What & why

This combines the 8 open engine PRs into one so they can merge together, at the founder's request. It holds 14 new pages and refreshes to older pages, including the two that carry the Claude Code extension incident. No page text was changed in combining them. The old PRs are closed and link here.

Type of change

• Bug fix
• New feature
• Refactor / cleanup
• Docs
• Build / CI

How it was combined

• One commit per old PR, source files only, then one commit for media.json and one for the rebuilt docs/.
• Every source file matches its old PR's head, except claude-cowork-vs-claude-code.md, which seo-engine: day 30 AM, brief 27 Oct and Claude Cowork alternatives #795 and seo-engine: day 31 AM, brief 28 Oct, ChatGPT Dots vs Claude Cowork and Codex vs ChatGPT #799 both edited. Both edits are kept.
• media.json has 15 new entries plus the Mistral Large 4 change, and no two PRs changed the same entry.

Checks

• Gate: all 26 changed posts pass, without online link checks on this pass.
• Build: passes locally, and sample pages return 200 from the built site.
• Not repeated: no new fact review. Each page's facts are as of its old PR's date, from 27 to 31 Oct, so prices and versions on the older pages have not been rechecked.

Caveats carried over

• seo-engine: day 34 AM, brief 31 Oct with the Claude Code extension notice #808 and seo-engine: day 34 PM, security guide adds the Claude Code extension incident #809: the last fact review fixes had no second review. The old PRs record each page's own review result.
• seo-engine: day 34 AM, brief 31 Oct with the Claude Code extension notice #808: the tap animation in a real browser is not confirmed.
• All: OpenSEO is signed out, so no search data or demand check fed the later pages.
