Christian Nennemann d6beb9c0a0 v0.3.0: Gap-to-Draft pipeline, Living Standards Observatory, blog series
Gap-to-Draft Pipeline (ietf pipeline):
- Context builder assembles ideas, RFC foundations, similar drafts, ecosystem vision
- Generator produces outlines + sections using rich context with Claude
- Quality gates: novelty (embedding similarity), references, format, self-rating
- Family coordinator generates 5-draft ecosystem (AEM/ATD/HITL/AEPB/APAE)
- I-D formatter with proper headers, references, 72-char wrapping

Living Standards Observatory (ietf observatory):
- Source abstraction with IETF + W3C fetchers
- 7-step update pipeline: snapshot, fetch, analyze, embed, ideas, gaps, record
- Static GitHub Pages dashboard (explorer, gap tracker, timeline)
- Weekly CI/CD automation via GitHub Actions

Also includes:
- 361 drafts (expanded from 260 with 6 new keywords), 403 authors, 1,262 ideas, 12 gaps
- Blog series (8 posts planned), reports, arXiv paper figures
- Agent team infrastructure (CLAUDE.md, scripts, dev journal)
- 5 new DB tables, schema migration, ~15 new query methods
