Replace the hand-maintained ARTICLE_DATES registry as the source of
truth with dates read from content/ front-matter, so publishing a post
via the CMS needs no manual registry edit (plan R4).
- tools/content_index.py: load_dates() reads content/ front-matter into
{source_folder/slug: {published|modified: iso}}. Standalone (os+yaml),
no import cycle with seo_inject.
- tools/seo_inject.py: ARTICLE_DATES is now {**static_fallback,
**content_dates}; content wins. The static table is kept only as a
fallback for entries not present in content/.
- migration now preserves the published-vs-modified distinction
(date_type), so the switch is byte-identical: content-derived dates
equal the old static table exactly (17/17, incl. the one 'modified').
Verified: full `seo_inject --all --sitemap` + build_listings +
build_botlinks run produces ZERO changes to any site page. build_content
--check still reproduces all 51 pages.
build_botlinks.py needs no change (it scrapes built pages, which are a
pure function of content/). Listings get content-driven dates for free
via seo_inject.ARTICLE_DATES.
tools/tests/test_content_index.py: 5 tests (dates == legacy registry,
merged registry unchanged, published/modified distinction, events key on
projects/<slug>, one ISO date per entry).
