Three threads tied off: the AHA collection, the DBM proposal, and the IES intake memo.

A finishing week. The four-piece AHA board collection shipped in Alex's v0.62.1 design and survived a Playwright bug hunt, the DBM proposal cleared its mega-eval and locked five open decisions, and a neutral ShurIQ memo gave Kristine Hagedorn a fair way to compare AI tools and commission the report she actually wants.

Work clustered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Monday Jun 22 carried five substantive commits (the DBM close-out, Team C sprint items, the canon push, the AHA build) with no session record; Tuesday touched 148 files with no session trace; the weekend was silent except for eval-log auto-pushes. Two full session records exist: the AHA fix round (Wed, 240 min) and the IES memo (Fri, 110 min), plus a daily-note-only Aethelgard session Wednesday.

TaskNotes was unreachable all week — HTTP 000 on localhost:8080, with 1,100+ consecutive failed health checks logged by Friday night. No task metrics in this review.

Wins by Project

AHA Board Collection Jun 22 build · Jun 24 fix · 240 min

Shipped the 4-piece collection (landing + Part I + Part II + panel) reskinned to Alex's ShurIQ v0.62.1 report design, live at aha-report-collection.pages.dev as one Cloudflare project with subpaths — sidestepping the account project limit and keeping cross-links relative.

  • Multi-agent Workflow: a UI/UX lead pixel-traced Alex's report-combo into one shared foundation.css; front-end engineers restyled each piece in parallel; a QA lead ran link + anti-slop integrity
  • Part II viz hub: 6 D3 charts recolored to cobalt; preserved originals (shur-aha-editorial-brief, aha-viz-editorial) untouched
  • Fix round from Jonny's video report: Playwright reproduced a double stacked fixed nav bar and a sticky rail overlapping the ranking table; both fixed, redeployed, verified live at mobile/tablet widths
  • Reusable Playwright capture harness written (_design-kit/shoot.mjs)

IES Holdings Jun 26 · 110 min · gated deploy

Single-page ShurIQ information memo answering Kristine Hagedorn's questions: the IES portfolio breakdown plus a framework for commissioning reports and fairly comparing AI tools.

  • Named the category error in the implicit ChatGPT-vs-ShurIQ comparison: her ChatGPT ran with memory on, answering from accumulated personal context, unlike a cold outside-in read
  • Delivered a like-kind comparison sheet (exact prompt, model, memory state, context, sources, report type), a report-type menu, and an intake template
  • 11-agent dynamic workflow; mega-eval PASS across all 11 categories; deterministic grammar gate run with one allowlisted false positive
  • Deployed gated to ies-kg-intake.totem-dynamic-workflows.pages.dev, keeping the internal framework off the public IES site; served markup verified with curl each round
  • Survived three feedback iterations — declarative headline, third-party memo voice, competitive-intelligence hero reframe — without structural rework

DBM Proposal Jun 22 · 5 commits · final

  • Resolved the 5 open decisions — price tiering + safe defaults locked
  • Reconciled, desloped, mega-eval passed, and applied to the copy Doc
  • Cut the closing line ("Put us to work") per Jonny; resynced repo source from the finalized Doc with his hand edits + gdoc_id

Aethelgard (Totem Forge) Jun 24 · handoff package

  • Master read-in doc AETHELGARD-AGENT-ONBOARDING: project map, pipeline, isolation contract, REA data model, Stage-2 roadmap, consolidated context index
  • Gitignored symlink gives the vault-rooted agent read access to the standalone repo without breaking the physical-isolation contract; repo-root CLAUDE.md pointer added
  • Stage-1 complete (baseline 37fb5fb), demo-ready, paused; same-day 3:30 PM review scheduled

Team C / Research Grammar + MiroFish Jun 22–24 · commits

  • Team C sprint items 1 + 8: routing matrix + ownership-boundary memo
  • Consolidated ShurIQ voice+grammar canon pushed for remote/GitHub access
  • MiroFish post: voice-tightening pass + redeploy
Playwright caught what curl could not. Deploy success, HTTP 200, and clean markup all passed while two real layout bugs hid. Rendering and scrolling at three viewport widths and dumping fixed-element boxes found them numerically. Encoded in feedback_verify_deploys.md.

Blocked / Overdue

No blocked items in session records. TaskNotes is down, so no blocked-task or overdue query was possible; the stale Jan–Feb backlog flagged in W17 remains untriaged as far as any record shows.

Next Week Priorities

  1. Restore the TaskNotes API Down all week — 1,100+ consecutive failed health checks; the daily digest has logged "unavailable" since at least Jun 22. Restart the plugin or fix the port binding.
  2. AHA combar mobile fix Collapse the Part I view-mode tabs into a menu on phones; consider the pull-quote scroll-margin fix in the same pass.
  3. IES portfolio breakdown Blocked on Kristine confirming the intake defaults; when she does, run revenue + profit per operating company.
  4. Aethelgard InfraNodus adapter Flip it live read-only (/analyze), per the Stage-2 roadmap in the onboarding doc.
  5. Backfill session capture for Jun 22–23 Monday carried 5 substantive commits and Tuesday touched 148 files with zero session records between them. Log retroactive summaries while context survives.
  6. Decide the IES memo "education process" thread The open question from the Jun 26 session is still waiting on a call.

Maintenance Actions

Insights

Patterns

  • A finishing week: all three headline outputs closed threads opened in prior weeks. ~6 recorded hours against W25's ~40
  • Both recorded sessions ran the same shape — Workflow build, mega-eval or QA gate, gated deploy, curl verify — and both shipped; the week's only real defects were visual, below curl's ability to see
  • Work clustered Mon + Wed + Fri; Tuesday's 148 modified files left no session trace

What slowed progress

  • A Workflow args-undefined misfire sent agents building into the wrong vault folder — cost a full rebuild pass; mitigation: hardcode absolute paths in one-off build scripts
  • mem0 writes timed out in both recorded sessions; vault memory files carried the lessons but the write path burned time twice
  • The deploy hook re-runs the grammar gate against the deploy directory — grammar-allow.txt had to be copied there, not just the source dir

What went well

  • Playwright render-and-scroll found both AHA layout bugs from a video report and confirmed fixes numerically at three viewport widths — shoot.mjs is reusable
  • The IES memo absorbed three rounds of substantive feedback because the framework tables held while the prose changed
  • An agent reported FAILED yet had written its files correctly — caught by verifying disk instead of trusting the flag

Needs attention

  • TaskNotes has been unreachable ~11+ days; every automated surface referencing it — daily digest, health check, weekly review — is carrying dead weight. Fix it or remove it from the loops
  • Session capture is the weak link: 2 of 6 active projects have session records; Monday's DBM close-out exists only as commit messages
