheus label assertion order-independent.
+- Verification passed:
+  - `cd server && go test ./internal/shared/config ./internal/tenant/app ./internal/tenant/transport ./internal/worker/generate ./cmd/scheduler ./cmd/worker-generate`
+  - `cd server && go test ./...`

 Continue the desktop AI monitoring implementation by first adding a client-side local scheduler with durable queueing and adaptive execution policy, then adding a reusable hidden Playwright CDP execution layer that attaches to Electron Chromium and reuses existing account partitions.

+- [x] Add structured generation task logs with stable IDs, stages, transitions, retry/recovery context, and error causes

 ## Key Questions
 1. How should the desktop client defer and locally optimize monitor-task execution without violating one-task-per-platform serialism?
 2. What is the smallest durable local cache that allows same-day resume while safely dropping stale next-day monitor tasks?
@@ -356,6 +368,8 @@ Phase 41
 | Start k3s with a self-contained stack that mirrors the existing compose deployment | The repo already has working Docker images and compose topology; k3s should first preserve service names and runtime assumptions before introducing managed cloud replacements |
 | Publish deployable images only from frontend/backend CI | Deployment config has no runtime image ownership; `deploy-config-ci` stays a validation workflow while frontend/backend CI publish Gitea Registry images tagged by commit8 |
 | Use commit hash first 8 chars as the canonical deploy image tag | CD/offline packaging can compare the pushed commit to Registry tags and fail fast when CI has not produced the matching image |
+| Treat article generation DB state scanning as a low-frequency safety net | Main reliability comes from write-path validation, structured errors, metrics, and alerts; the scheduler check is bounded by interval, timeout, lookback, batch size, and partial indexes so it does not become a DB polling dependency |
+| Expose article generation alert signals through Prometheus metrics and rules | Cleanup failures, state anomalies, state-check failures, queue failures, failure spikes, and recovery finalization should page operators without relying on humans tailing logs |
