fix blog: deduplicate titles + stable same-day ordering
- Strip leading # heading from markdown body (title already rendered by template as <h1>) — fixes duplicate title on every post page - Sort posts by date descending, then filename slug descending for same-day tiebreaker — fixes unstable/arbitrary same-day ordering

<p>Instead of regenerating the same User model, Status enum, and CRUD handler on every project, what if coding agents had a curated palette of atoms they could select and compose?</p>

<p>I was fascinated. So I built <a href="https://github.com/shift-zero/periodic-table-cli">periodic</a> — a CLI companion for the periodic table.</p>

<p>If you&#39;ve been following the agent-tooling space, you&#39;ve noticed a pattern: everyone is trying to solve the same problem differently. Claude Code has <code>.claude/</code>.

<p>ICM (Van Clief &amp; McDermott, <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.16021">arXiv:2603.16021</a>) replaces orchestration code with folder structure. Numbered folders carry sequencing. Hierarchy carries context scoping. Plain markdown files carry state. One agent, reading the right files at the right moment, replaces a multi-agent framework — and a human can open any folder and see exactly what state the system is in.</p>

<p>It&#39;s beautiful in theory. But how do you know if your workspace actually follows the rules?</p>

<p>That&#39;s what I built today.</p>
