  Writes all content flags (revenue dips, SEO gaps, publishing misses, channel
  anomalies) to vault/content/open-loops.md and resolves completed items.

## What It Does

Maintains `~/Documents/aireadylife/vault/content/open-loops.md` as the live action list for the content domain. This file aggregates flags from every content op — channel underperformance, revenue declines, SEO drops, publishing gaps, and optimization opportunities — into a single prioritized list that drives the weekly and monthly action agenda.

Receives flags from calling ops and writes them as structured entries with priority marker (🔴 / 🟡 / 🟢), flag type, specific finding, recommended action, and date raised. Before appending new items, scans existing entries for resolvable conditions: a revenue decline flag is resolved if the channel's most recent data shows recovery; an SEO gap flag is resolved if a new piece of content targeting that keyword has been published (check vault/content/00_current/ for new entries); a publishing gap flag is resolved if content has since been published on the flagged platform; a flag explicitly marked resolved by the user. Resolved items are moved to `vault/content/open-loops-archive.md` with a resolution date.

Deduplicates before writing: same SEO keyword, same platform gap, same revenue decline channel — if an existing unresolved entry exists for the same item, updates the date rather than adding a duplicate. After processing, sorts the file: 🔴 first (oldest within tier), 🟡 second, 🟢 third. The file is read by the weekly review op to surface the most urgent 3 action items for the week.

Unlike the business and brand open-loops files, content open-loops also tracks opportunity flags (not just problems) — a high-performing topic area that should be doubled down on, a keyword gap that is a major opportunity, a repurposing opportunity from an existing video. These are flagged as 🟢 info and kept in the file until acted on or archived.

## Triggers

Called at the end of every content op: `aireadylife-content-op-channel-review`, `aireadylife-content-op-revenue-review`, `aireadylife-content-op-seo-review`, `aireadylife-content-op-weekly-review`, and `aireadylife-content-task-flag-seo-gap`.

## Steps

1. Receive flag list from calling op
2. Read vault/content/open-loops.md (or create if it does not exist)
3. For each existing entry: check resolution conditions — revenue recovery, content published, gap filled, explicit resolution; move resolved items to archive
4. Write resolved items to vault/content/open-loops-archive.md with resolution date and note
5. For each new flag: check for duplicate (same keyword/platform/channel); if duplicate exists, update date; otherwise append new entry
6. Apply priority standards: revenue decline >30% MoM = 🔴; publishing gap week 2 = 🔴; SEO drop with opportunity score 8+ = 🔴; everything else follows calling op's suggestion
7. Sort file: 🔴 oldest first, then 🟡 oldest first, then 🟢
8. Write updated file
9. Return summary: "{X} 🔴 urgent, {Y} 🟡 watch, {Z} 🟢 info — {N} items resolved this cycle"

## Error Handling

- If vault/content/open-loops.md does not exist: create with standard header.
- If open-loops-archive.md does not exist: create when first item is archived.
- If no flags received and no items to resolve: write a "no new items" update with the current date.
