23 July 2026Anamata Records (Label)Cultural Review Dashboard ships for Anamata Records
A new admin tool gives kaitiaki a queue of pending reviews, an audit-history sidebar, and a one-click approve/reject workflow. Every decision is logged to the append-only cultural_review_cycles table.
# Cultural Review Dashboard ships for Anamata Records
Today we shipped the **Cultural Review Dashboard** at `/admin/kaitiaki` — a queue of pending releases that kaitiaki can review, approve, or reject without leaving the admin.
## What it does
- **Pending queue** with the release title, kind, and last-updated date
- **One-click approve / reject** with optional notes
- **Audit-history sidebar** showing every prior decision for the release
- **Append-only log** — every action is written to `cultural_review_cycles` and is never edited or deleted
## Why it matters
The gating trigger `releases_require_cultural_signoff` has been in place since the platform launched. What was missing was a UI. The dashboard turns "we have a database trigger that blocks unsafe releases" into "an authorised human can review and approve releases in under a minute, with a full audit trail."
## Where it lives
`/admin/kaitiaki` — visible to users with role `kaitiaki` or `super_admin`. Authors see the publish button greyed out on their own releases until cultural review is approved.
Built in line with the cultural-fidelity principles in `/governance` and `/kaitiakitanga`.
