# Work queue
Self-serve. Take the top unclaimed item, say so in your check-in, finish it, report it. If an item is too big to
finish in a day, say what part you are doing and by when. **Every item states what "done" means and what evidence
it needs.** Propose additions by PR.

## Q1 — Recover the fifteen silent rooms *(highest value; no dependencies)*
The archive holds audio for 31 of the 46 Stackchain Spaces it has discovered. **Fifteen have no replay at all** —
X blocks them, and nothing in the archive can quote them. Each announcement below is a real post; the rooms are
real; the recordings are missing.

Recover what is recoverable **from public sources only**: the room's title, host, date, who spoke, any archived
copy of the audio, any contemporary write-up. Wayback, the announcement posts themselves, community posts, other
archives — wherever it exists.
**Done means:** one row per space in `recoveries/silent-rooms.md` — id, date, what was found, exact URL, retrieval
date — with `nothing found` written plainly where that is the answer.
**Evidence:** the URL and the retrieval timestamp for every positive finding; the searches performed for every
negative one.
**Status: CLOSED — 0/15 recovered, and every public avenue is now exhausted with receipts.**
- Results table: `recoveries/silent-rooms.md` (`b8ac1eb`, zephyrus-sparkborn) — 15 rows, `nothing found`, search list.
- Announcement record for all 15 (text, dates, mention walls): `recoveries/silent-rooms-enrichment.md` (`c8d2569`).
- Wayback avenue closed (`2118b3e` + reply 03, `2026-09-24-to-zephyrus-03.md`): 14 of 15
`twitter.com/i/spaces/<id>` URLs and 8 of 15 announcement posts have 2022 captures, and every capture rendered is
the logged-out JS shell — no title, host, participants or replay handle.
- The one room with no space-page capture at all is `1vOGwyjjONrxB`.
- Only route left: a logged-in X session for the room cards. Nobody here has one; declining it is a legitimate answer.
- Handed back with one open claim: the archive's own space catalog labels these 15
`blocked-no-current-space-metadata`, which is a metadata barrier, not proof that no recording was ever made.

## Q2 — Chase the one dead link
Every published source link in the archive answers except one:
`https://twitter.com/AriZonanHODL/status/1549169119924080640` returns 404.
**Done means:** either an archived copy (Wayback, archive.today, a quote-post screenshot) recorded with its URL and
capture date, or a documented conclusion that it is unrecoverable, with every avenue tried listed.
**Evidence:** the capture URL, or the search list behind the negative.
**Status: DONE — recovered.** `recoveries/dead-link.md` (`3ca3d3c`, zephyrus-sparkborn) found the `x.com` snapshot
(`20250129185849`); Timmy rendered the `twitter.com` variant, which zephyrus's table had as snapshot-less, and it
holds a contemporaneous capture at `20220809062934` with the tweet text, "11:07 PM · Jul 18, 2022 · Twitter for
iPhone", 63 retweets / 46 quote tweets / 611 likes and the archived image (`c8d2569`). Two further `twitter.com`
captures exist: `20220718230820`, `20220730181319`. Method note: the Wayback availability API reports no snapshots
for either variant — CDX is the authority.

## Q3 — Independent audit of the published ledger
The ledger at https://alexanderwhitestone.com/stackchain/blocks/ publishes 121 entries. Audit it from the outside,
where you are not the author and have no access to the build:
- Dead or redirected links, page by page.
- Date inconsistencies between an entry's displayed date and its page content.
- Any entry that claims a source it does not actually cite.
**Material provided:** `recoveries/ledger-link-inventory.md` — all 123 published pages fetched, their external links
extracted, and every unique external URL status-checked (40 unique; 39 answer, 1 is the genesis link now replaced).
Pass 2 should judge the pages against this dump rather than trying to fetch them.
**Done means:** a table of findings with severity, or an explicit clean bill of health per area checked.
**Evidence:** the page URL, the exact text, and the command or method used.
**Status: DONE — both passes complete (`2ebcbe7` pass 1, `6f31cde` pass 2, zephyrus-sparkborn; material `2118b3e`).
Verified from the outside after pass 2 (reply 04).**
- 121/121 entries walked. Counts reproduce: 16 clean + 95 citation flags + 8 date mismatches + 1 dead link + 1
redirect = 121 = 91 magazine + 22 event + 8 block. Sampled magazine entries carry zero external links and a
plain-text `Original: https://www.stackchainmagazine.net` line — the flag is systematic, not incidental.
- Pass 1's date flag is closed in the archive's favour: the feed's own `pubDate` for *Stackchain SJ Lottery* is
`Mon, 30 Jan 2023 22:15:54 GMT`, stable across fetches; Apple's record matches; Spotify's "Feb 05" belonged to the
adjacent card. Also closed: MP3 liveness, excerpt-window arithmetic, fountain.fm target, index counts, entry-19
redirect.
- Not covered by either pass, and still open if anyone wants it: paraphrase fidelity of the 91 magazine entries
(which article did each quote come from), and the absolute placement of the excerpt inside the original recording.
- **Handed to Alexander, not to the pipe:** whether to publish article-level source URLs on the 91 magazine entries
and 4 testimony blocks. The archive already holds the map (`MAGAZINE-SITE-MAP.md`, `magazine-inventory.json`); the
entries show only the publication homepage. This is a provenance-policy decision, not a task.

## Q4 — Falsification pass
Pick three claims the archive makes in public and try your hardest to break them from public sources. Report what
you did, what you found, and whether the claim survived. "It survived" is a successful outcome — you are testing
the archive, not hunting for a scalp.
**Done means:** three claims, three attempts, three verdicts.
**Evidence:** the source you used against the claim, and the raw result.
---
## Q5 — Issue triage in the organisation's public repos
Walk the issue tracker of the public `stackchain` repositories. Reproduce what is reproducible. Comment with the
environment, the steps, and the output. Leave the ones you cannot reproduce with an honest "cannot reproduce, here
is what I tried".
**Done means:** every open issue either carrying a reproduction comment or an explicit cannot-reproduce note.
**Evidence:** pasted command output per issue.
---
## Q6 — A public guide to checking this archive
Write `docs/how-to-check-this-archive.md`: the concrete steps a stranger can run to test whether the archive's
claims hold — how entries are graded, what the four evidence tiers mean in practice, and one worked example.
Base it on what you actually ran, not on what the README asserts.
**Done means:** somebody with no context can follow it and get a yes/no on a real claim.
**Evidence:** you ran every command in it before submitting.
---
## Q7 — Propose the next items
The queue must never run dry. When you finish something, propose the next thing — with a one-paragraph case for
its value and a finish line — as a PR to this file. Disagreeing with an existing item is also welcome.
