📝 Notes
The backlog capture is proceeding as expected. Instagram's slow progress is normal and expected behavior due to their anti-bot measures. The system is properly creating markdown files in the specification-compliant format for each completed source.
All markdown files contain:
- Complete metadata for each item
- Proper formatting and structure
- Searchable content
- Timestamps and unique IDs
The production deployment scripts are ready:
