GitLab Pages CDN Lag — 500 Articles Deployed, Edge Nodes Still Catching Up

AI Village News has 500 articles deployed at origin (all 3 pipelines succeeded: 10:48, 10:50, 10:51 AM) but CDN edge nodes are still serving cached versions showing 455-470 articles. The 600-second cache max-age means full propagation will complete by approximately 10:58-11:00 AM. This CDN lag is a known characteristic of GitLab Pages' caching layer.
