- api() helper now parses JSON body on non-2xx responses so error.suggestion
is available in catch blocks
- runFinder() catch shows 'Switch not found' + suggestion instead of 'Error: HTTP 404'
- finder.ts: normalized search (removes hyphens/spaces) + token-based fallback
so 'sg350-28' → 'SG350-28', 'N9K-C93180' → Nexus 93180, etc.
- CHANGELOG_PENDING.md: 26 entries from v0.1.0 to today in JSON-line format
- GET /api/changelog: parses and serves entries as JSON array
- Overview tab: changelog card with type badges (FEAT/FIX/UI/DATA/AI/INFRA),
dates, show recent/all toggle
- API: also returns comparable_prices from technically equivalent products
(same form_factor + speed_gbps + reach ±25%, different vendor, last 30 days)
- Dashboard: direct prices shown first, then separator + comparable products
- Comparable entries show vendor + exact part number scraped from their site
- Verified badge = real URL + observed within 7 days (strict)
- Temperature Range: COM→'0-70°C (COM)', IND→'-40-85°C (IND)'
- GET /api/transceivers/🆔 returns competitor_prices[] from price_observations
- Detail view: verification summary bar (★ 100% VERIFIED / partial)
- Detail view: Current Prices section with vendor, price, verified badge, date, link
- Detail view: tag tooltips on vendor/category/market_status chips
- List view: new Verified column with 100% stamp or price check
- Optical Budget: TX Power Min/Max labels clarified
DB (017-verification-tags.sql):
- New columns: price_verified, price_verified_eur, price_verified_url, price_verified_at
- New columns: image_verified, details_verified, fully_verified, fully_verified_at
- compute_transceiver_verification(uuid): per-product verification logic
• price_verified: real scraped URL + price > 0 + observed in last 30 days
• image_verified: R2 stored OR image_url from known vendor CDNs (flexoptix.net, fs.com, etc.), no placeholder
• details_verified: product_page_url + all core fields (form_factor, speed, reach, fiber_type, part_number) populated
• fully_verified: all three true simultaneously
- recompute_all_verification(): bulk recompute, returns stats
- Initial run: 3575 price_verified, 1173 image_verified, 1380 details_verified, 258 fully_verified
- Indexes on price_verified, fully_verified for fast filtering
- v_verified_products view
API finder.ts:
- SELECT now includes all verification fields
- Response maps: price_verified, price_verified_eur, price_verified_url, image_verified, details_verified, fully_verified
API health.ts:
- verification block: counts + coverage percentages in /api/health
Dashboard Finder:
- 'Verified Price': green checkmark ✓ next to price, tooltip explains source
- '100% Verified' stamp: dark green gradient badge top of card, card gets green border
- 'price source ↗' link to original scraped URL
- Summary bar: 'X × 100% Verified · Y with verified prices'
gatherBlogData():
- Fetches real prices from price_observations (last 30 days) per product
- Filters transceivers by speed extracted from topic keywords
- Enriches every product with verified_prices array + has_verified_price flag
- Joins DB products with vector search results (DB first — they have real prices)
contextData injection (blog.ts):
- [PRODUCT] lines: exact standard_name, form_factor, speed, reach, connector, dBm specs, Watts
- [VERIFIED PRICE] lines: real EUR/USD price, vendor, observed date, source URL
- [NO VERIFIED PRICE IN DB]: explicit tag — LLM must not invent a number
- [NO PRODUCT DATA AVAILABLE]: fallback when DB returns nothing
fo-blog-pipeline.ts system prompt:
- DATA INTEGRITY RULES block: prices/part numbers/vendors ONLY from context
- Never approximate with ~€350 or 'typically $200-600' for specific products
- Power specs only from [PRODUCT] data or REFERENCE VALUES
STEP4 context instructions:
- Explicit rules on how to use [VERIFIED PRICE] vs [NO VERIFIED PRICE]
- Invented data = HARD FAIL in QA
STEP9 QA — 3 new hard fail checks (30, 31, 32):
- Check 30: invented prices → remove or replace with flexoptix.net reference
- Check 31: invented part numbers → remove, use class name instead
- Check 32: invented vendor names → remove if not in known list
- Expanded research pool to 9 topics (was 3), evergreen to 12 (was 3)
- Conference topics: added Photonics West, CIOE, NFOEC follow-up, year-end review
- Standards topics: 3 rotating variants (IEEE tracker, SFF-8024 registry, OIF CEI-112G)
- seededShuffle(): day-of-year as seed — stable within the day, different every day
- API response adds refreshes_at (next midnight UTC) for frontend countdown
- Dashboard subtitle shows 'rotates daily · next refresh in Xh'
- Hot topic cards now pass full title + angle into generateBlog() correctly
- 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.
- GET /api/datasheets/transceiver/:id — Full datasheet with power budget, pricing, compatibility, HTML export
- GET /api/datasheets/switch/:id — Switch datasheet with compatible transceivers
- GET /api/adoption — Full technology roadmap with maturity indicators
- GET /api/adoption/:technology — Detailed adoption analysis, migration paths, risks, timelines
- All v0.2.0 routes registered in index.ts
Blog draft engine generates structured markdown from all Qdrant
collections (products, news, FAQ, troubleshooting). Supports 4
topic types: hype_cycle, comparison, new_product, tutorial.
- routes/blog.ts: POST /api/blog/generate, GET/PUT endpoints
- ecosystem.config.js: Added tip-scraper PM2 process
- Scraper scheduler (pg-boss) now running on Erik with 8 job queues
- News scraper running every 6 hours on Erik
