## Blog Post Published: "Your Fiber Is Under a Shovel"
**Path:** Published via `service.create_post()` directly — no API call, no frontmatter in content_md

**Assets created:**
- `posts/neighbors-shovel/article.md` — workspace copy
- `blog/posts/neighbors-shovel/images/hero-wired.svg` — cover art (cutaway earth, shovel, severed cable)
- `blog/posts/neighbors-shovel/images/chain-of-failure.svg` — inline SVG (chain diagram)
- `blog/posts/neighbors-shovel/images/degraded-mode-arch.svg` — inline SVG (3-zone architecture)
- Deployed to `hoffdesk/blog/static/images/posts/neighbors-shovel-*.svg`

**Key learning:** Blog posting isn't complex, but the gotchas burn time every time. Captured full pipeline in MEMORY.md for next time.
