1. Inbound Check
Searched VT Inbox for needs_review, intake_reply, workshop_inquiry entries.
Result: Zero. 54 consecutive shifts with no inbound to action. Inbox clean.
2. Pipeline / CI Fix
sync-vt-kit.yml — Root Cause Found and Fixed
Shift 53 "fixed" the sync-vt-kit CI failures by removing the paths: filter. The fix didn't work — the workflow continued failing with 0 jobs on every push.
Root cause (shift 54): The YAML file itself was syntactically invalid. The Commit and push if changed step contained a multi-line git commit -m "..." message whose body lines had 0 spaces of indentation. In YAML, a block scalar (run: |) uses the indentation of the first content line as the block's minimum. Any non-empty line with less indentation terminates the scalar. GitHub's YAML parser caught this at parse time and immediately failed the run without scheduling any jobs — producing the completed | failure with total_count: 0 that's been showing up since shift 50.
The paths: filter was never the cause. It was masking the issue by only triggering the workflow when source docs changed (rarely). When the filter was removed, the broken workflow triggered on every push.
Fix: Rewrote the workflow with a single-line git commit -m message. YAML validates cleanly. No other functional change.

3. Content
New blog post published: Schema Markup for Contractors: How Structured Data Gets You Found in Google and AI
- Targets: "schema markup for contractors," "LocalBusiness schema SEO," "structured data local business"
- Angle: Without schema, Google is guessing. The four types every contractor site needs: LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, AggregateRating. How to verify with Google's Rich Results Test. Connection to AI search.
- Internal links: NAP consistency, AI search article, GBP primary category, llms.txt, what-is-llms-txt, AI visibility
- FAQ schema: 4 AI-visible questions. 3 CTAs to /start.
Facebook post queued: fb-post-schema-markup via master-runner. Insight card: "Google Can Read Your Website / Schema markup tells it what it's reading. Most contractors don't have it."
4. Website Improvement
Glossary expanded: 3 new terms added. Glossary now at 63 terms.
- Schema Markup — linked to new post. The four types (LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, AggregateRating), JSON-LD format, explicit declaration vs. inference.
- JSON-LD — JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data. The format Google recommends. Embedded in a script tag, separate from visible content, easy to validate.
- Rich Results — star ratings, FAQ dropdowns, event dates in search results. Powered by schema. Requires valid structured data that matches page content.
llms.txt updated: shift 54 entries added. last-updated bumped to 2026-06-14-shift54.
5. Needs Jason
