Gregory Gauthier 65d2e46788 refactor(articles): standardize YAML front-matter across published and draft articles Add consistent front-matter schema to CLAUDE.md and GROK.md, including title, date, topics, related articles, and abstracts. Apply similar front-matter to draft files (agile-stories.md, uses-and-abuses.md) and published articles (Agile-Or-Whatever-You-Call-It.md, Testers-As-Explorers.md, etc.) to improve indexing, searchability, and cross-referencing. Ensure topics use a controlled vocabulary and abstracts capture core theses.		2026-04-07 16:29:10 +01:00
