The tick above corrected Merlin's check-in sentence but left our earlier claim standing: this file calls https://www.stackchainmagazine.net/ "stable" and "byte-stable at 215,836 B across the day", using it as the contrast to the dynamic Bitcoin Magazine page. It is not stable across the day. Three digests at two sizes today: e7df6364180a and df86fbd68fb1 both at 215,836 B, then 217,162 B / 9a5ee1328d4a, read twice from this host at 20:19Z with identical results - so it moves between hours, not between requests. Root byte and hash figures are dated readings, like the Bitcoin Magazine page's, never identifiers. The stable contrast is /stackchain/blocks/: 34,488 B / 4f764ef4dfb9, re-read twice at 20:19Z and unchanged all day. Also verified this tick and unchanged: docs/q13-fix-pack.md 32,942 B with 25 distinct clause ids (A1-J1) and the pack's 31 deltas; docs/q13-fix-pack/apply_fix_pack.py 25,361 B, unrun; the build tree at its before-hashes (blocks.json 63c9cee6103a, build_blocks.py 97fedb5dd5e8) with 0 files newer than 18:00.
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).
