## WORKFLOWS
| Command | When | File |
|---|---|---|
| `/ralph-loop` | After any change — self-verify | `.agent/workflows/ralph-loop.md` |
| `/preflight-check` | Before committing | `.agent/workflows/preflight-check.md` |
| `/deploy-and-verify` | Deploying to production | `.agent/workflows/deploy-and-verify.md` |
| `/cleanup` | Monthly maintenance | `.agent/workflows/cleanup.md` |
| `/send-email` | Sending emails | `.agent/workflows/send-email.md` |

## CRITICAL INVARIANTS

### 1. Blog text = `text-left`
Never `text-center` or `text-justify` on body text. Applies to: BlogPost.tsx, BlogAnalysis.tsx, all blog components.

### 2. Emails use branded templates
Use `generateNewsletterEmail()`, `generateTransactionalEmail()`, or `wrapEmailContent()` from `lib/email-template.ts`. Never `processEmailContent` alone. Never raw HTML. Read `brand-email-manager` skill first.

### 3. SQL uses check-and-insert pattern
Never `ON CONFLICT (slug)`. Always: `SELECT id INTO existing_post_id ... LIMIT 1` → `IF/ELSE` insert/update.

### 4. Deploy = merge to main + push + verify live URL
Follow `.agent/workflows/deploy-and-verify.md`. Never mark deployment complete without verification.

### 5. Blog formatting: check live URL first
Verify at `https://www.thelostandunfounds.com/thelostarchives/[slug]`, not the SQL file. See `BLOG_POST_STYLE_GUIDE.md`.

## BLOG POST PUBLISHING RULE

When publishing a blog post, follow ALL steps:

1. **Create SQL** in `sql/create-blog-post-[slug].sql` AND `public/sql/create-blog-post-[slug].sql`
   - Use check-and-insert pattern (invariant #3)
   - Include title, slug, content, excerpt, SEO fields, published=true, status='published'
2. **Update `src/pages/SQL.tsx`** — add fetch + entry in `allScripts` array (auto-sorted by `createdAt`)
3. **Update `api/sql/latest.ts`** — add file path to `SQL_FILES` array
4. **Commit, merge to main, push**
5. **Verify** at `https://www.thelostandunfounds.com/sql` — script must appear with copy functionality

## EMAIL SENDING RULE
- Never claim you can't send email — use Zoho Mail integrations
- Test: POST `https://www.thelostandunfounds.com/api/admin/send-welcome-emails` with `{"testEmail":"target@example.com"}`
- Required env vars: `ZOHO_CLIENT_ID`, `ZOHO_CLIENT_SECRET`, `ZOHO_REFRESH_TOKEN`, `ZOHO_FROM_EMAIL`

## NEWSLETTER RESEND RULE
1. Query `newsletter_campaigns` (ordered by `created_at` desc, limit 1) using `.env.local` credentials
2. Inject Getting Started CTA before footer if not present
3. Send via POST `https://www.thelostandunfounds.com/api/newsletter/send` with `testEmail` for testing
4. Omit `testEmail` for full send

## DASHBOARD CLOCK RULE
Clock face click → cycles formats (Analog → Digital 12h → 24h). Top label click → cycles modes (Clock → Stopwatch → Timer). Use `e.stopPropagation()` on clock face clicks.
