Critical Fixes Deployed to Production

1. Blog Date Serialization Fix

File: src/middleware/response-sanitization.middleware.js Problem: MongoDB Date objects were being spread ({...date}), creating empty {} Fix: Added Date instance check before spreading:

// Preserve Date objects (spreading them creates empty {})
if (data instanceof Date) {
  return data;
}

Status: ✅ Deployed and verified on production

2. Blog Categories Added

Script: scripts/add-blog-categories.js Changes: Added category field to all 6 blogs:

• Framework Updates: 4 blogs
• Implementation: 1 blog
• Case Studies: 1 blog

Status: ✅ Deployed to both dev and production

3. Landing Page Meta Description

File: public/index.html (line 7) Change: Removed unverifiable superlative

FROM: "World's first production implementation of architectural AI safety constraints"
TO:   "Production implementation of architectural AI safety constraints"

Status: ✅ Deployed to production

4. Architecture Page Statistics Disclaimer

File: public/architecture.html (lines 402-425) Change: Added methodology context to quantitative claims

ADDED: "Results from 6-month production deployment:"
ADDED: "*Single-agent deployment. Independent validation and
        multi-organization replication needed."

Status: ✅ Deployed to production
