Owns the title and dek as their own craft problem, separate from the body.

## Steps

1. Read the draft body (or the thesis, if drafting hasn't started yet).
2. Read the titles and deks of a few existing posts in `app/posts/` as the calibration set. Note what they actually do: titles are plain or use a colon-subtitle, never clickbait; deks are one real sentence carrying the argument or stakes, not marketing copy (e.g. "There's no single 'best school' — only the right school for a particular kid, family and stage, and the honest answer changes as all three do.").
3. Produce 3–4 title options, each with a matching dek, and mark which pairing you'd actually pick and why.
4. Remember the dek isn't a summary tucked away in meta tags — it renders directly under the title on the post page and in the home list, and is what shows up in `/llms.txt`. It has to stand on its own for someone who reads only that line.
