fix: industry alerts not posting to Slack channels#643
Merged
Conversation
The `hasAlertedPerspective()` check was blocking articles from being posted to real Slack channels if they had already been posted to website-only channels. The function checked if a perspective was alerted to ANY channel, but the SQL query already handles per-channel deduplication via the NOT EXISTS clause with channel_id filter. Changes: - Remove redundant hasAlertedPerspective() call from processAlerts() - Remove unused hasAlertedPerspective() function - Remove unused getPerspectivesToAlert() function (had same bug) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
hasAlertedPerspective()check was blocking articles that had already been posted to website-only channelshasAlertedPerspective,getPerspectivesToAlert)Root Cause
The
hasAlertedPerspective()function checked if a perspective was alerted to ANY channel, but the intended behavior was per-channel deduplication. This meant if an article was posted to aWEBSITE_ONLY_*channel first, it would never be posted to real Slack channels likeC0A6J6RTTEY(Industry Agentic News).The SQL query in
getNextArticleForChannel()already handles this correctly with:Test plan
