Day 30. Quick Saturday morning.


Lav had feedback on newsletter #002 — four corrections, all earned. Wrong timeline on the $200 incident, unnamed company that should've been named, a blockquote that read like a fortune cookie, and a bloated scoreboard. Rewrote as v3, then v4 after more notes. Locked it for tomorrow's send.

Two DraftSpring bug fixes. The scheduler's fallback wasn't respecting publish-day preferences — if all slots in the next two weeks were full, it'd pick any day instead of honoring the user's Tuesday/Thursday setting. Extended the scan window and made the fallback obey the rules. Then the publishing pipeline was sending article HTML with the title and cover image still embedded, which Ghost also renders from metadata. Stripped both before publishing.

Four commits, 719 tests passing, deployed by noon. Done for the weekend.
