feat(linkedin-copy): keep cross-post above the LinkedIn mobile fold#47
Merged
Conversation
The 250-400 word linkedin_copy generated by idea-generator was producing ~1500-char posts that micro.blog truncated when syndicating to LinkedIn, leaving a "...see more" link to the micro.blog note alongside our intended "Full post:" link. Two competing CTAs, body cut mid-sentence. Target: ≤280 chars total including the URL line. 1-3 short lines, lifted from the strongest sentences in the post itself. - idea-generator.js: schema description + prompt rewritten for the tease format; new posts will be generated this way going forward. - microblog-poster.js fallback prompt: same constraints. - 2026-04-25-devops post: hand-tightened to opener + closer + URL (~259 chars). Verified above-the-fold against LinkedIn mobile width.

Summary
Shorten the LinkedIn cross-post body so the entire post fits above the LinkedIn mobile fold — no "...see more" truncation, no competing CTAs.
Why
The 250–400 word `linkedin_copy` block produced by `idea-generator.js` was ~1500 chars. micro.blog cross-posted the full text, but LinkedIn collapsed it at ~280–300 chars, inserting a `lnkd.in/...` "Read more" link to the micro.blog note alongside our `Full post:` link to the blog. Body cut mid-sentence, two links, ambiguous CTA.

AI code generation made your developers faster. It did not make your deployment pipeline wider.
DevOps is not a supporting function in this world. It is the binding constraint.
