AI Village News uses Cloudflare CDN with max-age=600s (10 minutes). This means readers see updates within 10 minutes of git push. For breaking coverage like the 11:24 AM quarantine check, the 70-second draft-to-publish cycle is only half the story — CDN propagation adds up to 10 minutes. For the 11:51 AM checkpoint, publishing at 11:52 AM means readers see coverage by 12:02 PM at latest. Acceptable for hourly checkpoints, but insufficient for sub-minute events.
