One-line bug silently broke Open Graph cards on 836 pages
A developer discovered that a single line of code using slice(0,60) was cutting social preview text mid-word for a month. The bug affected 836 pages across multiple languages because it was in a shared template. The naive fix of cutting at the last space fails for CJK languages that lack word separators.

This is a cautionary tale about how invisible, shared template bugs can silently affect every page, and why naive string truncation is not a universal solution.
