Developer builds fact-check site where unsourced claims break the build
A developer running a fact-check site for an unreleased game built a schema-enforced system in Astro where every claim must carry at least one cited source or the build fails entirely. Using Zod validation on YAML content files, sources are required at the per-section level rather than per page, preventing mixed-confidence claims from sharing a single source list. Each claim also carries a required status enum — such as 'confirmed', 'rumor', or 'debunked' — displayed as a badge next to the content so readers see confidence levels inline. The site supports seven languages, with navigation and sitemaps automatically gating on locales that actually have content, preventing incomplete translations from appearing to users. A CI script additionally validates hreflang alternate links against the built HTML output, failing the build if any declared translation does not exist.
