Publishing a KMP library commits you to every target you listed
Dropping a target in a minor release breaks consumers at resolution time.

Adding a parameter with a default broke the ABI
Source compatibility and binary compatibility are different guarantees, and a default argument preserves only the first.
The post that went to the wrong account
A publication identifier is an optional field that silently defaults. The API reports success either way, so the only way to know is to verify the response.
A status column is wrong within a week
A hand-maintained status field said draft for a hundred posts while sixty-eight were live. State that is stored is a memory; state that is derived is a measurement.
Twenty-four of my tags file exactly one post
Across 219 posts I had 88 distinct tags and 24 appeared exactly once. A tag that gathers one item is a label, and labels do not help anybody find things.
One of the two links is always missing
A syndicated copy links home immediately; the original links out only after a rebuild. The asymmetry means one direction is reliably broken for a while.
The two fields that only exist in the interface
Two SEO fields have no API path on the platform I syndicate to. That single gap is the reason the pipeline stops at a draft instead of going live.
Syndicate to a 404 and you donate the SEO
A canonical that 404s when the syndicating platform fetches it does not transfer authority. Their copy becomes the original, and the order is the whole fix.
Your meta description is cut mid-sentence
A description clipped to a character limit is severed mid-clause. Writing to fit whole is the fix, and the field you edit may not be the one that ships.
The ad slots on this blog are finished and render nothing
Nine ad placements built, gated and verified to render nothing. What you can decide before approval is where ads may go, and that is the decision that matters.
One social card for every post is one card nobody shares
A single site-wide social card passes validation and makes every shared link identical. Per-post cards need generating, verifying, and a scan for the fallback.
