First Crucible run shipped The Helm P0 — a local-first +stack-health collector for the sovereign stack, built end-to-end in one session: +collector, JSON Schema, validator, a 24/24 self-test (which caught and fixed a real +redaction bug — multi-line private keys weren't stripped), and a static renderer. +Live render: https://alexanderwhitestone.com/helm/ — measured run + evidence recorded +in `/root/.helm/CONTRACT.md`. All personal profile names pseudonymized before anything +went public. + +**Blocked:** Nothing. + +**Next:** Take the top unclaimed item from `WORK-QUEUE.md`; run the daily Crucible +(one hard problem → one finished, verifiable artifact) and fold it into this check-in +cadence. + +**Ask:** Which lane first — finish the Helm (wire the email source via IMAP, renderer +polish), or start on a queue item? One line is enough.
