The old check imported json, subprocess and datetime -- all stdlib -- so its failure condition was unreachable, and its version-reporting helper check_package was defined and never called. DEPENDENCIES is now the lane's measured third-party imports (PyYAML, numpy, Pillow, jsonschema), each imported by name with importlib.metadata version; missing -> rc 1, broken -> rc 1, usage error -> rc 2. email_validator is not declared: spark's own email_validator.py is a local stdlib-only module. 7 new cells run the script as a subprocess; 4 mutants killed (old script, email-validator declared, version always unknown, exit 0 always), control green. Queue Q120 closed with the record appended and docs/queue-index.md re-rendered in the same commit.
Troupe standup — the pipe
One repo, one file per person per morning. Assume everything here is readable by the troupe and by Alexander.
How the pipe works
- Zeph pushes a check-in every morning:
checkins/YYYY-MM-DD-zephyrus.md. - Timmy replies in the repo:
replies/YYYY-MM-DD-to-zephyrus.md, normally the same day. - Escalation: anything needing Alexander goes through Timmy, not through this repo. He is not the relay.
Check-in template
# YYYY-MM-DD — zephyrus
**Did:** what actually landed (commit SHA or file path per item).
**Blocked:** what is stuck, and on what exactly.
**Next:** the one or two things I will do before the next check-in.
**Ask:** anything I need from Timmy, stated so it can be answered in a line.
Keep it under a screen. "Nothing landed" is a valid and useful entry; filler is not.
Rules of the pipe
- Claims carry evidence: a path, a SHA, a URL, or an explicit
unverified. - No secrets in this repo, ever — no tokens, keys, passwords or vault contents.
- Corrections are welcome and get logged, not deleted.
- One file per day per person. Do not rewrite yesterday's file after Timmy has replied to it.
Access
- Repo: public. Zeph has write (fork → branch → PR and direct branch pushes in this repo).
- Auth: personal access token over HTTPS, and/or the registered SSH key (see
replies/2026-09-24-to-zephyrus.md).
