+# HVAC Know It All Content Aggregation - Claude Assistant Notes
+
+## Project Overview
+This system aggregates content from 6 sources for the HVAC Know It All brand, converting everything to specification-compliant markdown for consistent formatting and searchability.
+
+## Key Implementation Details
+
+### 1. HTML/XML Cleaning (2025-08-18)
+- **Issue**: WordPress content contained HTML tags (`<br />`) and JavaScript code in markdown output
+- **Solution**: Enhanced `base_scraper.py::convert_to_markdown()` to:
+  - Remove script/style blocks before conversion
+  - Strip inline JavaScript event handlers
+  - Clean up br tags and excessive blank lines
+  - Fix malformed comparison operators that look like tags
+- **Result**: All markdown now specification-compliant without HTML contamination
+
+### 2. Instagram Rate Limiting (2025-08-18)
+- **Issue**: Initial scraping at 100 posts/hour was too slow for 1000+ items
+- **Solution**: Optimized `instagram_scraper.py`:
+  - Increased rate to 200 posts/hour
+  - Reduced delays from 15-30s to 10-20s
+  - Extended breaks every 10 requests instead of 5
+- **Result**: 100% speed improvement while maintaining stability
+
+### 3. TikTok Caption Enhancement (2025-08-18)
+- **Issue**: Profile page scraping missed video captions
+- **Solution**: Implemented hybrid approach in `tiktok_scraper_advanced.py`:
+  - Fetch video IDs from profile page (fast)
+  - Optionally fetch captions from individual video pages
+  - Configurable caption fetch limit for performance
+- **Result**: Complete content capture with captions for key videos
+
+### 4. NAS Synchronization (2025-08-18)
+- **Issue**: Initial implementation synced logs instead of media files
+- **Solution**: Updated `orchestrator.py` to sync:
+  - `/markdown_current/` and `/markdown_archives/` directories
+  - `/media/` directory with all downloaded assets
+- **Result**: Proper backup of content and media to network storage
+
+## Production Deployment Status
+
+### Completed Backlogs (as of 2025-08-18 23:15 ADT)
+- **WordPress**: 139 posts ✅
+- **Podcast**: 428 episodes ✅
+- **YouTube**: 200 videos ✅
+- **MailChimp**: SSL error (provider issue, not code)
+- **Instagram**: 50/1000 posts (in progress, ~200/hr)
+- **TikTok**: Queued after Instagram
+
+### System Configuration
+- **Environment**: Ubuntu with display support for TikTok
+- **Scheduling**: systemd timers at 8AM and 12PM ADT
+- **Dependencies**: UV package manager
+- **Monitoring**: Custom dashboard and alerts
+
+## Specification Compliance
+
+All content follows this markdown format:
+```markdown
+# ID: [unique_identifier]
+## Title: [content_title]
+## Type: [blog_post|podcast|video|post]
+## Author: [author_name]
+## Publish Date: [ISO_date]
+## [Additional metadata fields]
+## Description:
+[Full content description]
+--------------------------------------------------
+```
+
+## Testing Commands
+
+```bash
+# Quick test all sources
+uv run python quick_backlog_test.py
+
+# Test WordPress HTML cleaning
+uv run python test_wordpress_clean.py
+
+# Full production backlog capture
+uv run python production_backlog_capture.py
+
+# Resume Instagram/TikTok capture
+uv run python resume_instagram_capture.py
+
+# Validate production setup
+./validate_production.sh
+```
+
+## Known Issues
+
+1. **MailChimp SSL Error**: Provider's SSL certificate issue, not fixable in code
+2. **Instagram Rate Limits**: Even at 200/hr, 1000 posts takes ~5 hours
+3. **TikTok Display Requirement**: Must run with DISPLAY=:0 for headed browser
+
+## Maintenance Notes
+
+- Always check Instagram session validity before large captures
+- Monitor rate limit effectiveness in logs
+- Verify markdown formatting after WordPress updates
+- Test TikTok with display before production runs
