Review the loop

We begin in the backend, create a realistic story, preview the result, find something wrong, and return to edit it. That loop reveals more than reviewing isolated screenshots.

  1. Navigate with a keyboard.
  2. Use an awkwardly long title.
  3. Change publication state.
  4. Inspect every image context.
  5. Confirm the public result and metadata.

The review ends only when recovery is clear: the editor should know how to correct a mistake without wondering which system owns it.
