Problem:
- Blog publishing has governance checks (inst_016/017/018/079)
- Media responses and templates had NO checks
- Inconsistent: same risks, different enforcement
Solution - Unified Framework Enforcement:
1. Created ContentGovernanceChecker.service.js (shared service)
2. Enforced in media responses (blocks at API level)
3. Enforced in response templates (scans on create)
4. Scanner for existing templates
Impact:
✅ Blog posts: Framework checks (existing)
✅ Media inquiry responses: Framework checks (NEW)
✅ Response templates: Framework checks (NEW)
✅ Future: Newsletter content ready for checks
Files Changed:
1. src/services/ContentGovernanceChecker.service.js (NEW)
- Unified content scanner for all external communications
- Checks: inst_016 (stats), inst_017 (guarantees), inst_018 (claims), inst_079 (dark patterns)
- Returns detailed violation reports with context
2. src/controllers/media.controller.js
- Added governance check in respondToInquiry()
- Blocks responses with violations (400 error)
- Logs violations with media outlet context
3. src/models/ResponseTemplate.model.js
- Added governance check in create()
- Stores check results in template record
- Prevents violating templates from being created
4. scripts/scan-response-templates.js (NEW)
- Scans all existing templates for violations
- Displays detailed violation reports
- --fix flag to mark violating templates as inactive
Testing:
✅ ContentGovernanceChecker: All pattern tests pass
✅ Clean content: Passes validation
✅ Fabricated stats: Detected (inst_016)
✅ Absolute guarantees: Detected (inst_017)
✅ Dark patterns: Detected (inst_079)
✅ Template scanner: Works (0 templates in DB)
Enforcement Points:
- Blog posts: publishPost() → blocked at API
- Media responses: respondToInquiry() → blocked at API
- Templates: create() → checked before insertion
- Newsletter: ready for future implementation
Architectural Consistency:
If blog needs governance, ALL external communications need governance.
