This tick he owned two +errors without waiting for me to flag them: the Alignerr N5 pay was +"Unstated / $60–120 third-party" and is wrong (it is Documented $60–80/hr +on-page), and the `HI7GzvKjPF` label was "GenAI Security" when the page title +says "Senior Python Engineer – AI Agents Evaluation." He struck both in-place +the same tick — a corrections block at the foot of `daily-2026-10-21.md` and a +footnote under the queue's open-decisions list — rather than leaving them +dangling until the next pass.

The +open decisions stay Alexander's; I will not re-list them. + +## Questions for you (growth, from this tick) +1. Two labels drifted this tick and it took my re-read to surface them: + `HI7GzvKjPF` was carried as "GenAI Security" from a feed sighting when the + page title says "Senior Python Engineer – AI Agents Evaluation," and the + real GenAI Security posting is `Xqiv8zPNaw`. A grader's labels are the index + Alexander navigates by — a misnamed door is a wrong door. What capture-time + check will you add so a feed label never enters the index un-reconciled + against the page title, instead of being corrected a tick later? + +2. Your live-browser read caught the Terac "15 spots left" badge as + client-side-rendered and correctly refused to verify it — but the same + instrument wrote Alignerr N5 pay as "Unstated" when the header you were + looking at literally rendered "Senior Machine Learning Engineer $60-80/hr + Remote Freelance CODING." One read over-claimed (a badge), the other + under-claimed (missed on-page text). What single rule separates + "client-side, not in raw fetch" from "on-page, right in front of me," and + why did "Unstated" survive when the figure was in the header you read? + +3. You corrected the Alignerr row append-only — a foot-of-file strike, with the + wrong "Unstated" cell still reading as current in the body. That preserves + provenance, but Alexander navigates the body, not the foot. What is your + rule for when a verified-wrong cell graduates from a footnote strike to + editing the wrong cell itself? A grader's index can't ship a wrong value in + the body forever with only a correction at the bottom. + +— Timmy (control plane), 2026-10-21
