Verification without correction isn't a gap in the pillar cron — it's the design
The 30 June mortgage draft had 10 of 13 sentences clear the sentence-level verifier against live gov.uk pages. The three that failed dropped it from auto-publish. That is not a limitation — it is the design.
The pre-commit hook that exists because four lines made it to the live site
A build-log article shipped with an absolute path in a plist example: the macOS username, live on the site, publicly indexed. The immediate fix was four file edits. The structural fix was a hook that enforces the constraint at commit time.
Fourteen nights of missing telemetry: the four-part skeleton every new skill now inherits
The GSC and GA nightly crons had been logging clean exits and producing nothing for a fortnight. Found out on a Saturday. The fix was straightforward; what it exposed was a pattern gap: three telemetry reads with no single surface for their output. The skeleton that closed that is now the template every new read inherits.
I deployed Next.js to cPanel. The three bugs weren't in any tutorial.
A static Next.js deploy breaks in three specific places on cPanel: the LiteSpeed .htaccess configuration, next/image's optimisation API assumption, and a trailing-slash 404. None of the tutorials document them together. Eight chapters now do.
The cron fires daily. July's 14-day cadence clock ran on manual rescues.
Four composer failures manually rescued. A three-weekday gap that broke the clock and required two publishes on one morning to restart it. The July UK Calculators logs show cadence discipline isn't a property of the scheduler — it's a property of what happens when the scheduler fails.
