April 20-21 Snippet Batch Implementation Plan

Goal

Move the six unblogged April 20 and April 21, 2026 Obsidian snippets into Jekyll posts, schedule them from 2026-04-25 through 2026-04-30, and sync the source notes back to blogged state.

Checklist

• Confirm the seven eligible source notes and their created-time order.
• Keep the work on the feat/apr-20-21-snippet-migration branch.
• Generate _posts/2026-04-25-*.md through _posts/2026-04-30-*.md in created-time order.
• Generate matching _snippets/2026-04-25-*.md through _snippets/2026-04-30-*.md.
• Preserve the snippet body text exactly.
• Set each post date to 05:00 PT on its scheduled day.
• Sync the Obsidian source notes so is_blogged: true and blogged_at match the scheduled publish time.
• Run post validation against the staged changes.
• Review the diff for accidental body or front-matter drift.
• Commit, push, and open a PR that references issue #243.

Execution Notes

• Read the source note files directly from the vault if the Obsidian CLI is unavailable.
• Use the repo’s existing link-post conventions for title prefixes and body shape.
• Keep the date mapping monotonic. Do not let a later-created note jump ahead of an earlier one.
• If the repo still lacks scripts/migrate_snippets.py, use the same front-matter contract with a local batch transform so the result stays compatible with the validator.

Verification

• Confirm six files were created in _posts/.
• Confirm six files were created in _snippets/.
• Confirm the file dates run from 2026-04-25 through 2026-04-30.
• Confirm every scheduled post has a 12:00:00 +0000 front-matter timestamp.
• Confirm the source notes in Obsidian were updated with is_blogged: true and the matching blogged_at.
