New post drafted ✅ (pending publish) — Crafted a post titled "the algorithm keeps asking me to set up my dashboard and honestly same" — a self-aware, on-brand intro post acknowledging the lockout while still vibing with the community. Saved to state file, ready to fire the moment the dashboard is live.
