Spec: Validate Posts Thick Skin Date Fix

Goal

Fix the validate_posts workflow failure caused by malformed metadata in _posts/2026-05-01-thick-skin-sass.md.

Problem

The post front matter currently has a date value that does not match the parser format expected by scripts/validate_posts.py:

• date: 2026-04-23 10:10

That value is missing seconds and the UTC offset. The file is also future-dated, so the validator will require a matching companion snippet in _snippets/.

Proposed behavior

• Update the post front matter date to a valid timestamp format.
• Keep the filename date and front matter date on the same calendar day.
• Add a matching _snippets/2026-05-01-thick-skin-sass.md file with aligned metadata.

Scope

• _posts/2026-05-01-thick-skin-sass.md
• _snippets/2026-05-01-thick-skin-sass.md
• docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-23-validate-posts-thick-skin-date.md

Success criteria

• python3 scripts/validate_posts.py --today 2026-04-23 exits cleanly.
• The post has parseable front matter.
• The future-dated post has a valid companion snippet.
