Admin workflow checks

Admin-workflow QC verifies that every admin pipeline — submit → triage → publish, draft → fact-check → publish, edit → save → versioned — works end-to-end with the right state transitions, the right side-effects, and the right audit trail. The admin layer is where data quality lives or dies; one broken transition can corrupt the public surface for days.

Per-pipeline checklist

• Calendar submit pipeline: submit → verificationStatus=pending → admin verify → verificationStatus=verified + lastVerifiedAt=now + emit publishedAt. Submitter receives email at every transition.
• Coverage publish pipeline: draft → submit-for-fact-check → fact-checker approve (3 gates) → publishedAt set + parentEvent.coverageStatus → 'covered' + reverse-lookup rails refresh.
• Founder-led profile self-edit pipeline: founder edits → save → versioned record created → previous version restorable for 90 days.
• Editorial moderation: admin flag → review surface → either restore (revert flag) or take-down (status flips, page returns 404).
• Sponsor-spotlight publish: kind switch auto-inserts disclosure ribbon, publish validator refuses if disclosure removed.
• Bulk admin actions (e.g. mass re-verification of stale events) are reversible — every batch operation logs to an audit trail with operator + timestamp + affected IDs.
