The em dash is one of the clearest tells of machine-written text, which
is the exact impression this work exists to remove. Rewritten rather
than substituted: where a dash was carrying a real aside the sentence is
split or recast, not patched with a comma.
Covers the About page, the two Callout labels an editor sees in the
admin panel, and PUBLISHING.md, which defines the house style and should
follow it. The rule is now recorded in that house style and in the
spec's voice rules, so it survives this branch.
Code comments are left alone: they are not copy, and the surrounding
codebase uses the same punctuation throughout.

Review findings on #140.
Drafts were reachable. Posts granted unconditional public read and the
_status filter lived only in the pages that query the collection — which
is a convenience, not a control. Payload's documentation is explicit:
"The `draft` argument alone does not restrict documents with _status:
'draft' from being returned by the API." A direct GET /cms-api/posts
would have handed every unpublished draft to any visitor. Read access
now returns a query constraint for anonymous callers, which is the
documented mechanism.
The --drop claim was asserted across four files while the spec still
listed it as an open question. Now verified rather than assumed:
run_full_migration drops exactly ["school_results", "schools"] by name,
there is no drop_all() or DROP SCHEMA anywhere in backend/, the only
other drop is schema-qualified to marts, and nothing sets search_path.
The guarantee is stronger than schema isolation alone — those two table
names do not exist in Payload — so the claim stands, but it now rests on
cited code. The spec records the evidence and closes the open item.
findPost is wrapped in React's cache(): Next calls generateMetadata and
the page separately for one request, so every post view ran the same
query against Postgres twice.
The bare .lede rule was dead — .prose p scores (0,1,1) and outranks it —
so only .prose .lede ever applied. Removed, with the specificity noted
so the surviving selector is not "simplified" back into a silent
regression.

The site reads as synthetic because nobody is accountable for the
numbers, no editorial judgement is visible, and the voice is
institutional third person. This designs the fix: a named author
(first name, photo, explicitly not an education expert), a coded
/about page, and a blog backed by Payload CMS running inside the
existing Next app.
Also fills a hole in the SEO programme, which has eight workstreams
and no E-E-A-T or authorship signal on a YMYL corpus.
Records two collisions found while designing, both of which fail
badly if missed: Payload's default /api route fights the existing
FastAPI catch-all proxy, and withPayload() is ESM-only so
next.config.js — which carries staging's noindex header — has to
become next.config.mjs.
