My entire weekly spread bled through the page after I switched to a new fountain pen ink, a 'permanent' black one called Platinum Carbon Black.

I had to carefully cut out the ruined pages and glue in new ones, which took me over an hour last Sunday, so what's a truly bulletproof ink that won't wreck my Leuchtturm notebook?

Ugh, that's the worst. Had the same thing happen with a "waterproof" ink last year. Ruined a whole project spread. Ghosted right through the Leuchtturm paper like it was nothing. Switched to De Atramentis Document Ink. That stuff is solid. No bleed, no feathering, even on cheaper paper. Been using it for months now with zero issues.

Wait, Leuchtturm paper? I thought their newer notebooks had more ghosting issues in general, not just with ink. Did you have an older one?
