feat: blog engine v5 — Auto-Kill Layer, 16-step pipeline, longer content
...
Upgrades FO Blog Pipeline from 14 to 16 steps:
- NEW Step 8d: Auto-Kill Layer v1.0 (10 systematic categories A-J)
- NEW Step 15: Auto-Kill Scoring (cleanliness, narrative, non-AI, relevance)
- Updated banned phrases from Gold-standard editorial feedback
- Soft Delete List for conditional phrases
- Auto-Kill categories: spec blocks, formulas, section leakage,
generic transitions, repeated concepts, SKU mentions, false authority,
over-explained basics, whitepaper tone, fake precision
Content length changes per user feedback:
- Blog target: 1,200-2,000 words (was 700-1,000) — thorough and detailed
- LinkedIn target: 2,000-2,800 chars (was 350-600) — use maximum length
- Reduction pass: 25-30% cut (was 15-25%) — remove weak, keep depth

feat: blog engine v3 — 8-stage pipeline with Auto-Kill Layer
...
Complete rewrite of blog prompts and pipeline based on editorial
Gold-standard feedback. Replaces 3-pass system with 8-stage pipeline:
1. Master generation (narrative voice, no spec dumps)
2. Narrative Control (kill visible structure, enforce flow)
3. Auto-Kill Layer (remove AI phrases, spec residue, repetition)
4. Reduction Engine (cut 40% — keep strongest ideas only)
5. Depth pass (add specifics where vague, no spec dumps)
6. Quality Control (hard delete list validation)
7. Procurement layer (optional, sales audience)
8. LinkedIn post generation (new)
Key changes:
- System prompt rewritten with Hard Delete List (29 banned phrases)
- Soft Delete List for conditional phrases
- Auto-Kill categories A-J (spec blocks, formulas, whitepaper tone, etc.)
- Master prompts enforce continuous narrative, no section headings
- Word count targets reduced (800-1200 instead of 1500+)
- Scoring pass added (cleanliness, narrative, non-AI feel, relevance)
- LinkedIn companion post auto-generated
- Context data injection reduced (fewer items, no dump instructions)

fix: hype cycle findTechnology matched wrong tech (1G instead of 1.6T)
...
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).
