why add this? This list shouldn't be adding external urls, if its failing, why?

I dug into this and opened #62 with a better solution, so once that's merged you can rebase and remove this to make the PR cleaner

Blog looks solid and can probably go out today as intended, a few nits to clean up first though.

I am fine with the overall piece (didn't do an in-depth review, but nothing beyond what @ajbozarth already mentioned jumped out)

This is g2g, just need to remove the yml edit and rebase now that #62 is merged |

Timely opinion piece riding the current loop engineering wave (Cherny, Steinberger, Osmani) and positioning Mellea's IVR loop and requirements-driven validation as the missing gate primitive. Signed-off-by: Nigel Jones <jonesn@uk.ibm.com>
Drop italic markers from the hashtag footer line in the blog post to satisfy MD036 (no-emphasis-as-heading). Signed-off-by: Nigel Jones <jonesn@uk.ibm.com>

- Restore AlphaSignal quote to verbatim (full sentence) - Add cheap-gate paragraph: checking is narrower than generating, small models and deterministic requirements are enough - Replace origin paragraph with evidence links: Qiskit IVR benchmark (27.8%→50.3%), SOFAI cost routing, small-models-rock pipeline Signed-off-by: Nigel Jones <jonesn@uk.ibm.com>
Signed-off-by: Nigel Jones <jonesn@uk.ibm.com>
- US spelling: optimiser→optimizer, summarisation→summarization - Fix bold/link nesting on Making Small Models Rock link - Remove hashtag footer (belongs on social post, not blog body) - Remove trailing recap paragraph (content already promoted inline) - Update date to 2026-06-11 Signed-off-by: Nigel Jones <jonesn@uk.ibm.com>

lychee auto-discovery of lychee.toml was added in v0.24.0; the action pin is v0.23.0 which requires the flag to be explicit. Signed-off-by: Nigel Jones <jonesn@uk.ibm.com>
CLI --exclude flags override (not merge with) the exclude list in lychee.toml, so the substack entry was being silently dropped while the YAML still passed localhost/mellea.ai/^# inline. Move all four excludes into the config file and drop the inline flags. Assisted-by: Claude Code Signed-off-by: Alex Bozarth <ajbozart@us.ibm.com>

Summary
Timely opinion piece riding the current loop engineering wave — Boris Cherny
(Anthropic), Peter Steinberger, and Addy Osmani's "Loop Engineering" essay (June 2026) —
and positioning Mellea's requirements-driven validation and IVR loop as the missing gate
primitive that every honest take on the topic admits is the hard part.
