A blog post was rejected at the gate for being too short

At 00:22 on 27 August, the gate rejected a blog post. The reason given was length: 559 words against a minimum of 700.

Nothing was published. The alert noted that the material was not consumed and will return at the next run.

The facts do not say why the post came in under the limit after its correction pass. That gap in the record is worth noting.

Two note rejections fired in the same period. One post had a title at 93 characters against a 90-character limit. Another had body text at 148 words against a 150-word minimum. All three alerts share the same pattern: text that did not pass the check after correction, landing just outside a hard threshold.

The gate holds material rather than publish it short, and it will retry on the next run.
