Progress update, 21 May 2026

Updates are bullet-point summaries generated with AI from my commits and build notes, then checked by me. Project articles and learning notes are written by me.

Surveyed the source material: 101 .docx buyer’s guides, each in its own folder with photos beside it. Section headings are bold paragraphs rather than Word heading styles, and the spec data is in real Word table elements, so it should survive conversion as markdown tables.
Decided the generator writes from one section rather than a whole guide: roughly 1,500 distinct chunks across the corpus, picked one a night. The guides themselves get published too, so the source is also the archive.
The brief’s cron line was node scripts/generate-article.js, which cannot run a TypeScript file. Corrected to tsx before it reached a Pi.
