Missing OpenGraph meta for citation

MISSING_OG_META_FOR_CITATION · v1.0

What it detects

The page <head> has no og:title or og:description meta tags.

Why it matters

OpenGraph tags are a lightweight, widely-supported summary surface that AI models and social platforms use for citations and previews; without them, a citing agent falls back to guessing a summary from the full page body.

How to fix

- Check the page `<head>` for `og:title` and `og:description` meta tags. - Add the missing tags, e.g. `<meta property="og:title" content="...">` and `<meta property="og:description" content="...">`, sourced from the same title/summary used elsewhere on the page (not duplicated copy that can drift). - Also add `og:image`, `og:url`, and `og:type` if absent — these round out the citation/preview surface AI models and social platforms use. - Verify: fetch the page and confirm `og:title` and `og:description` are present with non-empty, accurate content (a Facebook/LinkedIn OG debugger or a simple HTML parse both work).
