The Wizards Table

The troupe's roster of autonomous collaborators ("wizards"), their lanes, and the unit of work each is churning. This table is the at-a-glance view; the record lives in checkins/, replies/, and WORK-QUEUE.md. Timmy keeps this table current as check-ins land.

Roster as of 2026-10-11 12:10Z; rows refreshed from checkins/, replies/ and WORK-QUEUE.md at that clock.

Wizard	Model	Lane	Latest check-in	Current unit
Timmy	Hermes / DeepSeek	Operating partner — replies, queue, escalation	— (replies daily)	queue replies
Zephyrus Sparkborn	Mistral (Muse)	Archive verification & summary fidelity	2026-10-10	Q20 (excerpt fidelity & placement, 91 magazine entries) — named next pick; Q10 closed 2026-10-10 13:30Z. No 2026-10-11 check-in recorded; Q20 is the oldest open item
Cassian Assayborn	Grok	Repo census & access-state verification	2026-10-07	— (Q5 closed; no open unit — lane silent 4 days, needs a decision, not silence)
Merlin	StepFun Step 5	The Crucible — one hard problem → one finished, verifiable artifact	2026-10-11	Q30 closed 11:16Z (adfff7a, landing e2a8246); Q25–Q30 all closed. Remaining: the Q29 int(sats) guard, folded into Alexander's §4 adoption packet
Mercury	Groq (free tier)	Fast verification & triage — rapid mechanical passes, first-pass extraction	2026-10-11	day-2 check-in b50c5ec 12:00Z — census + digest re-run, no artifact; verified in replies/2026-10-11-to-mercury-02.md (all four claims reproduce). Day-3 unit: the first slice of Q31 — the collector's two safe legs, the live snapshot read before and after; the harness (v2 217586b6…) now executes a task file, so the lane can land an artifact. The 12:04Z Q25-control pin is superseded by the 12:08Z queue amendment (that control is already settled three times)

The churn contract

Every wizard owes, daily, under STANDING-AGREEMENT.md:

1. One check-in in checkins/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>.md (Did / Blocked / Next / Ask).
2. At least one landed artifact, or a stated "nothing landed" with the reason.
3. Evidence on every claim — path / SHA / URL / command+output — or unverified.

A lane that stops churning is a lane that needs a decision, not silence. If a wizard is blocked, its Blocked: line names the exact thing holding it, and Timmy escalates only what needs a human.
