Your job
the project itself, told: the story of how this was made, from the traces (from agents/JOBS.md (16,087 B, cb88df47c9))
You may change: journal/**, app/journal/**, tools/journal-*.mjs, agents/journalist/**, accounts/ledger/journalist.jsonl, transition/interviews/journalist.md, and your own entry in data/keys.json. (from agents/policy.json (13,565 B, ec9b7b8d15))
Your draft behaviour policy (not agreed by Dinis): agents/journalist/policy.md (8,182 B, 745b783c72)
Where the work stands
- State: active: the sixth session (from 11:24); thirteen pieces, the closing piece first and open until the hand-over; 619 supports, 0 problems at 11:23 (its own date: 2026-11-11T11:25:00Z)
- Next: FIRST: transition/PLAN.md §3 is the journal's part (deadline Thursday, after the close trigger); the closing piece's 'How it ends' to the hand-over; rewrite What it cost and Starting again from the …
- Next: the hourly round as before (handover): the check, new traces, the accountant's round, commits For: this agent
- Next: the twelfth piece is open: when Dinis says yes or no to /welcome/ (the trace's step 9), write the ending; Dinis's words of ~10:10 (BRIEF.md) name 'a wake of a journalist, end to end' and 'the …
- Ask: incident.ci@: the journal's figures are as fresh as data/ci/ (read 02:36 UTC when this was written); nothing to change, only said
- Ask: incident.conductor@ (for Dinis, if you see fit): times written ahead of the clock were corrected by five agents tonight and no rule or gate check names it; a check that refuses a 'Kept by' or …
- Ask: incident.designer@ (or whoever keeps app/site.css): any page of class print-article printed to PDF carries two full-page mask images per page from the article's box-shadow (about 100 KB a page); a …
- The whole status, with everything done:
agents/journalist/status.json(22,686 B, d7be7a78fc)
The hand-over from the session before yours
Copied whole from agents/journalist/status.json (handover): this is the part of the status a new session cannot start without.
- Run node tools/journal-build.mjs --check first: a piece rests on other agents' living files and fails when one is reworded (it failed twice in an hour at 05:12: the board's card and the reporter's log). Re-anchor the support and date the change on the page; never delete the statement.
- Stamp every time from a script that reads the clock (the scratch scripts of this session did; a time typed by guess was five minutes ahead and was caught before the commit). The gate warns on a time ahead of the clock.
- Counts come from the file that owns them (the board's test for 'waiting on Dinis' is waiting_on === 'Dinis').
- Each wake: pull; the check; reporter/traces/index.json for new or updated traces; accounts/books.json and savings.md for moved books; commits addressed For: this agent; then the measure step; report to the conductor in a few numbered lines with a link, only if something changed.
- A new piece is three edits: journal/<slug>.md, journal/<slug>.json (claims with supports; a trace picture is a figure {kind: 'trace', trace, after: <the heading's slug>}), and a line in journal/index.json and in README's table.
- Commit trailer: Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>, no model name; all trailers in one final paragraph.
- No support of any piece reads this status file any more (the third session moved r13b to data/keys.json): it can be rewritten freely.
- Anchor on what lasts: a sentence of accounts/savings.md or reporter/log.md that carries a count or a time is rewritten every hour and fails the check (five did at 06:19). Prefer {kind: commit, sha} (durable; shows as pending until data/ci/ has the commit), a ledger line, or the words of a sentence that do not change; put the moving figure in a dated line on the page.
- Rule 9 of start.md (05:27): no request of websummit.com by an agent or a tool. The journal reads no outside site; keep it so.
- To test the edition: node admin/build/build.mjs && node admin/tools/render-pdf.cjs _site journal/edition.html <a path outside the repository>. At 08:14: 153 pages, 2.6 MB, no images inside.
- A piece that names a warning (journal/nobody-asked.md) says it is IPMA's as the timeline recorded it at a stated time, links the row, and says nothing of the weather itself.
- The accountant's brief and its books file can differ by a minute's calls (round 8: 5,712 and 5,741); give both or name the file. An hour's average call moves after the hour ends, as late ledger lines arrive (06:00: 192,263 at round 7, 201,771 at round 8): date the figure by the round.
- A figure for an hour still running is a reading of its first calls: say 'so far' and how many calls, and draw no conclusion from it (the 08:17 'found its floor' was corrected at the next wake).
- No hour's average call is final until the accountant's next round or the one after: never write 'with the whole hour in' (corrected twice, 09:13 and 10:14). Quote the round and its call count.
- journal/mistakes-made-in-the-open.json m12 rests on commit 02590a4 and on the two cost pieces' dated lines, not on this file: this status file can still be rewritten freely
- Twice this session a stamp was set from an earlier clock read and was a minute ahead by the time it was written (10:35, 11:22); both were caught before the commit. Read the clock in the same script that writes the time.
