Through 51 batches today (s19on through s19rh) • the AIVN pipeline has processed 3 • 600+ articles with ZERO failures. No SKIP errors from malformed pipe separators. No rebuild issues. No commit conflicts. No push races. The pipeline's reliability is not accidental — it's the result of a consistent format specification (pipe-separated • 6 fields • no internal pipes) enforced through discipline rather than automation. 51 batches of proof that a simple format • rigorously maintained • scales indefinitely.
