***

### Task T013 - Feed creator-hype hits into existing noise downrank path

**Started**: 2026-06-19 19:52 **Completed**: 2026-06-19 19:54 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added creator-hype hit weight to `contentPatternPenalty`.
* Existing penalty total, noise risk, quality gate, visibility score, and downrank calculations consume the stronger penalty without schema changes.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/topic-quality.ts` - Wired creator-hype hits into existing content penalty scoring.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/tasks.md` - Marked T013 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/implementation-notes.md` - Logged T013 progress.

**BQC Fixes**:

***

### Task T012 - Extend content pattern detection with creator-hype markers

**Started**: 2026-06-19 19:52 **Completed**: 2026-06-19 19:54 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Extended topic haystack checks with creator-hype markers without broad sentiment scoring.
* Kept legitimate tutorial wording dependent on the older, lower-weight generic content patterns.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/topic-quality.ts` - Added creator-hype hit detection.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/tasks.md` - Marked T012 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/implementation-notes.md` - Logged T012 progress.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: detection remains deterministic and bounded to the existing input haystack.

***

### Task T005 - Define creator-hype pattern helpers

**Started**: 2026-06-19 19:52 **Completed**: 2026-06-19 19:54 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added a reviewed creator-hype pattern set near existing content pattern regexes.
* Patterns focus on engagement-farming CTAs, six-plus listicles, "only tool you need" claims, "top 0.1%" claims, secret prompt/tool framing, and hashtag closers.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/topic-quality.ts` - Added creator-hype regex helpers.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/tasks.md` - Marked T005 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/implementation-notes.md` - Logged T005 progress.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: creator-hype detection is private to scoring and does not add a browser field or schema shape.

***

### Task T011 - Wire banned-phrase validation into repair and fallback summaries

**Started**: 2026-06-19 19:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-19 19:52 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Banned phrase validation now returns `analyst-banned-phrase`, which is accepted by the existing `shouldRetryWithRepair` flow.
* Repair prompts include the anti-trope guard and summarize the validation issue code.
* Repeated invalid output still falls through the existing normalized fallback summary without adding another retry loop.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/trend-analyst.ts` - Reused existing repair/fallback issue plumbing for banned phrase failures.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/tasks.md` - Marked T011 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/implementation-notes.md` - Logged T011 progress.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: validation relies on the existing single repair retry and does not introduce another retry trigger.

***

### Task T010 - Mirror voice discipline in deterministic fallback merge copy

**Started**: 2026-06-19 19:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-19 19:52 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Routed both analyst-provided and deterministic fallback demand brief copy through `applyTrendAnalystVoiceConstraints` inside `mergeTrendDemandClusterBriefs`.
* Kept the helper stateless and bounded by the existing demand brief text limit.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/trend-analyst.ts` - Applied voice constraints in demand-brief merge output.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/tasks.md` - Marked T010 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/implementation-notes.md` - Logged T010 progress.

**BQC Fixes**:

* State freshness on re-entry: fallback copy is re-normalized on every merge call and does not rely on retained mutable state.

***

### Task T009 - Implement banned-phrase validation across public copy

**Started**: 2026-06-19 19:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-19 19:52 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added `validateAnalystPublicCopyVoice` and path-aware issue creation.
* Scans typed public copy fields across topics, hooks, audience questions, run notes, rejected reasons, demand briefs, theme labels, and outlier ideas.
* Validation returns `analyst-banned-phrase` so existing fallback and repair behavior can consume it.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/trend-analyst.ts` - Wired public-copy voice validation into output validation.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/tasks.md` - Marked T009 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/implementation-notes.md` - Logged T009 progress.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Error information boundaries: validation messages expose a reviewed pattern label and path, not provider text or raw source payloads.

***

### Task T008 - Add anti-trope block to analyst prompts

**Started**: 2026-06-19 19:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-19 19:52 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added `TREND_ANALYST_ANTI_TROPE_INSTRUCTIONS`.
* Included the guard in system instructions, main task prompt, and repair instructions.
* Preserved existing "Use only evidence IDs" and "Do not invent sources, metrics, dates, or URLs" language.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/trend-analyst.ts` - Added anti-trope guard to prompt constants.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/tasks.md` - Marked T008 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/implementation-notes.md` - Logged T008 progress.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: request data shape and output schema were left unchanged while prompt instructions were extended.

***

### Task T004 - Define deterministic fallback-copy voice constraints

**Started**: 2026-06-19 19:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-19 19:52 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added `applyTrendAnalystVoiceConstraints` for deterministic fallback copy.
* Normalized vague fallback wording, replaced Unicode soft-pause dashes, and falls back to a concrete mechanism sentence if all copy remains unusable.
* Routed demand-brief merge copy through the constraint helper.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/trend-analyst.ts` - Added fallback voice constraint helper and demand-brief merge usage.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/tasks.md` - Marked T004 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/implementation-notes.md` - Logged T004 progress.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Failure path completeness: unusable deterministic fallback copy now resolves to a bounded safe sentence instead of leaking stock phrases or returning empty text.

***

### Task T003 - Define anti-trope banned phrases and validator issue code

**Started**: 2026-06-19 19:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-19 19:52 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added the `analyst-banned-phrase` validation issue code.
* Added a reviewed anti-trope pattern set covering stock openers, hedges, hype phrases, rhetorical reflexes, vague verbs, and soft-pause Unicode dashes.
* Kept the pattern set scoped to analyst public copy validation rather than raw evidence or identifiers.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/trend-analyst.ts` - Added banned phrase constants and issue code.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/tasks.md` - Marked T003 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/implementation-notes.md` - Logged T003 progress.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: banned phrase validation is applied after schema parsing and only to typed public output fields.

***

### Task T002 - Verify current topic-quality and source-doc anchors

**Started**: 2026-06-19 19:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-19 19:48 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Verified topic-quality anchors in `contentPatternRegexes`, `contentPatternPenalty`, `buildMetrics`, `noiseRiskFromScore`, and `calculateNoiseDownrank`.
* Verified topic-quality tests already cover low-noise specific topics, generic listicle suppression, hidden-gem rescue, and invalid input fallback.
* Verified source documentation has a `Deferred Source Coverage Candidates` section for the social-reach non-goal wording.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/tasks.md` - Marked T002 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/implementation-notes.md` - Logged T002 progress.

***

### Task T001 - Verify current analyst prompt, validator, and test anchors

**Started**: 2026-06-19 19:47 **Completed**: 2026-06-19 19:48 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Verified analyst prompt anchors in `TREND_ANALYST_SYSTEM_INSTRUCTIONS`, `TREND_ANALYST_TASK_PROMPT`, `TREND_ANALYST_REPAIR_INSTRUCTIONS`, and `buildTrendAnalystPrompt`.
* Verified validation anchors in `validateTrendAnalystOutputData`, metadata validation helpers, retry flow, and fallback issue summarization.
* Verified demand-brief fallback merge path in `mergeTrendDemandClusterBriefs`.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/tasks.md` - Marked T001 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session01-editorial-quick-wins/implementation-notes.md` - Logged T001 progress.
