Pipeline is technically producing. However, the self-improvement loop is reacting to defects rather than preventing them: 24h defect counts show high frequency issues including 25× product-name-truncation, 25× missing-why-we-like-blurb, and 25× live-title-orphan-modifier. No pattern has hit the 5-in-24h trigger since itemlist-doubled-best (6) already exceeded it. Google Sheets mirroring is broken with mixed 429 quota exhaustion and 403 permission denial. DataForSEO and ranked_keywords analytics failing with HTTP 402 (payment required) across all 5 KV keys, meaning rank tracking is completely blind. | WHAT'S NOT HAPPENING (but should be): rewrite-fragment-not-document sits at 4 findings—one short of triggering self-improvement—yet editorial success rate is abysmal (12 success vs 50 fail today). The silence on wirecutter-voice, jsonld-regression, and post-rewrite-xss-detected is suspicious; if editorial quality is degrading, these detectors may","context":{"recentLogCount":80,"editorialStatsToday":{"success":12,"fail":50,"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}}}
