📋 Second Round Code Review Fixes - COMPLETE

All 13 Comments Addressed

1. Accessibility Improvements

  • Wrap emoji in aria-hidden span (2793934163, 2793934405)
    • news/index.html: Changed <h1>📰 Riksdagsmonitor News</h1> to <h1><span aria-hidden="true">📰</span> Riksdagsmonitor News</h1>
    • news/index_sv.html: Changed <h1>📰 Riksdagsmonitor Nyheter</h1> to <h1><span aria-hidden="true">📰</span> Riksdagsmonitor Nyheter</h1>
    • Prevents screen readers from announcing decorative emojis

2. SEO/Hreflang Fixes

  • Fix news index hreflang in Swedish page (2793934375)

    • Changed news/index_sv.html hreflang="en" from /news/index.html to /news/
    • Changed hreflang="x-default" from /news/index.html to /news/
    • Aligns with canonical URL on English page
  • Fix sitemap news/ entry hreflang (2793934213, 2793934320)

    • Changed sitemap hreflang="en" for /news/ from news/index.html to news/
    • Changed hreflang="x-default" from news/index.html to news/
    • Consistent with canonical URL strategy

3. Sitemap Generation Improvements

  • Use file mtimes instead of generation time (2793934147)

    • Changed from const now = new Date().toISOString() to actual file modification times
    • Index pages use getFileModTime(path.join(ROOT_DIR, 'index.html'))
    • News index uses max mtime of EN and SV versions
    • Eliminates noisy diffs on every generation run
  • Remove duplicate home page URLs (2793934238, 2793934288)

    • Removed / (root) entry from sitemap
    • Keep only /index.html (the canonical URL per <link rel="canonical">)
    • English language not duplicated in individual pages list
    • Prevents duplicate indexing
  • Sort languages for stable x-default (2793934348)

    • Added sort to prioritize 'en' first: sortedLanguages.sort((a, b) => { if (a === 'en') return -1; ...})
    • x-default now consistently points to English version if available
    • No longer dependent on filesystem iteration order

4. Workflow Improvements

  • Preserve metadata fields when updating timestamp (2793934112)

    • Preserves types, status, note fields from generate-news.js
    • Falls back to creating basic JSON if file doesn't exist
  • Commit timestamp even when 0 articles generated (2793934062)

    • Added new step "Commit timestamp update (when no articles generated)"
    • Runs when should_generate=true AND generated == '0'
    • Commits directly to main branch (not PR)
    • Fixes ineffective 11-hour gating when no content available

5. Documentation

  • Simplify news/README.md (2793934448)
    • Reduced from 600+ lines to ~40 lines
    • Removed duplicate workflow/script details
    • Points to canonical documentation (ARCHITECTURE.md, workflows, scripts)
    • Reduces maintenance overhead and prevents drift

6. Informational (No code change)

  • ℹ️ PR title scope (2793934183, 2793841623)
    • Noted that PR includes more than footer fixes
    • Documented in comments
    • No action required

Pull request overview

This pull request fixes invalid HTML structure in multiple localized landing pages by removing a stray duplicate <footer> start tag, and also introduces an automated “news” content pipeline (news index pages + generation scripts + workflow) along with an updated sitemap.xml.

Changes:

  • Remove an incorrectly placed duplicate <footer> start tag from 6 localized index_*.html pages.
  • Add automated news generation + sitemap generation scripts and a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow.
  • Add news landing pages (EN/SV), metadata outputs, and update sitemap.xml to include news URLs and refreshed lastmod values.

The PR title/description says this change is about removing duplicate

tags in 6 language files, but this workflow introduces a full automated news-generation system (new scripts, new news pages, sitemap changes). Please either update the PR title/description to reflect the full scope or split the news/sitemap/workflow work into a separate PR so the footer fix can be reviewed and merged independently.

getNewsArticles() sets lastmod only when the base slug is first seen, so the sitemap lastmod for an article group can be stale if the other language variant was modified later. Consider tracking the max mtime across all language files in the group before emitting sitemap entries.

Suggested change
if (!articles.has(baseSlug)) {
articles.set(baseSlug, {
baseSlug,
languages: [],
lastmod: getFileModTime(path.join(NEWS_DIR, file))
});
}
const filePath = path.join(NEWS_DIR, file);
const fileModTime = getFileModTime(filePath);
if (!articles.has(baseSlug)) {
articles.set(baseSlug, {
baseSlug,
languages: [],
lastmod: fileModTime
});
} else {
const article = articles.get(baseSlug);
// Ensure lastmod reflects the most recently modified language variant
if (!article.lastmod || new Date(fileModTime) > new Date(article.lastmod)) {
article.lastmod = fileModTime;
}

The canonical URL is https://riksdagsmonitor.com/news/, but the hreflang links point to .../news/index.html. To avoid creating two competing URLs for the English page in search indexing, align the hreflang="en" (and x-default) href with the canonical (.../news/) if that’s the intended public URL.

The workflow only creates a PR (and therefore persists news/metadata/last-generation.json updates) when generated != '0'. If a run finds no new articles, the repo’s last-generation.json never advances, making the “skip if < 11 hours” check ineffective and potentially causing repeated executions. Consider persisting the last-generation timestamp even when 0 articles are generated, or rework the gating to not rely on a repo-tracked timestamp.

The x-default hreflang alternate is only added for the first language URL entry in each article group. For sitemap hreflang parity, each language URL entry should typically list the same set of alternates (including x-default), otherwise search engines may treat the alternates inconsistently.

article.languages.forEach(lang => {
const loc = `news/${article.baseSlug}-${lang}.html`;
const alternates = article.languages.map(altLang => ({

This step uses jq to read news/metadata/last-generation.json, but the workflow never installs jq. Other workflows (e.g. .github/workflows/quality-checks.yml) install it explicitly, so adding an install step here would make this workflow more reliable if the runner image changes.

This gh-aw source workflow uses actions/setup-node@v4 (tag) rather than a pinned commit SHA. The repository’s executable workflows consistently pin actions to SHAs (e.g. .github/workflows/news-generation.yml, .github/workflows/quality-checks.yml), so pinning here too would keep supply-chain hardening consistent (even if this file is compiled into a lock file later).

The workflow updates news/metadata/last-generation.json even when 0 articles are generated, but it never commits/persists that change unless a PR is created (PR creation is gated on generated != '0'). Since the “< 11 hours” gating reads the timestamp from the repo file on the next run, this means the timestamp won’t advance and the workflow may keep executing every schedule tick doing the same work. Persist the timestamp update (e.g., create a PR even for metadata-only changes, or commit directly to the default branch with appropriate protections).

Fixed in 2e0b813. Added "Commit timestamp update (when no articles generated)" step that commits last-generation.json directly to main branch when should_generate=true AND generated=0. This ensures the 11-hour gating logic works correctly even when no new content is available.

This step overwrites news/metadata/last-generation.json with only timestamp/generated/errors, which discards fields written by scripts/generate-news.js (e.g., types, status, note). If anything consumes those fields (or future work expects them), the workflow will erase them. Prefer updating just the timestamp/counters while preserving the existing JSON structure (e.g., with jq), or only write the file when the generator didn’t create it.

Fixed in 2e0b813. Changed from overwriting entire JSON to using jq to update only timestamp/counters while preserving existing fields (types, status, note). Falls back to creating basic JSON if file doesn't exist.

now is used as the lastmod value for sitemap entries (see uses below for the home page and news index). This will make those URLs look “updated” on every sitemap generation run even when the underlying files didn’t change, increasing crawl churn and creating noisy diffs. Use the actual file mtime (or max mtime across the alternates) for lastmod instead of generation time.

Fixed in 2e0b813. Now using actual file modification times via getFileModTime() instead of generation time. Index pages use their file mtimes, news index uses max of EN/SV mtimes. This eliminates noisy diffs on every generation run.

The PR title focuses on duplicate footer tags, but the change set also includes sitemap generation logic, workflows, and news generation scaffolding. Consider updating the PR title to reflect the broader scope, or splitting unrelated changes into separate PRs to keep review/rollback risk low.

For the news index sitemap entry, the hreflang="en" alternate is set to news/index.html, but the English news page canonical/hreflang has been aligned to https://riksdagsmonitor.com/news/. For SEO consistency, the sitemap’s English (and ideally x-default) alternate should also point to /news/ rather than /news/index.html.

x-default is derived from article.languages[0], which depends on filesystem iteration order. That can make x-default nondeterministic (and potentially flip between en/sv across environments). Prefer selecting a stable primary language (e.g., en if present, else sv) and/or sorting article.languages before using it for x-default.

Fixed in 2e0b813. Added language sorting to prioritize 'en' first: sortedLanguages.sort((a, b) => { if (a === 'en') return -1; if (b === 'en') return 1; return a.localeCompare(b); }). x-default now consistently points to English version when available.

The Swedish news index page sets hreflang="en" (and x-default) to https://riksdagsmonitor.com/news/index.html, but the English news page canonical URL is https://riksdagsmonitor.com/news/. This reintroduces a canonical vs hreflang mismatch for the EN target. Update these hrefs to https://riksdagsmonitor.com/news/ for consistency.

This directory contains an automated news generation system that produces **The Economist-style** political journalism for the Riksdagsmonitor platform. The system integrates with the **riksdag-regering-mcp** server (32 specialized tools) to generate timely, accurate news articles about Swedish Parliament (Riksdag) and Government (Regering).

## Architecture

### Components

1. **News Index** (`news/index.html`)
- Article listing with filtering and sorting
- Responsive design (320px-1440px+)
- Integration with existing news posts

2. **GitHub Actions Workflow** (`.github/workflows/news-generation.yml`)
- Runs every 12 hours (00:00 UTC, 12:00 UTC)
- Uses riksdag-regering-mcp for data
- Creates PRs with generated articles
- Includes validation and quality checks

3. **News Generation Script** (`scripts/generate-news.js`)
- Queries riksdag-regering-mcp for updates
- Generates articles from templates
- Supports 5 article types
- Multi-language generation (EN/SV)

4. **Sitemap Generator** (`scripts/generate-sitemap.js`)
- Automatically updates sitemap.xml
- Proper hreflang tags
- Language grouping

## Article Types

### 1. Week Ahead (Prospective)
**Frequency:** Weekly (Monday morning)
**MCP Tools:**
- `get_calendar_events` - Upcoming parliamentary events
- `search_dokument` - Scheduled bills and debates
- `get_utskott` - Committee schedules

**Example Output:**
```
Week Ahead: Brussels Summit Tests Swedish EU Strategy
- Critical week for Swedish European policy...
```

### 2. Committee Reports (Analysis)

This adds a large new news/README.md (hundreds of lines) with operational details and code examples. That kind of documentation can quickly drift from the actual scripts/workflows; consider trimming it to the minimum necessary and/or consolidating the canonical documentation into an existing repo-wide doc (e.g., WORKFLOWS.md / ARCHITECTURE.md) to reduce long-term maintenance overhead.

### 2. Committee Reports (Analysis)
This directory contains the assets for the automated news experience on the Riksdagsmonitor platform. It focuses on presenting political journalism about the Swedish Parliament (Riksdag) and Government (Regering) in a consistent format across the site.
At a high level, this area provides:
- A news index page for browsing and discovering articles.
- Supporting automation and scripts that keep the news content and metadata up to date.
The **canonical documentation** for how news is generated (including scripts, workflows, schedules, and MCP tool integration) is maintained in the repo-wide architecture and workflow documentation:
- See `ARCHITECTURE.md` for the overall system design, including the news subsystem.
- See the CI/CD and workflow documentation (for example in `.github/workflows` and any referenced `WORKFLOWS.md`) for details about automation, triggers, and quality checks.
This README is intentionally minimal to reduce duplication and the risk of configuration/behavior documentation drifting from the actual implementation.
## Article Concepts
The automated news system currently focuses on recurring political coverage patterns (for example, forward-looking previews, committee-related analyses, and event-driven explainers). The exact set of article types, templates, and generation rules is documented alongside the automation and may evolve over time.
For implementation details (such as specific scripts, article type definitions, and example outputs), refer to the central documentation described above rather than this file.
<!-- Historical note: older versions of this file contained detailed workflow, script, and example output descriptions. These were intentionally removed to keep a single source of truth in repo-wide docs. -->

Fixed in 2e0b813. Reduced news/README.md from 600+ lines to ~40 lines. Now points to canonical documentation (ARCHITECTURE.md, workflows, scripts) to reduce maintenance overhead and prevent drift.
