og:image reused extra.featured_image, so a post could not have a 1200x630 social card and a 1920x1080 banner at the same time. Adds an optional extra.og_image that takes precedence, falling back to featured_image and then the site logo, so every existing post is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Madelyn Olson <madelyneolson@gmail.com>
CONTRIBUTING-BLOG-POST.md:61 asks for one sentence per line so reviewers can anchor a suggestion to a single sentence. Three bullets carried two. Rendered output is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Madelyn Olson <madelyneolson@gmail.com>
featured_image is a banner, not an unfurl. Adds og_image so the post unfurls with a card carrying the title, per valkey-io#664. Signed-off-by: Madelyn Olson <madelyneolson@gmail.com>

Clarify the ACL sentence.
The surrounding explanation does not make clear that ACLs should have prevented the affected client from accessing another client's keys or session. Replace it with: “The bytes it returns may belong to another client's keys or session, which ACLs should have prevented that client from accessing.”

The new extra.og_image field overrides extra.featured_image for social previews, but the blog front-matter guide does not describe it or require a site-root-relative value beginning with /. An author can therefore add a relative path that is concatenated into an invalid social-image URL, or miss the intended override entirely. This is non-blocking for this post, but documenting the field, its precedence, and the required path format will prevent broken previews in future posts.
Knowledge Base Used:
Artifacts
- The authored Node and Playwright script reads the candidate and parent template states, README, and changed blog post, then captures before and after rendered metadata; it verifies the missing documentation contract.
- Command, working directory, exit code, and observed JSON output from the executed validation script show the before and after URLs plus all documentation checks; the claim is supported.
- Chromium capture renders the parent-template outcome for the changed blog post, where `og:image` resolves to `extra.featured_image`; this establishes the pre-change behavior.
Before PR 664 featured-image Open Graph metadata
- Poster frame from the before recording shows the rendered `og:image` URL selecting the featured image; it is the baseline.
- Chromium capture renders the candidate-template outcome for the same blog post, where `og:image` resolves to `extra.og_image`; this proves the new precedence behavior.
After PR 664 preferred Open Graph metadata
- Poster frame from the after recording shows the rendered `og:image` URL selecting the distinct `extra.og_image` value; the override works as implemented.

Blog post on how the Valkey project adapted to AI-assisted security reports: what earns an advisory and a CVE, adversarial LLM audits of our own code, and backport automation. Written with @murphyjacob4 and @hpatro.
Has one extra change as well, I wanted to decouple the featured image from the og:image, since I wanted this to have an unfurled image that includes the name.
This was generated by AI but verified, with love, by a human.
