## TL;DR
- The draft was not malformed by the authoring itself; it was serialized into a one-line escaped text blob during tool handoff.
- The workflow mismatch was between draft capture and file write: the markdown content arrived as escaped text with literal `\n` separators and wrapper artifacts.
- We recovered the draft by stripping wrappers, decoding escape sequences, restoring real line breaks, and then documented the issue as part of the drafting workflow.

## Incident Cards

### 1) One-Line Escaped Markdown Draft
What happened:
- The saved draft file appeared as a single line with literal `\n` sequences instead of real paragraph breaks.

Why it happened:
- The draft came from an OpenClaw/MyClaw handoff mode where text is exposed as raw serialized content rather than normal multi-line markdown.
- That means the write path preserved escape sequences literally instead of decoding them before saving.

Impact:
- The draft looked broken in the editor.
- Markdown preview and normal editing flow became unreliable.
- The content was not in a safe state for review or HTML conversion.

Fix used:
- Verified that the issue was literal escaped content, not just a display problem.
- Removed wrapper artifacts such as a leading `"` and trailing `}` when present.
- Decoded escape sequences so `\n` became real line breaks.
- Re-saved the file as UTF-8.

Prevent next time:
- Treat OpenClaw/MyClaw export as an intake format, not as guaranteed clean markdown.
- Normalize draft files before editing if they arrive from raw tool output.
- Keep the repair script in the drafting workflow, not just publishing docs.

### 2) Workflow Boundary Mismatch
What happened:
- The issue was first documented under publishing even though it occurred before publishing started.

Why it happened:
- The failure became visible while preparing to publish, but the root cause lived in draft ingestion.

Impact:
- The first documentation placement mixed two distinct phases: drafting and publishing.

Fix used:
- Added a dedicated drafting guide at [posts/drafts/DRAFTING.md](../posts/drafts/DRAFTING.md).
- Moved the framing of the problem into drafting standards and pre-publish format repair.
- Left publishing focused on HTML conversion and GitHub deployment.

Prevent next time:
- Ask one question first: did the problem happen before or after HTML conversion?
- If before conversion, document it under drafting.
- If after conversion, document it under publishing.

## Repair Script Used
```powershell
$path = "posts/drafts/your-draft.md"
$raw = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllText($path).Trim()
if ($raw.EndsWith('}')) { $raw = $raw.Substring(0, $raw.Length - 1).TrimEnd() }
if ($raw.StartsWith('"')) { $raw = $raw.Substring(1) }
if ($raw.EndsWith('"')) { $raw = $raw.Substring(0, $raw.Length - 1) }
$decoded = [System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex]::Unescape($raw)
[System.IO.File]::WriteAllText($path, $decoded, (New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding($false)))
```

What the script does:
- Reads the saved file as raw text.
- Removes wrapper noise if the transport added it.
- Decodes escaped content into actual markdown structure.
- Writes the repaired file back without BOM.

## Reusable Validation Checklist
- [ ] Draft file opens as normal multi-line markdown.
- [ ] No literal `\n` remains in the file.
- [ ] Headings render correctly in Markdown preview.
- [ ] Draft review happens only after structural cleanup.
- [ ] Drafting and publishing docs point to the correct phase boundaries.
- [ ] Post and log are both linked from the homepage.

---

## Commands Used for Validation
```powershell
Get-ChildItem posts/drafts | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq 'håll-höjd.md' } | Select-Object Name, Length
```

```powershell
[System.IO.File]::ReadAllText('posts/drafts/håll-höjd.md').Contains('\n')
```

```powershell
git status --short
```

## Workflow Notes
- The draft itself was strong; the issue was purely transport and serialization.
- This is a good example of why draft intake rules need to exist before any content judgment or publishing work begins.
- The drafting guide now documents the accepted draft formats, the failure mode, and the repair path.
