Objective

Finish the remaining practice-area pages first, then continue into non-series posts. Add the split-card hero pattern and approved registry Sidebar Option B where missing. Hard stop at 100 completed live items.

Accomplished

• Completed exactly 100 live WordPress items.
• Practice-area mechanical queue is complete.
• Final strict marker audit returned 100 completed and 0 missing split hero or real aside.sa-sidebar.sa-sidebar-optb-poppins.
• IndexNow accepted all live batches and the final repaired sidebar URLs.
• Created local handoff at /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/admin/session_logs/HANDOFF-split-card-hero-sidebar-100-wave-2026-06-12.md.

Important Implementation Notes

• Script used: /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/Repos/sail-marketing/bulk-rebuild/hero_sidebar_wave_2026_06_12.py.
• Output folder: /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/Repos/sail-marketing/bulk-rebuild/outputs/hero-sidebar-wave-2026-06-12/.
• Reports are batch_003.json through batch_017.json; backups and repair snapshots are under that same output folder.
• Added no-sticky sidebar armor, CTA phone label contrast normalization, TOC contrast normalization, stricter real-sidebar detection, and a fallback no-grid wrapper that inserts a real .sa-content-grid with approved Sidebar Option B.

Still Pending

• https://aguiarinjurylawyers.com/common-mistakes-to-avoid-in-car-accident-cases-2/ is blocked from the mechanical lane. It needs a dedicated wrapper repair because the patch changed div balance too much.
• Stored QA still flags old content debt across many migrated posts: comparative-fault sections, statute/how-long FAQ phrasing, standalone sa-card, older phone numbers, header phrasing, and tag imbalances.

Pickup Prompt

Continue with posts after the 100-item hard stop. Start by rerunning the strict marker audit, then process the next non-series posts with the repaired script. Keep the Common Mistakes post fenced until its wrapper is repaired.
