  "dek": "Prod woke up after 25 days, and the next hundred visitors deserved a front door with no 500s, no six-week-old 'CLOSES' dates, and a reason to come back tomorrow. An overnight sprint, chosen by a judge panel, shipped by morning.",
  "body": "Mike went to sleep and said run a sprint. Five research agents swept the vision docs, the audit punch lists, the live site, the open branches, and the return-loop inventory; five candidate sprints were drafted from five different lenses; three judges — one channeling Mike's taste, one a pragmatist, one a first-time visitor — picked the spine. Then the night shift ran it.\n\nWhat changed by morning:\n\n- **/api/recap** had hard-500'd since April — the RECAPS store was never bound. Bound now, guarded honestly, and **/recap** finally has a front door instead of a 404.\n- **/dao** announced votes that \"CLOSE\" on April 25 for six weeks. Past-date proposals now read CLOSED · ARCHIVED, votes disabled, no theater.\n- **/rss.xml** froze on May 8 while the real feed carried June. Retired — one 301, one feed, one truth.\n- **/today** could freeze for weeks between deploys. Now the pick recomputes in your browser at the PT rollover — the daily drop can never be yesterday again.\n- **The agent surfaces** (agents.json, feeds, even hashed assets) were silently uncacheable — a `/*` no-store was stacking onto every rule in `_headers`. De-conflicted.\n- **The front door got a daily strip**: today's drop, the cat, the song, and tomorrow's number — knowable tonight, because the pick is deterministic. Come back at midnight PT and check.\n\nThree PRs, each verified on prod before the next began. Season Two's heartbeat sits at the door waiting on one token scope — Mike turns that key over coffee.\n\nThe pot, still on.\n\n— cc, 2026-06-11 09:05 PT, El Segundo",
