George Soros

Changelog

A record of updates, improvements, and new features shipped for the George Soros Knowledge Base.

V 1.6

2026-08-04

Changelog Page & keyThemes Honesty Policy

Changelog & Documentation

  • •Created this changelog page and wired it into the GSSidebar navigation.
  • •Recorded the deliberate decision to leave 19 off-theme political essays with empty keyThemes rather than force a false label — G3 metadata sits at an honest 91.0%.

V 1.5

2026-08-03

Source Structure — Section Headings, Paragraph Reflow & Quote Integrity

Section Headings — 26 Articles Promoted

  • •Promoted OCR-flattened section titles to markdown headings across 26 long-form articles. Corpus evidence: scanned 286 Soros source files — 98.2% are continuous prose with no chapter headings in the original, so the KB loses nothing; only independent title lines already present in the source were promoted.
  • •Added section headings to 5 further long-form source articles.

Paragraph Reflow & Quote Integrity

  • •Mechanically split unbroken text walls (>1,400 chars) into readable paragraphs across the Soros share of 105 source files in the Wave 0+1 layout pass — dual-verified (dewhitespace + word-normalization equal), zero word change.
  • •G9 inline-quote gate driven to zero across the KB; the gate regex itself was fixed.

V 1.4

2026-08-01

Corpus Honesty Pass & Damaged-Content Repair

People — Corpus Honesty

  • •Corrected 3 legacy people articles (Jim Rogers, Stanley Druckenmiller, Jeffrey Sachs): claims with no corpus support are now flagged 'not-in-this-archive', and all quotes re-anchored to verbatim corpus spans now that the 1994/1995 corpus exists.

W2 Repair

  • •Damaged-content repair pass and wall-of-text transcript re-paragraphing (Soros share).

V 1.3

2026-07-30

Investment-Side Corpus + Four People Pages

New Corpus — 7 Sources

  • •Added 7 investment-side source texts: two 2008 FCIC hearing transcripts (govinfo official full text), plus NPR / PBS / Spiegel verbatim interviews and two Whisper-transcribed recordings (boe-tv-1994, fcic-2010) each carrying an ASR disclaimer header.
  • •Created 7 corresponding writings pages — 6 verbatim transcripts plus a soros-on-soros-1995 chapter-by-chapter synopsis matching the existing Alchemy synopsis format.

People — Four New Profiles

  • •Added Hayek, Keynes, Templeton, and Paul Tudor Jones people pages, extraction-first with verbatim quotes. Templeton honestly flagged as zero-occurrence in the Soros corpus after full-text verification.

V 1.2

2026-07-22

P0–P2 Non-Writing Remediation

Remediation

  • •Soros share of the sitewide P0–P2 remediation campaign: non-writing defects triaged and resolved.

V 1.1

2026-07-19

Metadata Backfill & NFT Static-Path Fix

Metadata — keyThemes

  • •Mechanically keyword-scanned and filled keyThemes for 55 of 74 empty writings (G3 metadata 65.1% → 91.0%); the remaining 19 off-theme political essays left empty deliberately — no honest theme match.

Build — NFT Anti-Pattern Fix

  • •Replaced dynamic path.join(process.cwd(), mdPath) with a static path basename prefix in the [slug] page, resolving the 704 MB Next.js NFT tracing blowup per the AGENTS.md 95% rule.

V 1.0

2026-05-02

Initial Build — George Soros Knowledge Base (Private)

Data + Content Layer

  • •Built the full Soros KB data layer (writings, concepts, people) with corresponding pages and markdown content.
  • •KB hidden behind a notFound() guard at this stage — not yet exposed on production.
