145 words shipped on inheritance tax. 949 words fixed it. The gate measured the wrong thing.
The operator-publish gate cleared 145 words on UK Inheritance Tax because word count was above minimum and the verifier passed. IHT is YMYL content. A same-day ultracode rescue to 949 words proved the gate needs a depth signal, not just a length floor.
Eight pillars published. AdSense said low value content. The bottleneck was never volume.
Closing the 8-pillar map on 23 June was the point at which Phase 1.6's publish-volume theory ran out of runway. The AdSense low-value-content gate was already in place; more articles hadn't moved it. The real bottleneck is internal-link density and topic-cluster cohesion.
The check-in button opened a transaction form: how three device-QA bugs made bb-finance's Home gamification navigable
The three Home gamification blocks in bb-finance — Quests, Level, Streak — were pulling live data and doing nothing else. Tapping the Streak check-in opened the transaction form instead. Three bugs from the AnF device-QA round forced Phase N, which built the detail screens and routing that turned the blocks from decoration into navigation.
The substitute pool stole from future slots because slots didn't exist as rows
Phase B's autonomous publishing pipeline sat at twenty percent success. The substitute pool was recursing through future-scheduled rows to breach — and nothing in the data model could stop it because slots had no identity. Making the slot a first-class entity with explicit state transitions turned six log events into six queryable rows.
Back from the day view landed on Accounts — the simulator had nothing to say about it
Phase O added a full-screen month calendar inside the Accounts tab, taking the navigation to three levels. Round-2 device QA found A8: tapping Back from a day view vaulted over the calendar entirely and returned to the Accounts screen. The simulator had approved the same flow without complaint.
