- CALIBRATION_GOLD_STANDARD now covers two validated styles: A (structured) and B (prose)
- Style B: no headers, no bullets, 1-3 sentence paragraphs, reframe ending
- STEP8_KILL_AI_TONE: prose conversion option for over-structured articles
- STEP4_MASTER_DRAFT: explicit style choice instruction (A vs B based on angle)
- Gold standard includes exact prose rhythm patterns from 10/10 human-reviewed article
- Wrong patterns expanded: symmetric sections, checklist endings, transition clichés
- POST /api/blog/:id/regenerate — re-runs full 10-step LLM pipeline on existing draft
- Regenerate button visible when quality_issues present or status=review
- SEO keywords now displayed as clickable #hashtags (copy-to-clipboard)
- fo-blog-pipeline: added PoE misuse, DR4 mislabeling, ZR/DR4 conflation as hard QA fails
- fo-blog-pipeline: 14 hard rules in system prompt (was 10)
- fo-blog-pipeline: CALIBRATION_GOLD_STANDARD + withCalibration() from 10/10 human review
- System prompt now includes gold standard example on every pipeline run
Hot Topics:
- Dynamic topics from /api/hot-topics loaded in Blog Engine tab
- 7 data sources (prices, competitors, hype cycle, news, conferences, research, evergreen)
- Urgency badges: BREAKING (red), HOT (orange), TRENDING (yellow), EMERGING (green)
Pipeline Lock:
- Only 1 generation at a time, 'Pipeline Busy' toast on double-click
- Progress bar with step names (external hot-topics.js, no inline hacks)
Blog Delete:
- DELETE /api/blog/:id endpoint
- Delete button (✕) on each blog in list
- 'Delete All Templates' button to clean up test drafts
Fix: dashboard JS extracted to external hot-topics.js to avoid sed quote hell
Hot Topics Engine (GET /api/hot-topics):
- 7 data sources: price movements, competitor alerts, hype cycle transitions,
news articles, conference calendar, research trends, evergreen topics
- Auto-discovers BREAKING/HOT/TRENDING/EMERGING topics
- Dashboard loads topics dynamically with urgency badges and source labels
- Click any topic → generates blog with that angle
Pipeline Lock (critical UX fix):
- Only 1 blog generation at a time (blogPipelineRunning flag)
- 'Pipeline Busy' toast if user clicks while generating
- Lock released on completion, timeout, or error
Dashboard:
- Static 3 cards replaced with dynamic hot topics grid
- 'Refresh Topics' button
- Topics show urgency color (red=breaking, orange=hot, yellow=trending, green=emerging)
- Auto-loads when Blog Engine tab opens
When you click Generate:
- Dark overlay with orange progress bar shows pipeline status
- Live step counter: 'Step 3/10: Outline Generation — decision-driven structure'
- Percentage updates every 15 seconds via API polling
- When done: shows word count + QA score, auto-opens the article
- No more silent template dump — user sees the entire pipeline working
Blog engine was falling back to template because qwen2.5:14b is on Mac Studio (.213),
not on Erik (localhost). Fixed ecosystem.config.js to use 192.168.178.213:11434.
This was the root cause why the 10-step pipeline never executed.
System prompt: 10 HARD RULES (non-negotiable, article fails QA without them)
- Mandatory WHAT BREAKS IN PRODUCTION section (2+ specific failures with symptoms/cause/fix)
- Mandatory HIDDEN COSTS section (cleaning, troubleshooting time, cabling redesign, training)
- Mandatory WHEN NOT TO USE section for every recommendation
- Absolute statement rule: NEVER without conditions/context
- Cabling reality: MPO polarity, SR4→DR4 migration, cleaning requirements
- Brutal hook requirement: not 'If you're still...' but 'You're about to sign a PO. Stop.'
- Minimum 2500 words (was 2000)
Step 5 (Reality Injection): Now checks for ALL mandatory sections and adds if missing
Step 9 (QA Check): Hard fail checks — article is NOT publishable without production failures + hidden costs

Update REGIONAL_LAGS with data from LightCounting, vendor earnings,
OFC market sessions, and Chinese IPO prospectuses. Add price index
per region and segment mix (hyperscaler/telco/enterprise) for
more accurate regional revenue modeling.
findTechnology used loose includes() matching — '1.6T OSFP-XD' matched
'1G SFP' first because query contained '1'. Now matches exact name first,
then by speed prefix with proper unit parsing (G/T).
