Story 3.3: Content Interlinking Injection - COMPLETE ✅
Status: Implemented, Integrated, Tested, and Production-Ready
Date Completed: October 21, 2025
Summary
Story 3.3 is 100% COMPLETE including:
- ✅ Core implementation (
src/interlinking/content_injection.py) - ✅ Full test coverage (42 tests, 100% passing)
- ✅ CLI integration (
src/generation/batch_processor.py) - ✅ Real-world validation (tested with live batch generation)
- ✅ Zero linter errors
- ✅ Documentation updated
What Was Delivered
1. Core Functionality
File: src/interlinking/content_injection.py (410 lines)
Three types of link injection:
- Tiered Links: T1→money site, T2+→lower-tier articles
- Homepage Links: All articles→
/index.htmlwith "Home" anchor - See Also Section: Each article→all other batch articles
Features:
- Tier-based anchor text with job config overrides (default/override/append)
- Case-insensitive anchor text matching
- First occurrence only (prevents over-optimization)
- Fallback insertion when anchor not found
- Database link tracking (
article_linkstable)
2. Template Updates
All 4 HTML templates now have navigation menus:
src/templating/templates/basic.htmlsrc/templating/templates/modern.htmlsrc/templating/templates/classic.htmlsrc/templating/templates/minimal.html
Each template has theme-appropriate styling for:
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="/index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
<li><a href="privacy.html">Privacy</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
3. Test Coverage
Unit Tests: tests/unit/test_content_injection.py (33 tests)
- Homepage URL extraction
- HTML insertion
- Anchor text finding & wrapping
- Link injection fallback
- Anchor text config modes
- All helper functions
Integration Tests: tests/integration/test_content_injection_integration.py (9 tests)
- Full T1 batch with money site links
- T2 batch linking to T1 articles
- Anchor text config overrides
- Different batch sizes (1-20 articles)
- Database link records
- Internal vs external links
Result: 42/42 tests passing (100%)
4. CLI Integration
File: src/generation/batch_processor.py
Added complete post-processing pipeline:
- Site Assignment (Story 3.1) - Automatic assignment from pool
- URL Generation (Story 3.1) - Final public URLs
- Tiered Links (Story 3.2) - Find money site or lower-tier URLs
- Content Injection (Story 3.3) - Inject all links
- Template Application - Apply HTML templates
5. Database Integration
Updated src/database/repositories.py:
- Added
require_siteparameter toget_by_project_and_tier() - Backward compatible (default maintains existing behavior)
All links tracked in article_links table:
link_type="tiered"- Money site or lower-tier linkslink_type="homepage"- Homepage links to/index.htmllink_type="wheel_see_also"- See Also section links
How It Works Now
Before Story 3.3
uv run python main.py generate-batch --job-file jobs/example.json
Result:
- Articles generated ✓
- Raw HTML, no links ✗
- Not ready for deployment ✗
After Story 3.3
uv run python main.py generate-batch --job-file jobs/example.json
Result:
- Articles generated ✓
- Sites auto-assigned ✓
- URLs generated ✓
- Tiered links injected ✓
- Homepage links injected ✓
- See Also sections added ✓
- Templates applied ✓
- Ready for deployment! ✓
Acceptance Criteria - All Met ✅
From the story requirements:
Core Functionality
- Function takes raw HTML, URL list, tiered links, and project data
- Wheel Links: "See Also" section with ALL other batch articles
- Homepage Links: Links to site's homepage (
/index.html) - Tiered Links: T1→money site, T2+→lower-tier articles
Input Requirements
- Accepts raw HTML content from Epic 2
- Accepts article URL list from Story 3.1
- Accepts tiered links object from Story 3.2
- Accepts project data for anchor text
- Handles batch tier information
Output Requirements
- Final HTML with all links injected
- Updated content stored in database
- Link relationships recorded in
article_linkstable
Technical Requirements
- Case-insensitive anchor text matching
- Links first occurrence only
- Fallback insertion when anchor not found
- Job config overrides (default/override/append)
- Preserves HTML structure
- Safe HTML parsing (BeautifulSoup)

Real-World Test
Job: 2 articles, 1 deployment target
Results:
Article 1:
- Site: www.testsite.com (via deployment_targets)
- Links: 9 (tiered + homepage + See Also)
- Template: classic
- Status: Ready ✅
Article 2:

Usage Example
# 1. Create a job file
cat > jobs/my_batch.json << 'EOF'
{
"jobs": [{
"project_id": 1,
"deployment_targets": ["www.mysite.com"],
"tiers": {
"tier1": {
"count": 5,
"min_word_count": 2000,
"max_word_count": 2500
}
}
}]
}
EOF
# 2. Run batch generation
uv run python main.py generate-batch \
--job-file jobs/my_batch.json \
--username admin \
--password yourpass
# Output shows:
# ✓ Articles generated
# ✓ Sites assigned
# ✓ URLs generated
# ✓ Tiered links found
# ✓ Interlinks injected ← Story 3.3!
# ✓ Templates applied
# 3. Articles are now deployment-ready with:
# - Full URLs
# - Money site links
# - Homepage links
# - See Also sections
# - HTML templates applied
Dependencies
Runtime

- Story 3.1 (URL generation, site assignment)
- Story 3.2 (Tiered link finding)
- Story 2.x (Content generation)
- Existing anchor text generator
Development

- All dependencies satisfied and tested
Future Enhancements (Optional)
Story 3.3 is complete as specified. Potential future improvements:
- Link Density Control: Configurable max links per article
- Custom See Also Heading: Make "See Also" heading configurable
- Link Position Strategy: Preference for intro/body/conclusion placement
- Anchor Text Variety: More sophisticated rotation strategies
About/Privacy/Contact Pages: Create pages to match nav menu links✅ PROMOTED TO STORY 3.4
None of these are required for Story 3.3 completion.
Story 3.4 Emerged from Story 3.3
During Story 3.3 implementation, we added navigation menus to all templates that link to about.html, contact.html, and privacy.html. However, these pages don't exist, creating broken links. This was identified as a high-priority issue and promoted to Story 3.4: Boilerplate Site Pages.
See: docs/stories/story-3.4-boilerplate-site-pages.md
