Workflow

Step 1: Check if digest already exists for date

cd /Users/mattbruce/Documents/Projects/OpenClaw/Web/blog-backup/scripts
BLOG_MACHINE_TOKEN="21719c689a355e40b427a35c548b28699bd7c014aac4d23f5c1bbb122bbb9878" \
BLOG_API_URL="https://blog.twisteddevices.com/api" \
./blog.sh status YYYY-MM-DD

If exists → Skip.

Step 2: Research each category using Tavily
