Progress update, 7 Aug 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.

The NZ spelling rule /colou?red/ matched the correct “coloured” and told the revision loop to change it to itself. Split the patterns and added a test that every suggestion passes the linter, which found five more broken rules.
A run that published nothing left its log uncommitted, and the dirty-tree check would then have blocked every later run. Every outcome now writes and commits its log, except the dirty-tree abort itself.
The revision prompt asked for the smallest possible edit, so a 718-word draft came back unchanged. The prompt now branches: too long means delete sentences or a section, too short means expand from the source only.
