 Make an explicit pick decision **every run** — the pick is a daily editorial call, not a side effect of publishing reviews:
 
 - **The pick must be uncontroversial — it's the front page.** The homepage hero greets every visitor out of context, so keep it broadly, unmistakably benign. Never pick anything that could read as endorsing or depicting harm: weapons or anything that cuts, burns, or explodes; anything dangerous or injury-prone; how-to's for any of that; horror or disturbing media; or anything that could be taken as a call to negative action. (A knife is a bad pick.) Such items can still be finds and reviews — they just never get the hero. If your strongest candidate trips this, take the strongest one that doesn't, and note the swap in the digest.
+- **No camping gear in the hero.** Camper trailers and other camping equipment never take the pick — they stay eligible as finds and (occasionally) reviews, just not the front page. If the strongest candidate is camping gear, take the strongest one that isn't.
 - Candidates: reviews graduated this run plus the existing review pool.
 - "Strongest" = best hero visual + broadest audience appeal; when torn, the one whose virtue is most immediately legible from the tile.
 - New reviews usually win (freshness matters on a daily site), but a weak new review must not displace a strong current hero.

 - **`EDITORIAL.md` is the voice charter** — concise, to the point, inspiring delight (through specificity, never ad copy); word budgets per copy type. All audience-facing prose follows it; the pipeline runs a fresh-eyes copy-edit stage over each day's new copy.
 - **No tobacco or alcohol content** — hard editorial exclusion at every stage: never captured as finds, never selected into new bundles, never graduated to reviews. A few legacy alcohol finds (May–July 2026) stay published and keep their existing bundle spots, but they're ineligible for anything new.
+- **No camping equipment as pick of the day** — camper trailers and other camping gear are fine as finds and occasional reviews, but never take the homepage hero.
+- **Editorial rules are forward-looking** — what's published stays published; new exclusions apply only to future picks/finds/bundles/reviews, never to retroactive edits or unpublishing.
 - Review heroes are auto-discovered from `src/content/reviews/<slug>/hero.<ext>` (`src/lib/hero.ts` glob) — name the file `hero.*`; no registration.
 - The homepage "pick of the day" is `src/data/pick.json` (`{"hero": "<review-slug>"}`); falls back to the latest review.
 - Find slugs are globally unique although folders are date-bucketed; URLs stay flat at `/find/<slug>/`.
