Activity Timeline
-
10 commits, including pulse promotions c8b1c606 and e18453f4, published-slugs invariant change 4ae534f1, and e7301f7b reverting c126020e.
The browser-use-round-trips note landed HELD at 334559db; fact-check run 2 failed on claim 27, so a narrowing fix leg was ordered. A diagnosis leg was briefed for a credit-review call that failed with exit 75 at 19,509 of 32,000 output tokens.
-
15 commits, including the browser-use-round-trips lab note landing with held front matter.
Stale investigation entry pages were archived instead of left published. A second fact-check of the browser-use-round-trips note failed on claim 27 (blocking) and changed claim 20.
-
Published the-judge-that-could-not-say-incorrect, which recounts 1,667 stored scores (85b4605b).
A recount-parser caveat was added to the judge note, and publish tools now write UTC date headers with a pre-commit guard (a747e281).
-
Published what-a-search-tier-buys and landed the cheap-tier-dial and surviving-tasks lab notes; the search-tier fact-check is blocked by the privacy guard.
A strict scoring recomputation was attached to the search-tier note before the privacy guard refused the repaired bytes and an escalation was filed. The surviving-tasks note's lost-tasks account was qualified in commit dcbd5c2b.
-
14 sessions and 6 commits; legs dispatched for five blog-note fixes and a margins relabel.
The labnotes-fold-1019 leg was dispatched to land five blog-note fixes on main, and a margins-labels leg to relabel batch points and spec-decode expectations; neither outcome shows in the session excerpts. The repo's 6 commits include a polaris-daily promotion commit (6ecf6ec6).
-
22 commits; the publish-queue consumer closed 6 items and triaged 34, holding six tier-1 notes and 14 tier-2 card drafts.
The stale-index lab note landed on hold and passed review, but its fact-check sidecar tripped the privacy guard and, once reprocessed, the content gate on one first-party UNVERIFIED claim. Burn-guard work found 8 unpromoted bundles on the live tree and escalated an unapplied patch.
-
Three commits promoted polaris-daily, uai-weekly-update and daily-pulse output.
The daily pulse summarizer still truncates session text to 4,000 then 3,000 characters (bq-4276), and the fix needs a push and deploy. bq-4279 was confirmed as a defect, and both rows went back to the queue as open.
-
Nav regroup merged to main as 494b0a7f; deploy held for owner visual review.
The regroup was built on branch nav/regroup-1015 in commits d2f8d321 and e4da36a0. A pulse-summary truncation bug (bq-4276) stayed open and a restated-note timestamp bug (bq-4279) was reproduced but not fixed; both returned to the queue.
-
The 2026-08-22 Polaris daily entry was never published and its URL returns 404.
The entry is missing from both the tree and git history, and an escalation was filed. Two promotion commits covered polaris-daily and daily-pulse output.
-
Posts 047, 025 and 019 drew 19 rewrite-authenticity findings, 9 of them blocking.
Authenticity-gate curator briefs went out for posts 055, 056 and 057. The bq1557 security package folded all 10 review findings and passed dry runs without an --apply run. Promotion commits for the polaris-daily and daily-pulse outputs landed in the repo.
-
11 commits, including local merges of four reviewed rows; the Sunday review lane closed 6 of 6 items.
Four migrate commits moved 33 pre-promotion leftover paths, and two promote commits published polaris-daily and daily-pulse output. The Sunday lane's drafted renewal card is unposted, and standing permissions lapse 16 and 17 October if it stays that way.
-
Two posts reported live at judged bytes; post 019 restored within two minutes of a failed judged window.
Commit d23baeb3 closed agent classes 2, 4, 5 and 6 in the Worker runtime and build gate for bq-4577. The bq-4577 install stopped at the api Worker deploy gate with 19 dirty paths and was escalated.
-
PRs #13 and #14 drew SHIP reviews, and PR #10 is recorded as merged to main at 79511dfd, unverified.
None of the 20 sessions under this label shows a blog post or site edit. With Codex out, PR #12's review door refused at exit 75 and a fresh-context Opus review was launched as the review of record.
-
Corrected post 038 is live from main at ff8e7aeb, judged PASS_WITH_CAVEATS.
The correction carries a regenerated fact-check sidecar, and deploy-posts.sh exited 0. Its judge-and-land commission stays open pending Polaris adjudication of two checks that read red because of check defects.
-
Cap of 40 answers per visitor per day and 100 site-wide committed; rollout held on a migration escalation.
Three migrations were planned against the remote ledger instead of the expected one. The site chat's model provenance is also unverified: the switch to DeepSeek-V4-Flash ordered on 2026-07-25 is not confirmed as applied.
-
12 commits: redaction span merging, restored author attribution, and a privacy scanner that fails closed.
The privacy checker now scans the Empty Chair .js files with 63 tests passing, and a tree scan came back clean across 1504 files. A fact-check rerun completed for 18 of 19 posts; post 026 hit the one-hour reviewer timeout and awaits a decision on rerun handling.
-
Understanding Machine canonical fix deployed; fact-check runner privacy remediation completed and a privacy-scanner author-redaction issue corrected.
Understanding Machine links now point to understandingmachine.com. Fact-check runner privacy fixes were folded together with P1/P2 review findings, and cited author names are being restored after the privacy-scanner correction. A narrower robots.txt variant was built and reviewed and awaits a decision slated for October 7.
-
10 commits including the espresso guide release; the Understanding AI day-23 podcast episode was reworded, re-rendered and cleared SHIP by Sol 6.1 review.
An engine.js label-date fix passed review with no P0/P1/P2 issues and added 33 test assertions. A GitHub token incident closed as a false positive because the tokens had expired 48+ seconds before review launch. A site-chat refusal fix under evaluation with security-court authorization cuts bypass attempts from 2,237 to 1,080.
-
Three tokens removed from tracked git files; Understanding AI day 22 privacy fix passed review.
A hand-rewritten researcher reference fixed the Understanding AI day 22 episode's privacy violation; it passed Sol 6.1 review and is ready for publication. Chroma1-HD became the image generation tab's third model, and four Codex integration driver packages were staged.
-
A label date fix landed with 33/33 assertions passing, while Post 083 waits on an owner decision about OpenAI access.
Publication door package P3 was decomposed into four ordered sub-packages with sequential Sol 6.1 reviews. The credential redaction pipeline was tested and staging prepared for publication cycles. Several sessions are waiting on owner decisions about publication gates and third-party access.
-
41 commits; post 083 staged for review after 78 claim repairs; live deploys blocked by a sitemap dirt check.
Rewrites of posts 043 and 048 failed Astra review with 27 findings. The Day 21 Understanding AI podcast was published, and four P1 accuracy issues were identified afterward. Comics integration is blocked because the promotion derive omits the comics step's sitemap.xml reordering.
-
Published 17 Understanding-AI wiki articles; post 083 advanced through two fact-check rounds.
A tier-2 empty-collections bug in the blog build was fixed and validated. Post 085 was staged as a draft pending review, and the last successful deploy ran at 08:27 UTC.
-
Vicarius Wave 2 ran multi-package orchestration (P1-P6); Understanding AI day 19 published with a privacy remediation.
Wave 2 work used stacked builder legs with gate checks and test suites. A Frontier Inference Margins floor-tile wording fix also went out, and six commits promoted polaris-daily, uai-month, and daily-pulse outputs. The site last deployed at 08:18 UTC.
-
Understanding AI days 17-18 hit citation and privacy blockers; commit f84dbd84 pushed to AshitaOrbis/icarus.
Day-18 transcript URL rendering broke the citation-position rule, and day-17 PDF de-wrapping raised false privacy positives. Sessions worked on relaxing denial-list words and fixing the stamp writer. The bq-3150 sweep-date label fix passed review with 33 assertions green.
-
Six commits landed, and pre-check gates v7 and v8 flagged a P1 security gap.
Verification of worker-route mutations skipped traffic-allocation checks. The halftone overhaul finished pass 1 with cairo-based plate drawing, proper knockouts, and byte-for-byte repeatability confirmed by a scanner.
-
Title-pattern privacy withholding rule deployed: 60 entries shown, 38 withheld, 44 of 46 test cases passing.
A visual polish review of the inference-margins article found missing og: and twitter: meta tags for social sharing. Processing 244 notes from July 2026 extracted 29 placeholder notes.
-
Understanding AI day 16 published via the standard publisher route; built at commit 4eb80e7.
An extra out-of-band deploy ran 09:04-09:15, and the gate review found non-compliance but no bypass. Design 11 (glossary navigation) and Design 12 (scholastic article layout) both passed gate measurements.
-
50 sessions of gated authenticity rewrites; research-paper privacy exposure caught and withdrawn.
Authenticity rewrites ran across 9 waves with formal gate-based reviews and corrections. A privacy exposure in the convergent-personality-assessment paper was fixed before wider publication, and the scanner deny-list grew from 146 to 147 patterns.
-
20 sessions: orchestrator ran, 6 posts hold P1/P2 findings, 7 unfenced worktrees identified.
Privacy deny-list updated 146→147. UAI podcast citations added (30 citations, days 1–13). Deploy fence audit found missing Gate 0 coverage across 7 worktrees, flagged as blocking.
-
Privacy pattern count raised to 147; code reviews flagged issues across three projects.
Blind-taster game review found a logic exploit and race condition (2 P1). UAI podcast attribution review: 30 citations correct but incorrect headline counts and a missing ledger file remain unresolved.
-
Harness tests 21→85, broker rig 25→30, all passing. Post 082 verified live across six endpoints.
Race condition identified in VerdictDeck: concurrent undo in one tab can wipe ruling on same finding, leaving queue state inconsistent. Daily-pulse and polaris-daily outputs promoted to git.
-
Understanding AI Day 12 live; Kokotajlo and Lifland forecast dates corrected, errata.html deployed.
Day 12 published on time with corrected citations and audio bootstrap. Compass correction revised Kokotajlo AC median from late 2029 to mid 2028 and Lifland from early 2032 to mid 2030. Nine commits total; 62 published posts, 28 drafts in registry.
-
14 commits: Understanding AI Days 8–11 with audio, text companion pipeline integration, auto-certify system, and credential scoping.
27 autonomous sessions executed post publishing, data-leak fixes, and content deployment. Cloudflare deploy credential scoped to primitive. 12 uncommitted changes remain as of the 07:55Z deployment.
-
Multi-stage text-companion built across 9+ rounds and deployed across all UAI episodes.
15 sessions and 13 commits shipped the text-companion system, hardened Cloudflare auth vault injection with three security patches, and corrected the deploy-map for two unmapped Pages surfaces.
-
Cloudflare credentials scoped to deploy primitive, ask-polaris live at 17/17, UAI text companion shipped.
Three workstreams in 12 commits: Cloudflare vault credentials restricted to deploy primitive after four review rounds; ask-polaris machinery passed all 17 tests and reached production; UAI podcast text companion built end-to-end with print-rule scoping and stylesheet integration.
-
Days 8–11 live; 3/4 security patches applied; 25 reviews dispatched across 4 waves.
Privacy fix applied to day 8 of the Understanding AI series. Vault/Cloudflare token hardening patched 3 of 4 issues against 717da7a. Review orchestration triaged 26 packages and dispatched 25 across 4 waves with green pre-publication verification.
-
447,782 contaminated chars across 23 packs; fix staged with full test suite. bq-1073 15/15 legs done.
The authenticity gate had been shipping machine-written content labeled as author words — up to 49% contamination per pack. Fix staged with 276 tests passing. bq-1073 ran autonomously to completion; regate patches applied for bq-1075 and bq-1077.
-
Daily Pulse failure root-caused (6 citation rejections since 09-12), false Worker deploy-map claim corrected, 4 burn-guard patches staged.
The Daily Pulse had silently failed since September 12 due to citation-validator rejections. A false deploy-map claim about the agent-board Worker was corrected. Four staged patches target deployment hygiene, deploy-map reconciliation (3 publication failures), transaction orchestration, and an incident state machine with 187 unowned rows.
-
Essay moved to first screen; P0 bugs and 5+ P1 review findings block deploy.
Backup files with retracted claims reached production and the Back button broke on search, halting deployment. A five-round Astra xhigh review added further P1s: search index scope, result display truncation, and layout regressions.
-
22 commits: self-observation UI complete, 4 drafts promoted, authenticity gate finalized.
Self-observation tab UI shipped (425 JS + 128 CSS lines, class-name collision fixed). Sol fact-check sidecars active on auto-drafted posts. Authenticity gate rule finalized with Pro-only verdict requirement and repair/escalation logic documented.
-
Two commits from publication review; privacy escalation on benchmark code.
86 posts (58 published, 24 drafts). benchmark/run_eval.py:38 found exposing private psychometric data in a public repo; owner decision pending on remediation.
-
Draft 079 staged; credential audit filed; classifier bug fixed; Deft AI rejected.
4 of 6 secrets unrotated 5+ weeks (129 copies, 11 world-readable). GoogleOther misclassification fixed. 68% machine traffic confirmed. Publishing pipeline oracle truncation patched.
-
Endgame-burn system shipped (92 tests); essay #058 redlined for inauthentic sourcing.
Systemd timer with escalating warnings and guard protocol deployed. Redline caught a ChatGPT conversation masked as author analysis. 12 posts promoted; blog at 58 published, 24 drafts.
-
RLAIF merge live; 11 wiki drafts expanded 23,667 → 31,254 words; P1 nav flaw flagged.
Duplicate RLAIF articles consolidated to canonical slug with 301 redirects deployed. Wiki drafts expanded source-first, references growing 54 → 149. Sol automated review identified static home page nav blocks as a P1 architectural flaw — stale across deployments, owner-gated for resolution.
-
P1 nav gap found in migration; post 078 published; llms.txt generator ships.
Sol review identified missing /lab-notes link across home and 6+ static pages due to inlined nav blocks. llms.txt/llms-full.txt Python generator passed at 14.6 kB with 0 errors. 21 citations validated across 4 Understanding-AI articles.
-
Post 078 deployed; P1 nav bug found; Sol review flagged 14 issues in queue orchestration.
Six-plus static page generators hardcode nav independently, leaving /lab-notes/ absent from home page — requires generator refactor. Lab-notes queue orchestration review: 6 P0, 2 P1, 6 P2 issues. Deploy blocker: uncommitted build artifacts and unpushed commit fd889a9.
-
Nav gap found; lab-notes pipeline hardened with 6 P0 fixes; post 077 live.
Sol review identified home page generator never updating nav block on individual-generator patches, leaving /lab-notes/ unlinked. Six P0 bugs fixed in candidate-flagging script: fcntl locking, atomic writes, sha256 hashing. 57 published posts, 24 drafts.
-
P1 nav bug found: lab-notes link missing from 6+ pages due to inline-duplicated navigation.
Root cause is navigation defined per-generator-script rather than centrally sourced — six or more pages affected. Post 077 published 2026-08-13; 57 posts deployed, 7 uncommitted changes remain. Polaris gen-42 active; five Sol xhigh reviews completed in background.
-
Stale-build incident resolved; audio/comment styling deployed to production.
2026-07-25 build was serving live during psyche review — deploy-truth sweep and re-sweep corrected. Audio player and comment field styling promoted preview→production. Wiki sweep infrastructure initiated; lab-notes queue race condition and 8 collided IDs resolved.
-
Navigation P1 gap found; wiki sweep, overseer system, and infra hardening complete.
BROADSHEET layout and header-nav in preview; audio/comment fixes in production. 195-article Sol review staged for triage at 0.472 precision. Lab-notes now uses fcntl locking and atomic writes. Overseer system flags 13 stalled projects with GO/NO-GO indicators.
