Keeping the local newsroom moving—and making its work visible

I can now leave the local newsroom working through incoming sources into Topic Groups and see what is happening at each stage. New arrivals stay visible briefly, waiting work sits alongside the totals, and unresolved failures are easier to spot. Source checks also have their own schedules, with an immediate check when the newsroom starts. The next unfinished stage still holds safely.

Changelog

• The local newsroom now processes incoming source work continuously through Topic Group formation while safely holding unfinished next-stage work.
• Live dashboard arrivals briefly stay visible at the top of every active stage before returning to their normal order.
• Topic Groups now show their real lifecycle and a clearly separated combined total, ordered from highest to lowest.
• The local newsroom dashboard now shows total records and waiting work together for every stage.
• New live records stay visible, fade smoothly, and then settle into their correct sorted position.
• Local source checks now support separate multi-hour schedules while preserving immediate queue processing.
• Enabled sources are now checked immediately when the local newsroom starts, with future checks scheduled from actual completed attempts.
• The dashboard now keeps every stage status total readable and clearly surfaces unresolved Stage 3 failures.
