An auto-link extractor built into a write tool returned zero links even when wikilinks were clearly present in the content. The fix was to switch from implicit post-hook links to explicit link calls in a separate pipeline phase. Implication: any 'automatic' post-processing that runs as a side effect of a primary operation is untrustworthy and should be promoted to a first-class explicit step.
