Summary of work done

• Fixed the sidebar trust-list checkmark overlap at the sitewide layer, not by editing 572 page/post bodies.
• Discovered that the existing WPCode sidebar snippet 60656 was not reliably emitted on cached public pages. Updated it, then deployed the durable production fix as wp-content/mu-plugins/sal-sidebar-trust-grid-fix-20260615.php.
• The MU-plugin emits the sidebar trust CSS and includes a data-no-optimize script fallback because WP Rocket was emptying the inline style block on cached clean URLs.
• Removed high-confidence duplicate white UVP/CTA blocks from 30 published posts while preserving the stronger dark Get More proof block.
• Updated visible byline dates and inline dateModified values to June 15, 2026 on the edited duplicate-UVP posts where those fields existed.
• Updated sa-copywrite-design to v1.1.14 in both the canonical slash-routed skill and active Codex mirror. Verified byte parity after the update.
• Updated sa-element-registry with the live MU-plugin sidebar trust-list guardrail.

QA evidence

• Final duplicate UVP dry scan: audit-output/sitewide-sidebar-uvp-fix-2026-06-15/sitewide-sidebar-uvp-fix.json reported would_update_count: 0 and white_final_ctas_removed: 0.
• Content backups: 31 backup JSON files. There are 30 intended post edits plus one extra backup from a retry after a transient REST 503 on post 11998.
• Readbacks: 30 readback JSON files, matching the 30 edited posts.
• Public sample QA passed on these URLs: what-to-do-after-car-accident-kentucky, spine-injuries-in-vehicle-accidents, understanding-the-gardasil-lawsuits, and underride-crashes-the-silent-killer. Each sample had no white duplicate CTA, retained the dark proof block, showed Updated June 15, 2026, and had dateModified set to 2026-06-15.
• Sidebar source QA on clean URLs confirmed the no-optimize fallback script is present and contains the flex/static CSS needed to override legacy absolute .ck rules.
• WP Rocket cleanup hooks and Cloudflare purge were run after deploy.
