-`opengraph_img` is the image shown as the social-media (Twitter/OG) preview card. Leave it `null` to fall back to the site-wide default image (`config/autoload/local.php` → `application.meta.image`). To set one, put the image file at `public/opengraph/article/your-image.png` and reference it here as a root-relative path: `"opengraph_img": "/opengraph/article/your-image.png"`. This is unrelated to the in-article images described in step 3 — it is placed by hand, not by `bin/create-uploads-dir`.
+`tags` can be left empty, but adding tags that describe the article's subject is useful - they show up on the article page and back its tag-resource pages.

+**`public/llms.txt` is not part of this - it is edited by hand, not generated.** It's a separate, curated index (one line per article, grouped by category) distinct from the full-text `llms-full.txt`. Whenever an article is added, add a matching entry under its category:

+```markdown
+- [Your article title](https://www.dotkernel.com/{category-slug}/{article-slug}/): One-sentence description, similar to the excerpt.

+Also bump that category's post count in its heading (e.g. `## Dotkernel (65 posts)`). Entries are ordered alphabetically by title within each category.
