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'
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.
