range summary — loads async without blocking the modal
LinkedIn Distribution Status:

stats, distribution history table with URN link to live posts
MCP Server — 2 new tools:
- find_equivalences: search 63k+ verified cross-brand mappings with confidence filter
- get_price_history: 392k+ observations, daily series, per-vendor analysis, cheapest source
- Migration 100: adds `description` column to standards (plain-language
DE·EN for non-technical colleagues), fills all 63 standards incl.
complete 200G tier (SR4/DR4/FR4/LR4/ER4/CR4), copper DAC variants,
PON family (GPON/XG-PON1/NG-PON2/25G-PON), 1.6T emerging standard
- Migration 101: new form_factors table — 20 entries covering SFP family
(SFP→SFP112), QSFP family (QSFP+→QSFP-DD800), OSFP family (OSFP→OSFP224),
CFP family, legacy XFP/CXP with full_name, speed, channels, status,
supersedes chain, and bilingual plain-language descriptions
- GET /api/form-factors — new endpoint, returns all form factors with
transceiver_count join
- GET /api/form-factors/:name — single form factor detail
Dashboard Standards tab:
- DB description shown as subtitle in standards table rows
- Full DE + EN description in standard detail panel
- New Form Factors grid section with status badges, speed, channel info,
family color coding, supersedes chain
- openFormFactorDetail() panel with full specs + transceiver link
- Search extended to match description + notes fields
- Migration 099: flexoptix_internal_demand table with RLS + v_demand_by_speed view
- Import script: AES-256-CBC decrypt → parse 8585 SKUs → upsert with velocity class
- 279 SKUs cross-referenced to transceiver catalog; 1288 with real demand data
- New /api/internal/demand/* routes (by-speed, velocity, hype-weights, forecast-input)
— protected by JWT auth + localhost/LAN IP restriction middleware
- Forecast engine calibrated with real Flexoptix run-rates (demand_calibrated flag)
- Dashboard: real Flexoptix Sales Velocity panel replaces DEMO DATA in Warehouse tab
with momentum indicators, velocity class breakdown, trend arrows
- Security: data stays on private server; RLS enforces is_internal=TRUE at DB layer
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)
- POST /api/auth/login: HMAC-SHA256 signed 7-day token, password from DASHBOARD_PASSWORD env
- GET /api/auth/verify: stateless token validation
- requireAuth middleware applied to all /api/* routes (except /api/health + /api/auth)
- /dashboard/login.html: dark TIP-themed login page with show/hide password toggle
- index.html: auth guard redirect to login + Authorization header on all api() calls
- No secrets in code — password stored in .env only
- 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
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.
