Add a Publication Date Check to a Remote Assistant Workflow
One route-level check keeps the visible date, structured data, and campaign record in agreement.

The short answer
A page may show the correct date while its structured data carries yesterday's value. A remote assistant can compare every date surface after deployment and record the result by route.
Check the visible label, time element, datePublished value, open graph publication time, manifest, and family index ordering. Use the canonical production response, not only a local preview.
Do not re-date an older page to satisfy a daily target. If a new route has the wrong date, hold it out of the completed count and send the defect to the repository owner.
Record the check time because caches and later deployments can change what the public page returns.
Test the publication date check on a small batch first. Keep one normal item, one returned item, and one exception in the review sample. Record what changed before expanding the routine.
The assistant can prepare the record and point out gaps. The named manager still decides priorities, unusual customer requests, access changes, payments, policy, and publication.
