What landed

obot.roadmap

• A session record destroyed on 27 July is back, named by its boundary — obot.roadmap#250
• A config count older than six hours says how old it is — obot.roadmap#249 · refs #247
• The briefing exists, at one URL, in ten lines, with the ask first — obot.roadmap#248 · refs #247
• The checker cannot mistake an example of the block for the block
• The hub says what nobody approved, and counts the 74 that say he did
• The attribution line names the author, and stops asserting a review it cannot show
• The unattended lane: two audit rules, and the one they deliberately do not fire on
• The question an agent actually has, answered in one command
• An approval a requirement claims must resolve to a record the filer did not write
• The hub's write instructions name the identity, not just the command
• The goal page holds at 390px, and its labels read as English
• An optional step that hangs is still a blocked deploy
• D0020: four false statements taken off the published page
• D0020: the workstreams cover the goal, minus one deliberate gap
• One information architecture, two audiences — the shared spine, and a boundary the build cannot cross — obot.roadmap#245
• D0020: record his two answers — the orphans, and the name

obot.agent

• A day with activity gets its diary entry the morning after, not never — obot.agent#218 · refs #202
• A count is never stated about a source nobody read, and the page says when its readers have been replaced — obot.agent#217 · refs #215
• 07:00 arrives whether or not anyone is awake, and a stopped clock says so — obot.agent#216 · refs #204
• Your dashboard could not read the machine it describes, and called that an empty list — obot.agent#213 · refs #206
• The day boundary is written again, and its absence stops being silent — obot.agent#214 · refs #201
• A worker is told a requirement is not an approval, and given the command that says what is — obot.agent#211
• A quiet night is provably quiet: the morning fold decides whether there is anything to say — obot.agent#208
• A blocked state derived from a session's own prose no longer wakes anyone or closes anything — obot.agent#199 · refs #176, #177
• The README describes the tabs this page actually has — obot.agent#196 · refs #203
• The dashboard and the hub carry the same four names, in the same order — obot.agent#195 · refs #203
• A test fixture is not a role: the launcher stops spawning, and the band stops believing a name — obot.agent#194 · refs #188
• The page says when it restarted, which is what the requirement asked for — obot.agent#193
• Say what the restart rescued him from, not just that one happened — obot.agent#192
• The checkout tracks main, and the consumers that read it restart — obot.agent#189
• The fleet manager is the admiral: prime, admiral and nav — obot.agent#187
• Make the OVERDUE flag clearable, and watch the roles that must exit — obot.agent#184
• Agents tab: a task tag in the row, times on the dates, and one local day boundary — obot.agent#183

🙋 ToDo

• 12 config items are open on the local list — the count only; the list never leaves the machine.
