Root cause: AI models don't know "today's date" and were defaulting to 2024
Changes:
1. Update extract-article-data.ts to accept RSS pubDate parameter
2. Format RFC 2822 dates from RSS feed to YYYY-MM-DD
3. Pass formatted date directly in AI prompt instead of asking for "today's date"
4. Update auto-add-new-articles.ts to pass pubDate from RSS feed
5. Correct 3 existing articles with wrong dates:
- ai-market-research-cfo-scrutiny: 2024-02-14 → 2025-11-10
- leaders-using-ai-daily-scale-3x-faster: 2024-02-13 → 2025-11-10
- team-stopped-questioning-ai: 2024-02-13 → 2025-11-07
Result:
- Future articles will have accurate publication dates from RSS feed
- No longer depends on AI model's knowledge cutoff
- Falls back to system date if RSS feed date is invalid

Changes:
- Update AI extraction prompt to enforce 12-18 word limit per claim
- Change validation from blocking errors to warnings for token length
- Add explicit instruction in AI prompt rules section
Why:
- Auto-generated claims were 20-36 tokens, causing build failures
- AI didn't know about the 12-18 token requirement
- Strict enforcement was blocking automated article additions
- Warnings allow builds to proceed while encouraging fixes
Result:
- Future automated extractions will generate compliant claims
- Builds won't fail if AI occasionally generates 19-20 token claims
- Manual review can still catch and fix outliers

Reduced the frequency of newsletter checks from every 6 hours to once every 24 hours (daily at midnight UTC).
Changes:
- Cron schedule: '0 */6 * * *' → '0 0 * * *'
- Now runs once daily at midnight UTC instead of 4 times per day
Rationale:
- Reduces GitHub Actions usage/costs
- Newsletter posts are typically published once every few days, not hourly
- Daily checks are sufficient for timely content updates
- Manual trigger (workflow_dispatch) still available for immediate updates

Change token length validation from warning to blocking error. The 12-18 token requirement is now strictly enforced during the build process.
Changes:
- Update validation script to treat token violations as errors (not warnings)
- Add clear messaging that builds will fail if claims are outside 12-18 tokens
- Update WORKFLOW.md with warning notices about strict enforcement
- Update quality checklist to emphasize requirement
Impact:
- 14 existing claims currently violate this rule and will need to be fixed
- Future builds will fail until these claims are corrected to 12-18 tokens
- This ensures all new claims maintain optimal length for LLM extraction
Affected articles with violations:
- rockstars-10-billion-ai-secret (3 claims)
- ai-prompt-maps-employee-skill-gaps-one-session (1 claim)
- improve-your-voice-ai-with-assemblyai (1 claim)
