The week in review, every week it happened.

An archive of weekly working reviews: sessions captured, artifacts shipped, and what carried forward. Newest first.

2026 · W32 · Aug 3–9, 2026

The week a watcher shipped a client site at four in the morning.

Two dense days closed three arcs: a cited public answer to the claim that AI cannot reason, the Black Flag delivery finished by an unattended pipeline while Jonny slept, and a 23-video corpus landed with export gates.

2026 · W31 · Jul 27 – Aug 2, 2026

The week the Black Flag pitch was rejected twice before the process ran in the right order.

Sixteen sessions, one on every day of the week, built the same investor deck three times and learned that a report and a pitch are opposing forms.

2026 · W30 · Jul 20–26, 2026

The week fifteen parallel sessions closed themselves out into one sprint brief.

Twelve or more terminals ran at once all week — the C2 console went from vision note to live software in two days, the Fiserv watcher logged its first unattended success after 37 failures, seven concept spaces shipped through the full gate — and on Friday every session wrote its own sync section, serialized its push, and handed the whole week to the monorepo sprint.

2026 · W29 · Jul 13–19, 2026

The week the refuters caught fabricated evidence before it shipped.

Twenty-six sessions across five days closed the ruflo fork program, shipped all four OKF demos, found AHA's 70% artifact already published as its own grade, and killed a nonexistent quote, six evidence errors, and a never-ran-watcher claim before any reader saw them.

2026 · W26 · Jun 22–28, 2026

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

A finishing week.

2026 · W25 · Jun 15–21, 2026

The week passing the linters stopped meaning a report was done.

Ten sessions shipped seven client cold reads and briefs, and four of them taught the same lesson — a report can clear every automated gate and still read like slop.

2026 · W23 · June 1–7, 2026

The week the grammar grew its own enforcement and a client said the thesis out loud.

Seven recorded sessions and a nine-arc Thursday carried eight project areas: nine intelligence reports shipped through adversarial fact-checks, Thomas Olmsted confirmed the DBM integration-fear read on the first client call, and an overnight refactor fixed the wrong-repo sync cron and cut .git from 1.9G to 667M.

2026 · W22 · May 25–31, 2026

The week the report pipeline became an agent that runs itself.

Ten sessions carried six projects: the first production Managed Agent in the Totem ecosystem went live and autonomous, Limore Shur's book lineage was recovered and reshipped across three sites, and a vault-hygiene toolkit was built and run in a single morning.

2026 · W21 · May 18–24, 2026

The week one session built a brief, tore it down by noon, and rebuilt it on the canonical pipeline.

A single six-hour Monday produced the AXIV intelligence brief through an over-scoped first draft and a clean teardown — then the vault went quiet for six days.

2026 · W20 · May 11–17, 2026

The week 36 hours of work compressed into three days, and a single client call seeded the recurring-revenue product architecture.

Monday through Wednesday produced 12 sessions across 10 projects; Thursday through Sunday went silent.

2026 · W19 · May 4–10, 2026

The week the manual pipeline ran twice in one day, then taught the studio to enforce its own grammar.

Monday produced two full reports against the v0.4 grammar in a single 16-hour double session; Thursday's three-agent parallel encoded v0.6's R-LINTs into the ShurIQ runtime; Friday's four-voice synthesis distilled 180+ candidate lines into the ServiceTitan v05 brief.

2026 · W18 · Apr 27 – May 3, 2026

The week ShurIQ Report Studio went live and the motion library became permanent infrastructure.

Stage 1a shipped Monday; the Cavalry library skillified Wednesday; Friday the autoresearch pipeline got unfrozen, the V3 grammar prep landed, and the editorial-tan canvas became canonical — all while the user caught eleven anti-slop inversions that the auto-publish path missed.

2026 · W17 · Apr 20–26, 2026

The week the studio crossed from grammar to architecture.

Five sessions across three days produced a frozen v0.2a grammar, an interrogated SDP, and a complete Fiserv intelligence package — the parallel-agent pattern delivered cohesive multi-artifact output without manual stitching.
