# Content tooling roadmap (blog body)

**Last Updated:** 2026-03-23

**Status:** Phase A+B implemented (canonical `content-draft.html`, `apply-and-validate-post.sh`, `make blog-post-validate-strict`). **Phase C** is intentionally **not** started—pick **one** pilot when HTML iteration pain justifies engineering cost.

## Phase C options (choose one pilot later)

| Option | Benefit | Cost / risk |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| **C1 – Section-level patch CLI** | Targeted edits, smaller diffs | Stable `id` on every H2; edge cases; tests |
| **C2 – Markdown → HTML pipeline** | LLM-friendly source, cleaner reviews | Converter must preserve blog classes (`table-breakout-wrapper`, `blog-note`); migration |
| **C3 – Block-based blog body** | Same model as template `content.md` | Schema / JSON shape change |

**Recommendation when prioritizing:** If the team stays **HTML-first**, pilot **C1**. If **LLM drafting** dominates, pilot **C2**. Reserve **C3** for a larger blog architecture change.
