Better a visible skip than a stale post.

01

The rules of a clean skip

An occurrence more than fifteen minutes past its window becomes skipped_missed_window unless a provider publish was already in flight. Skipped slots explain themselves in history, spend no credits, and never shift the underlying cadence.

• No publishing after a revoked connection
• No publishing content that failed validation
• No firing a burst after downtime catches up
• No silently swapping destinations to rescue a slot

02

Why audiences notice

Feeds reward presence, not volume spikes. A steady rhythm with occasional honest gaps reads as reliability; a 2 AM apology-purge reads as malfunction.
