# The version number is shown three times on the first screen

Open · low severity · failure · newsroom.sgit.ai

## What we saw

v0.7.1 appears three times on the desktop first screen: in the agent strip, the metadata lines and the footer badge.

## Why it matters

Engineering detail repeated where a reader looks first; it reads as a demo, not a publication.

## The fix

One version, in the workshop and the page foot, linked to what changed. None on the reader's first screen.

## The record

| | |
| --- | --- |
| **Status** | Open |
| **Severity** | Low |
| **Kind** | Failure: works against the reader |
| **Product** | [newsroom.sgit.ai](/findings/?product=newsroom.sgit.ai), site |
| **Where** | <https://newsroom.sgit.ai/> |
| **Problems** | [Builder chrome](/findings/?problem=builder-chrome) |
| **Visibility** | [Subtle](/findings/?visibility=subtle): felt more than seen: it costs attention or trust, but is not noticed as a bug |
| **Recommendation** | [Move it to the workshop](/findings/?recommendation=move-to-the-workshop): take builder things off reader pages, one link away |
| **Area** | [First visit](/findings/?area=first-visit) |
| **Breaks** | [The publication is not the workshop](/principles/index.md#publication-not-workshop) |

| **Source** | [Review: since v0.6.4](/reviews/newsroom-2026-10-11.md#since-v064-what-v071-changed) |
| **Prototype** | [Front page & personas](/lab/index.md#newsroom-proto-front), route `front`, in three directions |
