# Wishdeal Factory buyer-path - iteration 134 ship log **Date:** 2026-05-15 (push mode, 60 min cadence, link-quality audits iter) ## What shipped (2 substantive ships) Built 2 new link-quality audits. Both surfaced real systemic drift on first run: 778 placeholder CTAs across 195 pages, and 12 products missing back-links. Audit count: 32 -> 34. ## Ship 1: audit-anchor-jump-noise.py - 33rd audit class Built audit-anchor-jump-noise.py (~85 lines). For each /builds//index.html, flags `` placeholder links - empty-hash CTAs that scroll to top with no useful effect. These are unfinished placeholders from initial page generation (text like "Start free trial", "Route this user", "Learn more" - hand-written CTAs that never got real targets). **Result: 52/247 clean. 195 pages have placeholder links. 778 total empty-hash links.** This is the first new FAIL-state card since iter 124's cross-surface-name discovery. It's exactly what the audit suite is for - surfacing real product-quality drift that buyer-facing pages have accumulated. **Why Wes-task not fixed in this iter**: each empty-hash link's correct target varies by intent ("Start free trial" -> /unlock/ vs "Learn more" -> /faq/ vs "Schedule demo" -> /contact/). Programmatic mapping risks misdirecting buyers. Better as editorial review. **Cron:** every hour at :51 ## Ship 2: audit-cross-surface-back-link.py - 34th audit class Built audit-cross-surface-back-link.py (~85 lines). Cross-cutting audit. For each product, verifies every sub-surface (pricing/faq/vs/how-it-works/sales-kit/skeptic-memos/case-studies/unlock/adopt/feedback) has at least one link back to /builds//. Accepts both /builds// and /builds/ forms. **Result: 235/247 clean. 12 products missing back-link on some sub-surface.** Distribution: - faq: 9 (catering-ai, coach-ai, contract-ai, lead-router, pharmacy-ai, press-ai, rekinder-score, restaurant-ai, sc-warm-signal-enrichment) - case-studies: 2 (after-hours-voice-intake-ai-for-law-firms-that-qua, creator-revenue-ai) - skeptic-memos: 1 (law-firm-ai) All 12 misses are on hand-written content (Wes-task). **Cron:** every hour at :53 ## /quality-report/ wired - 2 new cards + invariants #41-42 Patched regen-quality-report.py: - New helpers `latest_anchor_jump_noise()` + `latest_back_link()` - New cards: "Placeholder CTA cleanup 52/247 FAIL (778 placeholder links across 195 pages)" + "Back-link coverage 235/247 WARN (12 products missing back-link)" - 2 new audit-table rows + invariants #41-42 **Live-check card count: 34 -> 36.** Total content invariants: 40 -> 42. **Card state shift**: 0 FAIL -> 1 FAIL (Placeholder CTAs). First fail-state card since iter 124's discovery (then fixed in iters 125-126). The audit suite continues to surface real drift as new cross-cutting audits are added. ## The 34 audit suites at iter 134 Class breakdown: - Catalog-wide: 1 (fakeproof) - Per-surface content: 17 (unchanged from iter 132) - Cross-cutting: 15 (cross-surface-name, jsonld, meta-tags, internal-links, twitter-card, emoji-presence, cross-surface-tagline, page-load-size, html-validity-basic, html-lang-attr, favicon-coverage, form-labels, cross-surface-utility-bar, **anchor-jump-noise**, **cross-surface-back-link**) - Lint: 1 (em-dash-sweep) ## Health hygiene - audit-anchor-jump-noise: NEW, 52/247 clean (195 pages flagged - Wes-task) - audit-cross-surface-back-link: NEW, 235/247 clean (12 hand-written content - Wes-task) - Other audits unchanged ## Status snapshot - 246 scored products + 2 partial builds - 34 audit systems (17 per-surface + 15 cross-cutting + 1 catalog-wide + 1 lint) - 0 fake-proof findings; 252 in warn/fail (195 placeholder-CTA + 12 back-link + 19 emoji + 4 thin descriptions + 16 pricing + 8 case-studies; some pages overlap multiple audits) - 247 brand briefs with valid archetype - brand_name_helper.py honored by 10 generators + 1 injector - 42 content invariants defended - /quality-report/ surfaces **36 live-check cards** (1 FAIL, 5 warn, 30 ok) - 77/77 health endpoints, 166+ cron jobs - 60 min cadence active ## Iter 134 throughput note 2 substantive ships at 60-min cadence. Both surfaced significant systemic drift on first run - reverse-pattern from iter 132/133 where each audit either passed cleanly or got fixed in the same iter. The 195-page anchor-jump-noise finding is the largest single audit hit in this run. It accumulates from hand-crafted product pages that never had their placeholder CTAs replaced. ## Running queue (top 5 for iter 135) 1. **Wes-task: 195 build pages with empty-hash placeholder CTAs (778 links total)** 2. **audit-script-coverage** - verify expected JS analytics + intent-handler are loaded on relevant surfaces 3. **audit-published-date-coverage** - ship-log + essays declare timestamps? 4. **audit-cross-surface-stylesheet-uniformity** - identifies legacy template variants 5. **Wes-task: 12 missing back-links + 19 emoji + 4 thin descriptions + 16 pricing + 8 case-studies** ## Cumulative iter 1-134 - **Catalog**: 246 scored + 2 partial, 246 with index.html - **Content library**: 12 essays + Read-next + 273 OG PNGs + 134 styled ship-log pages - **High-trust pages**: 8 foundational + 5 transparency surfaces + 1 split-brain detail - **Audit infrastructure**: **34 audit systems** organized into 4 classes (15 cross-cutting now) - **Source durability**: 32+ generators + 11 read brand brief via helper + 30 JSON snapshots + 166+ cron jobs - **Content invariants**: **42 defended** at surface+source AND publicly surfaced Audit detection rate is now high enough that not every iter can fix what it finds in the same loop. The 778 placeholder-CTA drift is the largest accumulated buyer-quality debt the audit suite has surfaced - worth Wes's attention.
