 - **Determinism = idempotency.** Drill/gate sampling uses a seeded PRNG (`rng()` in `apps/api/src/srs.ts`, FNV-1a → mulberry32, seed = date / ISO week); the digest is keyed by ET date in `email_log`; one-tap links are unique on (problem, date, kind).
 - **DST-proof crons:** each event has two UTC crons; code fires only on the computed ET hour (`etHour`), unit-checked in `apps/api/src/srs.test.ts`.
 - **Chained workflows:** `GITHUB_TOKEN`-driven issue closes fire no `issues` events, so `close-topics.yml` chains off `workflow_run` of Close Solved instead. The Worker's webhook uses its own `GH_PAT`, so its events flow normally.
+- **One "finished topic" rule, two consumers.** `apps/cli/topics.ts` (`coreSet()`: every `set:core` sub-issue closed, zero core = never) is read by `close-topics.ts` (closes the topic issue) and `release-topics.ts` (the `release` job of `close-solved.yml`). The release reads the sub-issues, not the topic issue, so the push that finishes a topic releases it in the same run instead of waiting for Close Topics to chain after it. Version = [timever](https://gist.github.com/twolfson/de1b004dd22536b8e668) (`YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.NNNNNNNNN`, UTC) of the instant the last core problem closed; the tag is annotated and backdated to that instant, on the last first-parent main commit before it; the body is a changelog snapshot at that instant (a one-sentence summary first — Blume's changelog makes it the page's meta description — then closed on the finish day / earlier / open at release, with solution links at the tag). A release is found by its `<!-- release-topics: #N -->` body marker, never by tag name, so re-closing a core problem never mints a second one; an existing release keeps its tag and has its name (the topic title) and body rewritten whenever the render changes. The docs `/changelog` is these releases (`githubReleases` in `apps/docs/blume.config.ts`, fetched at build with `GITHUB_TOKEN`), dated by the timever tag, not `published_at` (which the API cannot backdate): `releasesDatedByTag` rewrites each timever release's `published_at` before Blume maps it, via `custom(githubReleasesSource(…))` because the config-level `githubReleases()` takes no `fetchImpl`. Changing the tag format breaks the changelog dates.

A problem page's badge row (between the description and the body) is rendered, not written: the MDX `wrapper` (`components/ProblemBadges.astro`, registered as `mdx.wrapper` in `components.ts` — Blume's page template renders the title and description itself with no slot before the body, so the wrapper, which MDX hands no route, reads it off `Astro.url`) reads the page's `topics:` (LeetCode's topic tags, from sync) and `video:` (NeetCode YouTube id, from `bun run videos`) frontmatter — both declared via `frontmatter.extend` in `blume.config.ts`, hand-rolled Standard Schemas, no zod — and links a tag the campaign teaches to its topic landing page (accent), any other tag to its guide page `/guides/<slug>` (neutral; LeetCode's problem list if the guide is gone), and the video as a red `Explanation` badge. The reverse direction is the `PageFooter` slot (`components/BacklinksList.astro`): an Obsidian-style `<num> <name>` list under every topic landing and guide page of the problems whose badges link there, plus a topic's own folder members (so a topic no tag names, `hybrid-structures`, still lists its problems), in a native `<details>` open on load whose top-right chevron collapses it (no JS); problem pages are recognised by their `<num>. <name>` title and render no list. Which tags the campaign teaches is ONE map, `apps/docs/topic-landings.ts` (tag slug → landing routes), and where a badge points is ONE function beside it, `tagTarget()` — read by both components (so badges and backlinks cannot disagree) and the map by sync. `content/guides/` (the `Guides` header tab) is one page per tag outside that map, filed by hand into `(group)` categories — `(1-data-structures)/`, `(2-algorithms)/`, `(3-techniques)/` (hand-written `meta.ts` each; no route segment, so every guide stays `/guides/<slug>`). Sync finds a guide by slug anywhere under `guides/` and creates a placeholder only when none exists or it is empty — at the `guides/` root, for you to file into a category and give a Lucide `icon:` that no topic uses (not a `TOPIC_ICONS` value — sync warns on a collision — and, by convention, not one any other page uses either) — and after that owns exactly one key of it: `sidebar.badge`, the sidebar count, rewritten every run to the guide's backlink count (problem pages carrying the tag — equal to the `BacklinksList` rows, since a guide's tag has no landing; dropped at zero). Everything else is hand-owned (a guide whose tag no page carries any more is left alone, badge dropped), with frontmatter `list:` — the tag's LeetCode problem list, rendered by the same wrapper as an orange `LeetCode list` badge; sync also writes `guides/meta.ts`. A hand-written `(0N-<phase>)/<topic>/index.mdx` (`hidden: true`) is that topic's landing page: Blume ≥ 1.7.3 links the sidebar group row to it (`sliding-window/index.mdx` → `/sliding-window`) and the hidden flag drops the duplicate row.

Two classifications, two homes: the sidebar group is the README topic (`readmeTopics()`, first listing wins for a problem under two topics; a warm-up outside the plan groups under its category at `order: 0`, ahead of topic 1) and the badge is the `work/1/<Difficulty>/<Category>/` category — topic folders and their `meta.ts` are rewritten every run, a page is `rename`d when its topic changes, and a folder every page has left is deleted unless it still holds a hand-written `index.mdx` (sync never writes, moves, or deletes one). Never use `(group)` folders here: they add no route segment, so a topic `index.mdx` inside one collides with the root `/`. The two hand-owned sections around the solution have their own owners: `## Approach` (a Mermaid flowchart tracing the page's code, placed *before* `## Solution` so a re-sync keeps it) is written per the `problem-approach` skill (`/problem-approach` fills every page missing one); `## Explanation` (the NeetCode `<YouTube>` embed, after `## Solution`) is appended by `bun run videos --write` (`apps/cli/videos.ts`).
+- `apps/cli/sync.ts` — work→docs contract: on existing pages only the frontmatter `icon:` and the `## Solution` section are regenerated, and `topics:` (LeetCode's `topicTags` as `{ name, slug }`, fetched by GraphQL) is filled once — on create, or on any run that finds it missing — never refreshed (delete the key to refetch; offline, the page is written without it and the next sync retries). `## Solution` is the latter bounded by `solutionEnd()` at the next unfenced top-level heading; human prose before it and any sections after it are never touched. Never hand-write solution pages or edit inside `## Solution`. Two classifications, two homes: the sidebar group is the README topic (`readmeTopics()`, first listing wins for a problem under two topics; a warm-up outside the plan groups under its category at `order: 0`, ahead of topic 1) and the `work/1/<Difficulty>/<Category>/` category, which only places an unplanned problem — the page's topic badges are LeetCode's tags, not either classification. Topics nest under their README phase (`## Phase N — Name` headings, shortened via `PHASE_ALIASES`): `content/(0N-<phase>)/<topic>/`. The topic `meta.ts` is script-owned and rewritten every run (label, curriculum order, `TOPIC_ICONS` icon, `display: "group"`); the phase `meta.ts` is written once when missing (`Phase N: Name`, `order: N`) and hand-owned after — rename its title freely. Never rewriting it loses nothing: its order and name are also the folder name, so a README change to either lands in a new folder with a fresh meta. The phase folder is a Blume `(group)` — no route segment, so `/tree-dfs` is unchanged and a landing page there is one level deep, never at `/` — and the topic folder is the real segment; never put a topic `index.mdx` directly inside a `(group)`. A page is `rename`d when its topic or phase changes; a folder every page has left is deleted (climbing into an emptied phase folder) unless it still holds a hand-written `index.mdx` (sync never writes, moves, or deletes one — so page-relative asset paths in a moved landing page are yours to fix). Slugs come from `slugify()`, which glues a leading number to the next token (`1d-dynamic-programming`) because Blume strips `<digits>-` prefixes from routes. The hand-owned parts have their own owners: `## Approach` (a Mermaid flowchart tracing the page's code, placed *before* `## Solution` so a re-sync keeps it) is written per the `problem-approach` skill (`/problem-approach` fills every page missing one); the frontmatter `video:` (the NeetCode walkthrough, rendered as the red `Explanation` badge) is added by `bun run videos --write` (`apps/cli/videos.ts`).
 - `apps/cli/work.ts` — the `work/` layout: bucket paths, `isSolution()`/`solvedInBucket()` (the stub test, shared with `close-solved.ts`), `firstSolved()` (one `git log`, ET dates, keyed by LC number so past layout moves don't matter), and `reviewQueues()` (what each window still owes). Everything that needs to know where a solution file lives, or when it was solved, goes through here.
 - `apps/api/src/stats.ts` / `apps/cli/stats.ts` / `apps/cli/tui.ts` / `apps/cli/api.ts` — the read side. `buildStats()` is the ONE aggregation: phases, ladder, difficulty, per-topic temperature, gates, the 14-day due queue, and `heat` (every campaign day, zeros and future days included — the docs page windows the tail off it rather than asking a second question). Two readers consume it, the docs island and `bun run stats`, so its shape is both their contract: change all three together. `tui.ts` is hand-rolled ANSI (bars, sparklines, heat cells, alternate screen) on charts.ts's palette, and every chart differs by GLYPH as well as by colour so a piped or `NO_COLOR` dashboard still reads. The TUI recomputes nothing: the only local fact it shows is the `work/` solution count, which is inventory, not schedule.
 - `README.md` live charts are Worker endpoints (`/chart/*.svg`, `/badge/gate.svg`, 5-min Camo cache); the docs `/progress` page fetches `/api/stats` client-side (`apps/docs/islands/ProgressDashboard.tsx`).
-- `apps/docs/blume.config.ts` — site base `/leetcode`; `README.md` campaign table doubles as topic-map input to `sync.ts` (`readmeTopics()`, `TOPIC_ALIASES`).
+- `apps/docs/blume.config.ts` — site base `/leetcode`; imports `apps/docs/redirects.ts`, sync-generated (`/<num>` → `/<topic>/<slug>`, one row per page, exact root-relative paths — Blume adds the base and, for the static Pages build, emits a meta-refresh page per rule plus `blume-redirects.json`); `README.md` campaign table doubles as topic-map input to `sync.ts` (`readmeTopics()`, `TOPIC_ALIASES`, `PHASE_ALIASES`).
 - Old `.github/srs/` JSON state, its `srs-*` Actions, and the one-shot `import-srs.ts` importer are RETIRED and deleted — do not resurrect; git history is the record.

+ * (`YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.NNNNNNNNN`, UTC — https://gist.github.com/twolfson/de1b004dd22536b8e668).
+ *
+ * "Finished" is topics.ts's rule — every core sub-issue closed — the same one
+ * close-topics.ts closes the topic issue on, and the version is the instant
+ * the LAST core problem closed. Keying off the sub-issues rather than the
+ * topic issue lets this run as the tail of Close Solved: the push that closes
+ * a topic's final core problem releases it in the same run, without waiting
+ * for close-topics to chain after it. The topic issue itself closes seconds
+ * later, on the same day.
+ *
+ * Each release is a changelog snapshot at that instant: the topic's problem
+ * sub-issues grouped as closed on the finish day (ET), closed earlier, and
+ * open at release, each with its set, difficulty, and the solution files as
+ * they stood in the tagged commit — the last main commit before the finish.
+ *
+ * The tag is annotated and backdated (tagger date = finish), so
+ * `git tag --sort=taggerdate` reads as the campaign's history even for tags
+ * minted by a backfill. The release's own published date cannot be backdated
+ * (the API has no field for it), so the docs changelog dates each entry from
+ * this timever tag instead (`releasesDatedByTag` in apps/docs/blume.config.ts)
+ * — the tag format is that contract.
+ *
+ * Reconciles instead of reacting: every finished topic without a release gets
+ * one, so a first run backfills the whole campaign; an existing release keeps
+ * its tag and commit and only has its body rewritten when render() would say
+ * something else. Re-runs with nothing new are no-ops.
+ * A release is found by the marker comment in its body, never by tag name, so
+ * reopening and re-closing a core problem can never mint a second release.
+ * A tag that exists without its release (a run that died between the two) is
+ * reused, not re-created.
