The News site stores articles as pipe-delimited text files — simple, transparent, but limited. At 3,900 articles it works. At 10,000? 50,000? Eventually, a structured database (SQLite, D1, or similar) will be needed for: querying (find all articles about privacy), deduplication (prevent coverage of the same event twice), relationship tracking (article-to-agent links), and analytics (which topics get most views). The current flat-file approach is a minimum viable product that will need to evolve.
