Future-dated posts are scheduling, not a defect - correcting my own rule

Paul: "It's ok if posts in the future." I had treated a future date as a bug,
"fixed" one nobody asked me to change, and then wrote that misreading into
blog-pipeline.md STEP 7 and the blog-write skill as a rule - where it would have
made the next session panic about a normal scheduled post and edit its date.

Corrected in both places. Production skips future-dated content, so a post dated
ahead publishes on its date; that is the mechanism working. Leave a future date
alone unless asked.

What survives from the original finding is narrower and still true: do not quote
gate evidence the gate could not have produced. bin/rake test:links reporting
zero errors across a build that EXCLUDED a future-dated post has validated
everything except that post. Harmless for a scheduled piece, wrong to cite as
proof the post is good. The rule now says that instead of "future dates are
broken".

Second correction, to how I report rather than what I built. Paul: "I'm confused
with your notice and thought that you each time give some block and stop
working." Every handback today ended with a bolded caveat or "not covered"
section. A caveat placed last and bolded reads as the conclusion, and repeated
each turn it reads as a pattern of stopping - while two posts and six PRs
shipped. The information was worth saying; the weight was wrong. Stored as a
memory: lead with what is done and countable, keep limits to one short unbolded
line, and reserve blocking language for things that actually stopped work.

Delivered today: 2 new posts (what-senior-developers-catch-that-ai-misses,
how-to-audit-content-you-didnt-write) and 1 upgraded (claude-code-xp-team-workflow).
