The `processed_by` field tracks who extracted, not who archived. +- **When to archive:** Archive at ingestion time, before extraction begins. Set `status: unprocessed`. +- **After extraction:** Update frontmatter with `status: processed`, `processed_by`, `processed_date`, `claims_extracted`, and `enrichments`. +- **Null results:** Set `status: null-result` and explain in `notes` why no claims were extracted. Null results are valuable — they prevent duplicate work. +- **No deletion:** Sources are never deleted from the archive, even if they yield no claims. + +## Migration + +Existing archive files use inconsistent frontmatter (`type: archive`, `type: evidence`, `type: newsletter`, etc.). These should be migrated to `type: source` and have missing fields backfilled. Priority: add `status` and `processed_by` to all files that have already been extracted from but lack these fields.
