The animated t-SNE 'embedding landscape' added no real analytical value and
its cumulative-by-month logic was inherently confusing (ancient drafts
appearing late in the animation). Removed entirely rather than maintained.
Drops the /timeline route, template, nav link, data builder
(get_timeline_animation_data / _compute_timeline_animation_data) and its test.
The Overview mini-timeline and /api/timeline (separate features) are untouched.
After the chronological-order fix the page opened on the earliest month
(1995-12), showing only a handful of same-colored dots while the legend
listed every category — looked broken.
- Initialise the plot on the LAST frame (full landscape); Play now replays
the build-up from the start (fromcurrent: false), slider starts at the end.
- Make _extract_month robust: year-only / junk dates (ISO/ETSI 'time' like
'2015/CD Amd 2', bare '2023', '') no longer yield malformed month labels
('2015-/C') or a garbled 'unknown' frame badge.
- Drop undated docs from the temporal animation (they remain on /landscape).
At the full initial frame every category has points, so the legend matches
what is drawn.
The animated t-SNE landscape delivered points in embedding-dict order, not
chronological order. The front-end cumulative filter (p.month <= frame) then
inserted new points mid-array between frames, so Plotly's index-based frame
transition animated existing markers flying to other drafts' coordinates.
Visible symptom: a couple of points jumping around instead of a growing map.
Sorting points by (month, name) makes each frame's per-category marker list
an append-only prefix of the next, so transitions only add markers.
Verified on the live DB: 188 non-append-only frame transitions before, 0 after.
Blog drafting section (dev-only):
- BlogDraftGenerator gathers project data (gaps, proposals, stats) as
context and calls Claude to produce Medium-style blog posts
- DB schema: blog_drafts table with title, content, tags, cost tracking
- Web UI: list, generate (async with live preview), detail (rendered +
source toggle), edit, and export routes
- 6 writing styles: deep-dive, overview, opinion, listicle, comparison,
series-post
- Nav link added to sidebar under Proposals
Bug fixes found via route testing (scripts/test_all_routes.py):
- /authors/<id>: Draft.status → Draft.states (correct attribute name)
- /false-positives: add missing `import re` in ratings.py

Constants were defined in the old monolithic data.py but not carried
over to data/analysis.py during the split, breaking /trends page.

- Author detail page (/authors/<person_id>): shows author info, all drafts
with ratings, and co-authors with shared draft counts. Public route.
- Idea detail page (/ideas/<idea_id>): shows idea metadata, source draft,
and top-5 most similar ideas via embedding cosine similarity. Admin route.
- Gap detail page: added "Related Drafts" section that finds drafts by
extracting draft names from evidence text and searching by topic keywords.
- Updated author links across templates to use /authors/<person_id> URLs.
- Added DB methods: get_author_by_id, get_author_drafts, get_coauthors.
- Extended top_authors to include person_id (5th tuple element).
