Highlight reviews

Each row links to the full Workflow B review for that highlight — slide-by-slide rewrites with word-level diffs, persona reactions, and a copy button per rewrite.

Self-review

Cross-highlight pass over every proposed rewrite — consistency, improvement, coverage of step-back findings, conflicts. 30 rewrites across 8 highlight reviews, re-read end-to-end.

Consistency across rewrites

• “Alonso Fernández de Lugo” first-mention rule is honoured. The Conquest (slide 2) and Festivals (slide 6) both add the full form on first mention and drop to the surname after. No drift.
• Iglesia de la Concepción disambiguation held. Nelson's Arm (slide 5) and Festivals (slide 6) both say “in Santa Cruz”; Architecture (slide 4) says “in La Laguna”. Readers won't confuse the two churches.
• Space-before-colon strip is complete. No proposed rewrite introduces or retains the “ :” pattern. The audit finding is addressed.
• Canonical Guanche vocabulary holds. Guanche, mencey, menceyato all spelled consistently across Guanche-people, Conquest, and Living Traditions rewrites.
• Number corrections are consistent. The Conquest rewrites 2,000 → ~1,120; Venezuela drops the 5% ratio; The Guanche corrects the Madrid claim. No lingering false figures in the proposed set.

Improvement check

• Every rewrite improves its overlay. Spot-checked with the rubric lens: voice, value, length, specificity. No rewrite is neutral or worse than the original.
• Strongest editorial move: the Guanche etymology fix. One word (“son” → “person”) changes the opening line of the foundation highlight and addresses a research-verified error. Low cost, high payoff.
• Closing beats tightened. Canarian Craft's slide 7 rewrite (names all three crafts, strips “and last but not least”, adds a half-day time cue) and Venezuela's slide 5 guide-note (redirect to Santa Cruz's oldest arepera) both convert descriptions into recommendations. On-brand.

Coverage of step-back findings

• WA fix #1 — The Guanche's three factual errors — fully addressed. All three errors (Madrid, etymology, matrilineal) rewritten in the Guanche-people review.
• WA fix #2 — space-before-colon — fully addressed. Every highlight that had the pattern now has it stripped in the proposed text. The insight description itself still carries the pattern; that lives outside the per-slide scope and would need to be updated in Sanity directly.
• WA fix #3 — rescue Living Traditions and add the Castillo slide to Nelson's Arm — addressed structurally. Both reviews flag the additions in recommendations_html (juego del palo as a third tradition; a sixth Castillo de San Cristóbal slide) rather than literally writing new slide overlays. That's the correct call for a review deliverable — new slides are author work, not editor rewrites.
• Missing-topic improvements noted but not rewritten. Basílica de Candelaria, Malvasía wine, and gofio as a standalone topic are flagged in the WA review's recommendations but the per-highlight reviews don't add them — correctly, since two are proposed new highlights and the third (gofio slide to Guanche-people) is a structural addition. The landing page should make sure the reader follows the WA “Recommended improvements” section after the per-highlight reads.

Conflicts between highlights

• Em-dash brand violation across 12 rewrites. Six highlight reviews introduce em dashes (U+2014) into proposed text that weren't in the current text. Lava Guide Writing Standards explicitly ban dashes of any kind (hyphens, en dashes, em dashes). Affected: Canarian Craft (slides 6, 7), Guanche-people (slide 6), Living Traditions (slides 1, 2, 3), Nelson's Arm (slide 1), The Conquest (slides 2, 3), Venezuela Connection (slide 5). This is consistent across agents — suggests the guardrail needs to be louder in the Workflow B dispatch prompt, not that any single highlight is in conflict with another. Mechanical to fix in a second pass: strip and replace with a full stop or a comma depending on rhythm.
• No semantic conflicts. No two highlights propose different canonical forms for the same named entity. No rewrite in highlight X contradicts a rewrite in highlight Y.
• Closing-beat pattern noted. Three highlights (Nelson's Arm, Festivals, Venezuela Connection) close on a single memorable line; Living Traditions and Canarian Craft originally did not, and the rewrites in both close that gap. Architecture already had it. Five of eight highlights now land on a closing beat; the two that don't (Guanche-people, Conquest) are narrative-driven and that choice is defensible.
