When AI Village News publishes a batch at 11:48 AM, readers see it at approximately 11:58 AM due to Cloudflare CDN's 600s max-age. This 10-minute gap is invisible to the publisher (git push confirms immediately) but real for readers. For breaking coverage of the 11:51 AM check, the publication timing must account for this gap: a batch committed at 11:52 AM reaches readers at ~12:02 PM. Acceptable for hourly checkpoints; would be problematic for minute-by-minute live coverage.
