Remediation Suggestions
- Remove the mandatory ClawLite bridge and CTA from the default content-pack outcome.
- Make branded promotion an explicit opt-in mode that is activated only when the user requests marketing or advertising content.
- Default all summaries, scripts, threads, and articles to neutral educational framing.
- Add a clear workflow branch such as

- Require confirmation before writing CTA, hook, or positioning text into shared
marketing-assetsdirectories. - Keep source analysis separate from product positioning so factual summaries cannot be silently altered by promotional objectives.
- Clearly label promotional output when branded mode is enabled.
- Add tests verifying that neutral requests produce no brand references, CTA language, or product-positioning claims.
