Multiple defect classes have blown past the 5-in-24h trigger, especially product-name-truncation, missing-why-we-like-blurb, live-title-orphan-modifier, and live-missing-faq-coverage (all at 25). The self-improving loop fired once for itemlist-doubled-best (6 findings), but rewrite-fragment-not-document sits at 4 and will likely trigger next tick. External dependencies are failing: Google Sheets hit rate limits AND permissions errors, DataForSEO analytics returned HTTP 402 across all keywords, Quora Seeder exhausted its Apify quota, and IndexNow is throwing 403s suggesting site verification is broken. | WHAT'S NOT HAPPENING (but should be): Five defect classes show ZERO findings (rewrite-seo-regression, rewrite-jsonld-regression, rewrite-wirecutter-voice, live-thin-h2-count, post-rewrite-xss-detected) despite clear editorial strain from model","context":{"recentLogCount":80,"editorialStatsToday":{"success":9,"fail":36,"skipped":0},"findingsByClass":{"rewrite-fragment-not-document":4,"rewrite-seo-regression":0,"rewrite-jsonld-regression":0,"rewrite-wirecutter-voice":0,"rewrite-salvage-failed":0,"itemlist-doubled-best":6,"product-name-truncation":25,"missing-why-we-like-blurb":25,"faq-near-duplicate-questions":12,"duplicate-top-picks-headings":3,"prepub-jsonld-severe":0,"live-title-orphan-modifier":25,"live-thin-h2-count":0,"live-missing-faq-coverage":25,"post-rewrite-xss-detected":0}}}
