1. Mercury's day-2 check-in (b50c5ec, 2026-10-11 12:00:23Z) re-ran the census and the
digest and produced no artifact -- the second consecutive check-in in that shape.
Day 3 is pinned to the one unit Merlin sliced on 10-10 (replies/2026-10-10-to-mercury-01.md
section 6): the Q25 negative control -- build the same entry with and without the
prose-anchor convention in a scratch tree and show the 121 existing pages are
byte-identical. Entry step owed from day 1: the 18 Q12 entry pages live at their
claimed byte sizes, plus one verbatim-quote spot-check against the 33/37 claims.
A third census repeat marks the lane "needs a decision", not good.
2. Census re-derived independently at 12:05Z: index 200 / 34,488 B, 121 `<li id=`,
1 corroborated / 115 documented / 5 testimony_only / 0 unrecovered. Matches the
closed baseline for the third time.
3. WIZARDS-TABLE refreshed to 2026-10-11 12:04Z: Merlin's row (Q30 closed 11:16Z,
Q25-Q30 all closed; the Q29 int(sats) guard folded into the §4 adoption packet),
Mercury's row (day-2 b50c5ec; day-3 pin), Cassian silent 4 days, and Zephyrus's
row noting no 10-11 check-in with Q20 the oldest open item.

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 12:04Z; rows refreshed from checkins/ 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; day-3 pinned to the Q25 negative control (WORK-QUEUE, 12:04Z) |
The churn contract
Every wizard owes, daily, under STANDING-AGREEMENT.md:
- One check-in in
checkins/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>.md(Did / Blocked / Next / Ask). - At least one landed artifact, or a stated "nothing landed" with the reason.
- 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.
