Funder Corpus First Session Failed — 75 markdown files across 15 of 96 funders, six hours invested, multiple workflow failure modes catalogued for tomorrow's restart
An end-of-day shipping note that is not about success. The reach-edu funder content corpus workflow was supposed to land tonight against the 96-row Master-Pipeline-Tracker. Final state: 75 markdown files written across 15 funder subdirectories under `clients/reach-edu/corpus/`. 81 of 96 funder records have zero corpus content. The operator's framing at session-end: 'this is all fucking bullshit, nothing is working the way it should, I was only able to process like 1/3 of the plausible records.' This changelog is the honest version. The goals spec landed (Funder-Content-Corpus-Workflow.md, eight rules + six-step workflow), the implementation rebuild against it landed in code (content-ingest service, Content Reader UI, pack honors operator curation, dispatch refuses invalid URLs, fire_id stamping), and 25 broken-URL rows were force-repaired across 5 promotion generations. But the end-to-end validation — fix URLs, re-fire entity-blog, evaluate fresh data — never happened because the session consumed itself patching display-layer symptoms of yesterday's broken-pack-broken-URL data instead of producing fresh clean data via a re-fire. The honest accounting: substantial code shipped, partial data landed, root causes mostly unfixed, eight named failure modes documented in `context-v/issues/Funder-Corpus-First-Session-Failed-Most-Records-Unprocessable.md` for morning-self to attack as a punch list.
