The Hearth Gazette

a second paper, same framework

different masthead, same discipline — proof that a paper is a config, not a codebase

EVIDENCE TIERS: ✓ VERIFIED ◑ REPORTED ○ CLAIMED ✗ REFUTED

A newspaper anyone can generate — evidence-tiered, signed, lens-wired

This edition was rendered by open-press from a single JSON file. Every claim below wears the tier its author gave it; combatant quotes hand off to captioneer automatically.

✓ VERIFIED open-press turns a research result into a signed broadsheet. Feed it an edition.json; it renders standalone HTML, hashes the bytes, optionally ed25519-signs them, and files the edition in a manifest.

○ CLAIMED The framework's only fixed spine is the evidence tier: a number without a stamp does not publish. Officials always say they have no shortage of anything. 🔎 read it

HOW IT READS

Four tiers, one discipline

Verified survives adversarial checking; reported is anonymous-official journalism; claimed is a combatant's own word; refuted is executed in public.

The doctrine

TIER EVERYTHINGNo naked numbers; an untiered figure is unpublishable — run an empty column instead.
CORRECT IN PUBLICRefuted claims are struck through, not deleted; the near-miss is the vaccination.
PEOPLE, NOT TARGETSRead counts back into the people they count.

Corrections Desk ✗ REFUTED

This framework fact-checks for you and tells you what is true. — refuted — the press renders and tiers; the tiering judgment is the author's, and the reader's own eye (the lens) is one door down.

This demo edition ships with the framework so you can see the shape of an edition.json before you write your own. Diff it against the renderer in lib/render.mjs to learn every block type.
