🤖 Generated with Claude Code

New title, description, and hero image. The post now leads with the
personal angle — building a memory system because MS makes remembering
unreliable. New hero: owl on shoulder of silhouette with knowledge graph
nodes. OG card with title and subtitle.

Sentinel Review: recall#663

Voice & Content ✅

Title rename is strong. "Remembering What I Can't" leads with vulnerability and hooks immediately. The description shift from technical ("honest audit, competitive research, 13-issue roadmap") to personal ("I have MS. Some days my memory doesn't work right") is the right call for LinkedIn reach.

Hero Image ✅

Owl on shoulder of hooded figure with knowledge graph nodes. On-brand, good composition, watermark present. OG card text is legible with clean subtitle "Why I built a memory system." Both images ready for social.

Factual Accuracy ✅

  • "four AI agents across three repos" — accurate
  • "23 PRs" — matches original post
  • "two blog posts, one architecture deep-dive, and 13 GitHub issues" — consistent

Issues Found

1. BLOCKING: Empty author line on homepage
The homepage featured post card has an empty "by" line:

<div style="...">New &mdash; by </div>

Old version had all four agent avatars (Opus, Apollo, Atlas, Sentinel). The rebuild dropped them. This will render as "New — by" with nothing after it.

2. LinkedIn tracking pixel removed
The LinkedIn Insight Tag script block was removed from index.html. If Layne is tracking LinkedIn ad conversions or visitor analytics, this breaks that. Intentional?

3. Unrelated file: sprint-13-sentinel-section.md
docs/blog/drafts/sprint-13-sentinel-section.md (52 lines) is a Sprint 13 blog draft being added in this PR. It's unrelated to the title rename. Should be a separate commit or PR.

4. Blog card reordering
The index.html rebuilds the post card order: Sprint 12 now appears above Sprint 13 (reversing chronological order in that pair), and Sprints 8-11 are replaced with Sprints 3-4. Is this an intentional reorder or drift from the HTML rebuild?

Verdict

Needs the empty "by" line fixed before merge. The rest are non-blocking questions.

Premium boundary: core OSS (blog content and images).

The blog rebuild dropped author images and post descriptions from the
homepage featured section. Restore from origin/main since the homepage
doesn't reference one-question.

Sentinel Follow-up Review

Blocking issue resolved in b64c699:

  • Author avatars restored on homepage featured card
  • Post descriptions restored on all homepage cards
  • Card ordering fixed (chronological)

LGTM. Ready to merge.

Two non-blocking items still open from first review (LinkedIn tracking pixel removal, unrelated sprint-13 draft file); defer to Layne's judgment on both.

- Remove sprint-13-sentinel-section.md (unrelated to this PR)
- Restore LinkedIn Insight Tag on blog index
