+// One-time cleanup: replace every article's slug with a sequential
+// "article-N", ordered by publishedAt (oldest first; drafts, which have no
+// publishedAt, sort after published articles by creation order). Requested
+// explicitly by the site owner, aware this drops the existing descriptive
+// slugs and breaks any already-indexed/shared URLs using them.
+//
+// Two passes with a temporary unique slug in between: assigning final slugs
+// in a single pass can collide with another record's current slug that
+// hasn't been renamed yet (slug has a unique index).
