Built and indexed a reusable Truck Talk episode template skill at /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/Skills/truck-talk-episode-template/SKILL.md. Updated sa-editorial-design, interactive-element-library, and SKILL-INDEX.md so future agents know to use this pattern for Truck Talk pages/posts.
Published the full template polish to the pilot page only: https://aguiarinjurylawyers.com/truck-talk/truck-vs-car-crashes/. No bulk rollout was performed.
The pilot now has the approved split hero, H1 beginning with Truck Talk:, no duplicate eyebrow, no external Watch on YouTube caption below the hero, a pre-content snippet under the TOC, a styled sidebar CALL NOW button with hover state, upgraded FAQ styling, a Google review strip, an evidence ledger/table visual, and a bottom full-width BSG CTA reading Get More. Get It Faster. and GET IT WITH SAM AGUIAR with no supporting sentence below.
REST source and public HTML checks passed for: VideoObject schema, FAQPage schema, snippet marker, sidebar CALL NOW, FAQ styling marker, review strip, evidence ledger, BSG CTA, no old YouTube caption, no raw phone-number CTA, and no old bottom CTA sentence.
Desktop render QA passed with final screenshot: /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/Screaming Frog 5.8.26/traffic_3xx_cleanup_2026-05-10/truck_talk_hero_live_option_a_20260517/truck-talk-full-template-desktop-fullpage-css-logo-final-2026-05-17.png.
Mobile render QA passed with final screenshot: /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/Screaming Frog 5.8.26/traffic_3xx_cleanup_2026-05-10/truck_talk_hero_live_option_a_20260517/truck-talk-full-template-mobile-fullpage-css-logo-final-2026-05-17.png.
Backups were saved before each live change under /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Codex/wp-content-backups/, including the final pre-CSS-logo backup truck-vs-car-crashes-2026-05-17-140813-pre-bsg-css-logo-fix.html.
The first BSG implementation used a small WebP data URI after WordPress media upload failed with rest_upload_sideload_error. Render QA caught that the data URI did not paint reliably. The second version used an existing media-library image URL, but the site image optimizer rewrote the image to a lazy placeholder. The final working approach uses a stable WordPress media URL as a CSS background inside an accessible logo block, which renders in full-page screenshot QA on desktop and mobile.
One cache-busted browser request briefly returned a Maintenance page, while later browser and HTTP checks returned the live page. I treated it as a live-surface warning and rechecked before closure.
The skill registry checker still reports preexisting unrelated registry drift. The new Truck Talk skill is indexed, but a separate cleanup pass would make future skill audits cleaner.
The requested pilot page and reusable guidance are complete, verified, and ready for Sam's QA. Bulk publishing is intentionally paused until the pilot is visually accepted.
Use this pilot as the QA gate. If approved, run a controlled batch rollout across the remaining Truck Talk pages/posts using the new skill and the same source, public HTML, desktop, and mobile screenshot checks. A small second pilot batch of 3 to 5 episodes would be a conservative bridge before all pages.
