How these are made

Drafts live in docs/articles/_drafts/ (not built). Final articles are generated by scripts/publish-article.mjs, which:

• Calls fal.ai (Flux) for editorial images, with a fixed seed per series for visual consistency
• Renders inline SVG diagrams to PNG via @resvg/resvg-js
• Rewrites the draft markdown with image references pointing at /articles/<slug>/
• Writes the publish-ready markdown to docs/articles/<slug>.md
