## Quality Gates

Each stage requires:
1. Output exists and is non-empty
2. Duration within target ±10%
3. No errors in logs
4. Manual approval for final publish

## Failure Recovery

If stage fails:
1. Log error details
2. Retry with adjusted parameters (max 3)
3. If still failing: alert human, pause pipeline
4. Resume from failed stage on next run

## Safety

Creative pipeline uses existing personas with their safety constraints:
- All outputs saved locally first
- No auto-publish to external platforms
- Final approval gate before distribution
