Every post now carries one unique local-ComfyUI/Ideogram 4 base frame, composited
into EN + ZH share cards, a banner and list thumbs.
- the shipped prompts_catalog held only 21 distinct metaphors for 72 posts (16
shared one visual), so all 72 were rewritten as unique object+state metaphors
and 10 frames re-rolled after OCR found pseudo-text rendered at legible size
- render_from_art.mjs emits JPEG by default (558 KB PNG -> 84 KB mozjpeg q85);
the ZH 1200x630 card did not exist before this batch
- 288 frontmatter fields migrated; the 144 v1 PNGs are gone
- PostList's thumb helper keys off the base slug (a ZH card is zh-<slug>.jpg while
the thumb is <slug>-800.webp, which 404'd the whole ZH listing)
- [...slug].astro's <picture> regex accepts .jpg
- the repo now carries the art inputs (metaphors.json, captions/<slug>.json,
refreshed prompts_catalog.json) so a frame is reproducible from git alone
The commit-churn post the owner read and approved today, published in the
first-person voice he asked for.
- Voice rewrite before publishing: the draft opened on "when managers or
recruiters ask how productive an engineer is" and addressed the reader in the
second person throughout (you/your 12 -> 2, both in the CTA; ZH 你 5 -> 2).
It now reads as a log entry: "Last week I did something I almost never bother
to do: I counted my own commits." Headings moved from essay titles to actions.
Numbers, the 5-repo table and every claim are unchanged.
- Title changed at the owner's request:
"Why 500,000 Lines of Commit Churn Only Left 230,000 Lines in Production"
-> "I Committed 518,000 Lines in 30 Days. Production Kept 235,000."
(ZH: 30 天提交 51.8 万行，生产环境只留下 23.5 万行), pubDate 2026-10-18.
- Fixed two real defects found while making the card: the draft claimed "four
automated gates" and listed three; and og-gen split titles at the word-count
midpoint, breaking at "…Lines in / 30 Days" — the splitter now prefers a
sentence boundary near the middle and falls back to the midpoint.
- og PNG regenerated for the new title, thumbs and banner WebP re-derived.
Measured: card 2 title lines, overflowY 0, measure_og_banner PASS (tags 1 row,
banner delta 2), build clean, /posts/ monotonic with this post on top.
Also queued the post at the head of the dev.to drip (queue 69 -> 70).
