📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

CodeGuard AI article

Layer / File(s)	Summary

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Other

Suggested reviewers: fdelporte

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2bc18

The author profile now exists at the path the frontmatter validator needed, so the earlier author-slug failure looks fixed. This is a content-only change with no runtime impact. I did not run the validator, so confirm that CI passes before merging.
