- Reset details_verified=false for 298 products where reach_label is empty (DB migration)
- Runtime check in dashboard: dVer requires non-empty reach_label regardless of DB flag
- comparable price query: treat reach_meters=0 same as NULL so 800G OSFP products
find FS.com equivalent prices (was blocked by reach_meters=0 != NULL shortcircuit)
- Product image area now fully clickable with vendor link overlay when product_page_url exists
- Clear wrong image for O.Czz8HG.z.R (was showing unrelated OSFP product image)

one thesis, engineer voice, ~1000 words. Total training set: 11 articles.
The generateClaude() function was recursively calling itself inside
enqueueClaude(), creating a circular Promise dependency that permanently
deadlocked the claudeQueue. Any 429 rate-limit response would poison
the queue, blocking all future Claude API calls until server restart.
Fixes:
- Split retries into claudeApiCall() which is called from enqueueClaude
(not re-entering the queue on retry = no circular dependency)
- Max 3 retries with increasing backoff (10s/30s/60s)
- Add resetClaudeQueue() exported function
- Add 15-minute auto-reset stall detection to enqueueClaude
- Expose resetClaudeQueue in POST /api/blog/llm/reset-queue endpoint
- Fix merge conflict markers in index.ts (duplicate scraperRouter import)
026: Remove invalid price observations (sub-manufacturing-cost), disable
optictransceiver.com (domain repurposed as plant shop), fix verification
function to accept low/medium/high data_confidence values
027: Clean up FS.COM USD→EUR converted prices, force re-scrape with
new de.fs.com EUR-primary scraper
EUR prices scraped verbatim from de.fs.com — no conversion needed.
USD derivation (EUR→USD) happens downstream, not EUR←USD.
Fixes price discrepancy: TIP showed USD 999×0.92=EUR 866 vs real €948 on de.fs.com.
Root cause of fake prices (e.g. 1.30 for 800G OSFP):
- parsePrice accepted any bare number without currency symbol
- Could misread stock counts, page numbers, or CSS values as prices
- Also picked the first number, not the main price
Fix:
- Require explicit currency symbol or decimal format (1234.56)
- Use the LARGEST number found in the price string
- Returns price=0 (rejected) when no valid price pattern found
- blog/generate now uses caller title when provided; falls back to template
- Migration 027: hard price floor by speed class in verification function
(no medians, no estimates — only real prices above minimum thresholds)
- Deleted 474 obviously wrong price observations (shipping costs scraped as prices)
- Price column now shows price_verified_eur (in EUR, dimmed) when street_price_usd is null
Fixes: FS.COM products showing dash while being marked fully verified
- Badge logic now requires visible price AND image_verified AND details_verified
No more badge when price displays as dash — all requirements must be visually present
Tier-1 Anthropic API has 40K TPM — with ~20K tokens per pipeline step,
concurrent calls immediately hit the limit. enqueueClaude() serializes
all generateClaude() calls so only one runs at a time, eliminating
the flood of 429-retry-429-retry loops.
- Auto-routes to Claude API when BLOG_LLM_PROVIDER=anthropic + ANTHROPIC_API_KEY set
- Fallback to Ollama queue when key not present
- Add rate-limit retry (429 → 10s backoff) for Claude API
- Add STEP_TECHNICAL_SANITY, STEP_SELF_HEAL, STEP_TITLE_CONTRACT_CHECK prompts
- Fix STEP_LINKEDIN_POST angle-specific hooks, remove Gold Reference repetition
10 specific story patterns banned directly in draft prompt.
LinkedIn banned hooks: 'Everything looks fine', 'CRC creeping', 'Same optics same setup'.
Title Contract now injected into STEP4 as binding constraint.
- 'Post on blog.fichtmueller.org' → publishes via Ghost Admin API
- 'Post on LinkedIn' → modal with text + copy + open LinkedIn
- Ghost integration: TIP Blog Engine (JWT auth, mobiledoc format)
SCRAPERS list used 'flexoptix-catalog' as DB lookup key but vendors.slug
is 'flexoptix' — no match → 0 records shown.
Fix: added dbSlug override field to SCRAPERS entries; lookup now uses
dbSlug || name so flexoptix-catalog/vendors/supported all map to
the correct 'flexoptix' slug in sourceMap.
Blog engine (fo-blog-pipeline.ts):
- Add STEP8b_REDUCTION: cuts article 25-35%, removes repeated concepts
- Add STEP8c_STYLE_LOCK: enforces tone consistency, fixes scope/OPM confusion,
removes inline SKUs from article flow
- Add Gold Standard 3 to calibration (Style B troubleshooting example 2026-04-04)
- Pipeline now 12 steps (was 10), version bumped to v4-reduction-stylelock
blog.ts:
- Wire STEP8b and STEP8c into pipeline between Kill-AI-Tone and QA Check
- Update progress tracking to 12 total steps
- Update pipeline_version to 'v4-reduction-stylelock'
flexoptix-catalog.ts:
- Fix contentHash call: pass object directly, not JSON.stringify(object)
db.ts:
- price_verified=true set in content_hash early-return path (no new observation)
- image_verified=true auto-set in findOrCreateScrapedTransceiver on INSERT/UPDATE
- findOrCreateScrapedTransceiver now sets image_verified=true when writing image_url
- upsertPriceObservation now sets price_verified=true on the transceiver after inserting price
- Both INSERT and UPDATE paths covered for image_verified sync
- Eliminates need for manual backfill after scraper runs
PostgreSQL max_connections was being exceeded (100/100).
- Limit pg-boss internal pool to 4 connections
- Added idle_in_transaction_session_timeout=30s to PostgreSQL config
- Already raised max_connections to 300 (container config)
System now stable at ~98/300 connections
Dead code leftover from STEP4_MASTER_DRAFT rewrite was sitting outside
any template literal, causing compilation failure. Removed duplicate
CONTEXT DATA RULES block and orphaned `{{OUTLINE}}`/`{{CONTEXT_DATA}}`
placeholders that were not wrapped in a string.
Core changes:
- HARD RULES rewritten: zero tolerance for ## headers, #### Scenario: patterns, bullet sections
- Gold article added as reference standard in STEP4_MASTER_DRAFT
- MANDATORY SECTIONS removed — replaced with continuous prose requirement
- STEP3_OUTLINE: now a flow plan (3-4 beats), not a section list
- STEP5_REALITY_INJECTION: no longer adds 'What Breaks' sections — injects into prose
- STEP9_QA_CHECK: format violations now primary HARD FAIL, above content checks
- DR4 wavelength fix: 1310nm = 0.35 dB/km (not 1550nm = 0.22 dB/km)
- Scope description fix: visual inspection tool ≠ loss measurement device
- Invented firmware version numbers now explicit HARD FAIL
