Blog Genie 3.0 — Addendum A: Pre-Publish Safety Scan

Sep 19, 2026 · @Hemen Parekh

Purpose and scope

Blog Genie 3.0 must never publish text that contains a credential, private personal data or third-party correspondence. This addendum adds the scan that enforces that rule. The scan runs twice: once when an archive post is ingested, and again before every publish.

It applies to every target platform (Blogger, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Personal.ai) and to every autonomy mode. Factual checks and prior-art matching stay in the existing verify stage; this layer sits beside them and does not replace them.

What the scan must catch

The archive holds private correspondence that was later posted publicly, and an agent mining 6,800+ posts will meet it. A 2013 post on the Emails (Others) blog is the worked example: it reproduces a full email chain that includes a login and plaintext password for an ad-network publisher account, several named third parties with their email addresses, and the terms of a revenue-share negotiation.

Four risks follow from that:

• Credentials: passwords, API keys, tokens, login pairs.
• Third-party personal data: email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, ID numbers.
• Third-party correspondence and terms: quoted emails, revenue splits and negotiating positions the other party never agreed to publish.
• Unpublished or confidential material: drafts, unsent letters, internal notes.

Where it sits in the pipeline

Two gates wrap the existing flow: Gate 1 keeps sensitive text out of the corpus, and Gate 2 checks every finished draft before it can leave.

  A[Archive post] --> G1[Gate 1: ingestion scan]

  G1 -->|clean or redacted| B[Corpus + Interest Graph]

  G1 -->|critical| Q[Quarantine list]

  B --> D[Draft]

  D --> V[Verify stage]

  V --> G2[Gate 2: pre-publish scan]

  G2 -->|pass| H[Approval mode]

  G2 -->|block| Q

  H --> P[Publish]

Gate 1 means the drafter never sees quarantined text, so it cannot quote it. Gate 2 catches anything the drafter still produced or pulled in, and scans the final text of each platform version, including titles, links and any text embedded in images. Quarantine only excludes a post from the agent's corpus; it does not touch the original blog post.

Detection rules

Six categories, each with a severity that decides the action in the next section. Deterministic checks run first; the LLM classifier runs only on the categories that need surrounding context.

Category	Examples	Method	Severity
Credentials	Passwords, "User Id / Password" pairs, API keys, tokens	Key-format patterns; a password-like word next to a value; entropy check on long strings	Critical
Financial and ID numbers	Bank or card numbers, PAN, Aadhaar	Format pattern plus checksum (Luhn for cards, Verhoeff for Aadhaar)	Critical
Third-party contact data	Email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses	Patterns plus named-entity recognition, minus an allow-list of the owner's own public contacts	High
Quoted correspondence	"From / To / Sent / Subject" headers, forwarded chains	Header pattern match	High
Third-party commercial terms	Revenue shares, prices, contract terms tied to a named party	LLM classifier reading the surrounding paragraph	Medium
Confidential or unpublished	"Confidential", "do not forward", unsent drafts	Keyword match plus classifier	Medium

Actions by severity

Critical and High findings always stop a publish; only a human can lift a block, and the agent has no way to override one.

Severity	Gate 1 (ingestion)	Gate 2 (pre-publish)
Critical	Quarantine the whole post; keep it out of the index	Block; alert the account owner; no automatic retry
High	Replace each matched span with a placeholder; index the redacted text	Block until a human approves a redacted version
Medium	Index with a flag; the drafter may summarize but not quote	Hold for human review, even in autonomous mode
None	Index normally	Pass

Critical matches come from deterministic checks only, so a credential is never sent to an external model for classification.

Approval and autonomy modes

The scan behaves the same in every mode; only what happens after a pass differs. Critical and High findings never reach an autonomous publish, and Medium findings always go to a human.

Proposed conditions before Blog Genie moves from human approval to full autonomy:

1. The archive sweep (next section) is finished and every Critical and High finding is resolved.
2. The test set in the acceptance criteria passes in full.
3. 100 consecutive posts have been published under human approval, with a spot check of each finding log showing no missed Critical or High item.
4. A single kill switch that pauses all publishing has been tested end to end.

Autonomy is reversible: any missed Critical or High item in production returns the agent to approval mode until the cause is fixed.

Audit log and archive sweep

Every scan writes one log line per finding: post ID, gate, category, severity, action taken, timestamp and the character position of the match. The log never stores the matched text itself, so it cannot become a second copy of a leaked secret.

Before Blog Genie publishes anything, run Gate 1 once over the full archive of 6,800+ posts and produce a report grouped by severity. For each Critical finding the owner decides whether to edit the original post on the source blog. Any credential the sweep finds should be treated as exposed and changed, whether or not the post is edited.

Acceptance criteria

The build is done when a labeled test set passes. Proposed set: the 2013 Emails (Others) post as the first fixture, one synthetic post per category in the detection table, and 20 clean posts to measure false positives.

Test	Pass condition
Critical recall	100% of seeded credentials and ID numbers found
High recall	At least 95% of seeded contact data and quoted headers found
False positives	No more than 2 of the 20 clean posts flagged High or above
Redaction	Redacted output contains none of the matched strings
Log hygiene	No matched secret appears anywhere in the audit log
Bypass	No publish succeeds after a Gate 2 block, in any mode

Open questions

• Who receives Critical alerts, and through which channel?
• Should the source blog posts with Critical findings be edited, or only excluded from the corpus?
• Which of the owner's own public contact details belong on the allow-list?
• Are the autonomy conditions above the right bar, or should they be stricter?
• Should Medium findings about named third parties be blocked outright rather than held for review?
