What was done

Implemented Article 1 of the four-article Eagle land-use-intelligence batch planned in .tmp/0004_26_05_11_eagle_article/PLAN.md. The article generalizes Bailey’s Nephi Lane internal evaluation (public/clients/site_evaluation_eagle_2026_05_04/) into a publishable, statistic-dense Council-pattern read that broadcasts research depth without leaking client identity or specific decision recommendations.

  • New article page at src/pages/dev-iq/land-use-intelligence/eagle-cap-compliance.astro. Full draft prose. Author: Ryan Benson (single author, no ZIG research credit per Ryan’s 2026-05-11 instruction — voice shift from the rs4-nampa pattern). Mirrors rs4-nampa structure: quick-answer block, hero-stats trio, named precedent tables, redacted Teaser/TeaserBlock components, missing-block CTA. Adds a one-line disclaimer inside the missing-block: “Planning research, not legal advice — counsel required on application-specific reads.”
  • BaseLayout extension — added articlePublished and articleModified props plus an isLuiArticle path match (/dev-iq/land-use-intelligence/<slug>/). When the match fires and a published date is provided, BaseLayout auto-emits Article JSON-LD with headline, description, datePublished, dateModified, author (Ryan Benson, linked to /about/ryan-benson/), publisher (Bailey Engineering), and image (per-page ogImage if provided, else the default landscape). Schema additions are autonomous-ship-eligible per CLAUDE.md; this match pattern will inherit through future LUI articles (A2 SFA, A3 Mabury, B-1 state-preemption) without additional code.
  • OG image system — placed two custom 1200×630 stat-headline social cards (provided by Ryan via ChatGPT generation, 2026-05-11) at src/assets/og/eagle-cap-compliance.png and src/assets/og/eagle-sfa-low-density.png. The A1 page imports the first, runs it through getImage() for JPG compression at build, and passes the absolute URL via the ogImage prop. A2 will use the second when it ships.
  • Eagle hero aerial — copied the user-provided eagle_idaho.png (1536×1024) to src/assets/projects/eagle-idaho.png. The LUI section index imports it for the new card. A2 and A3 will reuse the same asset.
  • LUI index update — src/pages/dev-iq/land-use-intelligence/index.astro now contains the A1 entry alongside the existing rs4-nampa entry. The city-filter chips activate automatically because articleCities.length > 1 now resolves true (Eagle + Nampa). rs4-nampa retains the featured: true slot; A1 ships as non-featured per the plan’s recommendation to revisit featured-card rotation after A3.
  • /search/ curated sitemap update — added the new URL under the Dev.IQ → Land Use Intelligence column in src/pages/search.astro per CLAUDE.md mandatory rule.
  • Reciprocal Boise cross-link — appended a one-line note at the end of the Boise commissioner-intelligence cluster pointing to the new Eagle article, framing Bailey’s playbook as a multi-city method rather than a single-city one. Strengthens topical-cluster signal for Pagefind and AI crawlers.

Why

User initiated the Eagle land-use-intelligence article workstream on 2026-05-11 via ask file at .tmp/0004_26_05_11_eagle_article/ask.md. The PLAN.md in that same folder documents the four-article scope (A1 cap-compliance, A2 SFA blank spot, A3 Mabury reaction, B-1 state-preemption explainer) plus the Teaser strategy, confidentiality safeguards, SEO trim policy, and cadence considerations. A1 is the first ship — A2 follows in ~7 days, A3 paced by the public record after the 2026-05-12 Mabury hearing, B-1 after A3.

Key constraints applied:

  • No client identity, parcel address, or owner mentioned. Generalizes to “a Park Lane–area parcel” / “any cap-compliant applicant.”
  • Named precedent projects (Whitehurst, Watermark, Tavira, Evian, Reining Horse, Mabury) are public record and stay.
  • Specific Bailey numbers (approval rate, sub-area cap value, time-to-vote) are Teaser-redacted; archive coverage (372/375, 99.2%, 11.5-year span) stays visible because it’s a methodology credential, not a client value.
  • Disclaimer reads “planning research, not legal advice” — keeps Bailey clearly on the planning-analysis side of the counsel boundary, especially around the state-preemption forward-look paragraph.
