Developer finds diverging tag-truncation bug in own code

A developer discovered a bug in their code where one script, `publish_devto.py`, correctly truncates DEV.to article tags to a maximum of four, while another script, `create_article` on the MCP server, fails to implement this same rule. This divergence was confirmed by testing the `create_article` tool with six tags, which were sent without truncation, unlike the `publish_devto.py` script. The developer notes that this type of bug, where similar functions within the same repository diverge on a rule, has occurred previously. AI
