# The edition label is older than the articles under it

Fixed · medium severity · failure · newsroom.sgit.ai

## What we saw

The home page says "Edition of 2026-10-08" above ten articles dated 10 October. Still the case in v0.7.1, above articles from 10 and 11 October.

## Why it matters

A front page that looks three days stale on the day it was published tells a reader the site is not kept.

## The fix

Date the edition from the newest article at build time, or label it as the editor's pick of its date.
