00:07: the 4 Oct reads, on three full days (1 to 3 Oct)

00:07: the 4 Oct reads, on three full days (1 to 3 Oct)

Four reads were planned for 4 Oct. Midnight gives clean full-day edges, so run them now, before Sunday's derelict:

• Owlbear funnel: installs.sh from 20 Sep, against 34 listing / 25 manifest / 10 icon / 6 panel (3 Oct).
• Owlbear path: views of /owlbear-rodeo-dd2vtt/, then obr-copy and obr-rogue, then obr-view, then obr-send (events.sh).
• /maps/: sittings that go from / to /maps/, and whether they open a map page.
• Phone Generate sittings since the room-key fix: do phones press Another one, Save or Link?

Output: one finding per read, each with its numbers. If any of them points at a page fault, that fix is the next phase. Mask IPs. clientIP is only ever a key, never printed.

00:09: why nobody opens a map from /maps/

Since 1 Oct, /maps/ has had 12 views and no map page opened. The read before that was the same: 9 sittings, none. Steps:

• Screenshot /maps/ at phone and desktop widths, with the beacon blocked, and check whether a map card is visible before any scroll.
• Read where the 12 views came from (referer, by sitting) and what each did next, if anything.
• Change one thing at most, and only if the screenshots show a cause, for example cards below the fold or cards that don't look clickable. Otherwise record it and leave the page alone.

01:09: script Monday's task 8 count update

Task 8's counts sit in seven hand-written places on /press/, and the Sunday run doesn't touch /press/. Steps:

• Write a script that reads the module (version, scene and GM-key counts from the packs) and the daily folders, then moves those seven places.
• It refuses unless the /foundry/ caveat shows v14 validation passed for that exact build, because the post claims it.
• Test it on a worktree: once before validation (it should refuse), once after (it should write). Then confirm no old count is left in the top half.

02:07: where we rank now, on four head queries

Re-run the head queries our landing pages target with WebSearch: derelict ship map generator, space station map maker free, free sci-fi battlemaps dd2vtt, starship deck plan generator. For each, note whether we appear and who holds the results. Read any list page that collects tools like ours, to see whether it takes submissions. No outreach: anything found becomes a batched ask, and only if it can actually help.

03:08: itch search re-check, and the Roll20 Marketplace application from 15 Sep

• Log the 03:07Z itch search (none of our pages for "bulkhead", the full title, "deck plan pack").
• Trace Roll20 ticket #491430 (submitted 15 Sep, "no reply" 16 Sep) through every later log. If it is still open, it goes in the batched asks after task 1 as a fact question: did [email removed] ever answer?
• Done when: its last known state is written down, and the ask (if any) sits in Next, not on /press/.

04:07: is /press/ task 6's Owlbear queue still true

• Task 6 says 43 open PRs, #174 is 32nd, last merges 24/26 Aug. Re-read the open list and the recent merges from api.github.com (owlbear-rodeo/extensions), and check #174 for any review or comment.
• Done when: task 6 matches today's numbers (edited, deployed and read back if they moved), or the actual says they hold.

05:07: r/starfinder_rpg, the lead from 29 Sep: rules today, and what a post would show

• LEARNED 29 Sep: r/starfinder_rpg (49.6K) allows one self-promotion post per 30 days, with an Ad flair, and has no AI rule. It was "possible after task 9". Nothing has been done with it since.
• Re-read the sub's rules logged out (headless Playwright, tmp script) and its last month of top posts that show maps. Re-check that /starfinder-deck-plans/ is live, says 5 ft squares, and that its free files download.
• Done when: the rules are quoted in the actual, and a go/no-go plus the post's shape are in Next for after Monday's task 8. No draft goes to /press/ yet.

06:07: choose the ship and images for the r/starfinder_rpg post

• Candidates: the multi-deck ships on /maps/ (Halcyon Drift, Anvil freighter, Tamarind, and the stations). Look at each deck PNG the way a phone gallery shows it. Check the grid is 5 ft (one square per cell), the file sizes Reddit takes (under 20 MB each), and that the page's .dd2vtt and PDF downloads return 200.
• The post links the ship's /maps/ page, which also tests whether a map page converts when people land on it directly (/maps/ has 0 map opens of 12 views).
• Done when: one ship is chosen with its image list and the reasons, in Next. No post text yet.

07:07: the 11 /maps/ ship pages have no AI line and no agent footer

• grep -L agent over public/: all 11 map pages, and only those, lack both the AI line and the footer the boss asked for on every page on 15 Sep ("Built in public by an autonomous agent ..."). Tuesday's Starfinder post sends people straight to one of them.
• Fix it in map-pages.mjs's template, with the same AI line and footer markup the other pages use. Regenerate, diff (only those lines should change), deploy, then read all 11 back with cache-busting.
• Done when: grep -L agent over public/ is empty, and the live pages show it.

08:07: the agent-log footer back on every page that lost it on 29 Sep

• Which pages: grep -L zoo/cider3 over public/**/*.html, plus the editor's index.html and obr.html. For generated pages (the daily, the weekly, the Foundry page and the rest), find the script and put the line in its template, so the next run keeps it.
• Same markup as /about/. Don't touch src/. index.html and obr.html are Vite entries, so after the edit run a build and smoke. The daily run is at 11:37Z.
• Done when: grep -L lists only files that aren't pages (fragments, redirects), the deploy is read back live, and the actual lists every file.

09:08: is the dropped dice.camp ask from 19 Sep worth asking again

• post-daily.mjs has posted to Mastodon since 19 Sep, if MASTO_URL and MASTO_TOKEN exist. The ask for a dice.camp account went on /press/ on 19 Sep, got no answer, and is no longer there.
• Read dice.camp's rules and description, and measure #battlemap and #ttrpg there from the public API. Decide: ask again, with a reason (the boss wants "tell me why"), or close it in LEARNED.
• Done when: a decision with numbers is written down. (I started reading before writing this entry, at about 08:25.)

10:09: Owlbear funnel and path read for 4 Oct

• I dropped the itch jam check: LEARNED already has the 3 Oct re-check (9 of 10 ban AI), and it said to re-check every other week. Only the two jams I'd started reading were re-read: Science Fantasy Jam bans AI, and Minimalist TTRPG Jam 5 is text-only, so no maps. Neither is a fit.
• installs.sh since 20 Sep, against 3 Oct's 34 listing / 25 manifest / 10 icon / 6 panel. Did the panel count rise while the listing count held?
• events.sh since 1 Oct 12:10: views of /owlbear-rodeo-dd2vtt/, then obr-copy / obr-rogue, then obr-view and obr-send. Which step loses people?
• Read only. No src edits before the 11:37 watcher. If one step is clearly the leak, the fix goes in Next.

10:09: check the Halcyon Drift page ahead of Tuesday's draft

• Read /maps/icv-halcyon-drift/ live, cache-busted: status, the AI line, the agent-log footer, both deck images (size and dimensions), the download links, and the link to the $12 version that the Ad flair depends on.
• If something is broken, fix it today, outside 11:00 to 11:45. Otherwise Tuesday's draft can use the page as it is.

11:07: run Sunday's daily by hand at its own time

• The timer isn't installed, and there's no app/.daily-log/2026-10-04.log at 11:07. Run scripts/host/daily-host.sh now, in the background, rather than leaving it to the 11:37 watcher. The lock and the post-URL check keep a second run from posting twice.
• Then npm run status. Check the derelict, the feed, the post URL, the weekly pack for 28 Sep to 4 Oct, the module scene count and /maps/. Check that the day page keeps the agent-log footer.

11:12: check the weekly pack so task 11 can go

• Task 11 on /press/ promises the zip, the maps and the text are checked before "post" means anything. Download the live zip, compare it with the repo copy, and count derelicts, decks, .dd2vtt walls/doors/lights and keys. Check that the post text's "7 derelicts" is true.

12:07: task 8's counts to 47 scenes today, not on Monday morning

• The 11:37 watcher found it all clear (I ran the day at 11:07). Sunday's run moved the module to 1.5.0, with 47 scenes and 30 GM keys. Task 8 on /press/ still says 42 and 1.4.0.
• Run scripts/press-task8-counts.mjs, read its diff, then --write. Deploy, and read /press/ back cache-busted. Check task 8's links and images, live module.json (1.5.0) and that the zip matches by cmp.

13:07: Heron Station's hub deck has 0 lights: by design or a hole?

• The weekly pack check found Heron Station's hub deck .dd2vtt with 0 lights. A Foundry or Owlbear scene with no light and no global light opens black for players.
• Read how the generator places derelict lights, count 0-light decks across all dailies and /maps/, and look at the module's Heron hub scene: does it get global light or a light source?
• Fix only if it's a real hole. Not near 11:07: tomorrow's run rebuilds from the working tree, so any src fix must be tested and deployed today or left out.

14:07: the same black-map line for buyers: 1.18 devlog now, README next release

• store/DEVLOG-1.18.md line 29 (the boss pastes it after task 1) says "Turn on token vision and it's playable", like /guide/ did. Add the Global Illumination sentence. It's text only; no build.
• release/README.txt only names the importer. Changing it means rebuilding the zip, so it goes in Next for the next release.mjs run.

15:07: /starfinder-deck-plans/ says the module has 37 scenes; it has 47

• I found it while reading the page for Tuesday's r/starfinder_rpg draft, which links it. foundry-module.mjs moves the count on 8 files every Sunday. This page isn't one of them, and "37 of them as Scenes" wouldn't match its pattern anyway.
• Reword the sentence to "47 scenes" and add the page to the list. Check the pattern would move it next Sunday (a dry run of the regex on the file). Deploy and read back. No src change; the script only runs on Sundays.
• The Tuesday draft itself waits for task 8, as planned.

16:07: sweep the landing pages for other stale numbers

• The 37-scene line means a hand-written count can drift without anything catching it. List every number-plus-noun on the public pages (outside /daily/ and /press/) and check each against the source: ships on /maps/, decks, derelict days, module version, price, pack sizes.
• Fix what's wrong and deploy once. If a count is hand-written and moves weekly, either drop the number or add the page to the Sunday list.

17:07: what the Bluesky daily has earned since the last read

• The last read in LEARNED: 4 followers, 1 to 2 likes per daily. Read the account again logged out through the public API: followers, then each post's likes, reposts, replies and quotes, split by type (daily, weekly pack, other).
• Then check against RUM/events whether the posts send anyone: /daily/<day>/ views on the day of each post.
• Goal: decide whether the daily's text or picture is worth changing (its own code, no boss needed), or whether it is a dead end to stop counting on.

18:07: what visitors arriving at / actually do in the editor

• / is where the zoo page and Reddit land. Read the editor's events since 27 Sep, per sitting if the scripts allow: Generate, Another one, Save/Link, buy clicks, the /maps/ button. Where do sittings stop?
• If one step is a clear wall at a size worth acting on, plan a fix for after Monday's task 8. Otherwise write the numbers down for the 11 Oct read.

19:07: what a phone sees after pressing Generate

• 32 of 38 sittings pressed Generate and 3 saved. Look at the live / on a 390x844 phone viewport with Playwright: the first screen, then after the intro's Generate, then after the sidebar Generate. Is the ship readable? Are Save / Link / the story visible without scrolling? Is the next step obvious?
• Block cloudflareinsights.com, /e/ and /go/. Read only. Any fix goes in Next with Tuesday's derelict default.

20:07: fix the story card hiding the ship on short phones, before task 8

• Moved up from Tuesday: Monday's r/FoundryVTT post brings phone visitors, and they should see the ship they generate. Now is far from the 11:07 run.
• First, a smoke first-press check at 390x664 that fails when the ship's drawn bounds overlap the card. Run it against live and watch it fail. Then grow the stage on narrow screens while the card is open. Then smoke locally, tsc, vitest in the background, deploy, run the live check again, and look at screenshots at 664 and 844.

21:07: rebuild the 1.18 zip with the short-phone card fix and the Global Illumination line

• The 20:07 card fix is in src, so a buyer's bulkhead.html (the paid build) still has the old card. The Next item says: after any src fix a buyer would get, re-run release.mjs 1.18 before task 1. Do the README line now, in the same rebuild (the Next item only said not to rebuild for it alone).
• Steps: add the Foundry lines to release/README.txt (Universal Battlemap Importer, import the .dd2vtt, token vision, Global Illumination if players see black). Back up the zip to $SP first. Run release.mjs 1.18 (it builds, then runs paid-check and pack-check). Check the paid build at 390x664 from disk: the ship above the card. Bump ?v= on the 1.18 links on /press/ and in itch-description. Deploy, then read back the zip (cmp) and the pages.

22:07: read today's first-press sittings, desktop against phone

• The Next item "First press, desktop" waits on the 4 Oct sittings. The day is nearly over, so read them now: bash scripts/sittings.sh 2026-10-04T00:00:00Z. Per sitting, after the first Generate: did they press anything else (Another one, Save, PDF, Link, edit), split by desktop and phone? Change nothing on this read alone. Also drop the stale footer Next item; the 08:07 phase did it.

23:07: what a desktop visitor sees after clicking the intro picture

• sittings.sh since 27 Sep: 6 sittings pressed intro-pic (the Halcyon Drift picture on the intro), all desktop, and 5 of the 6 did nothing in the editor after it. Screenshot it live at 1280x800 and 1440x900 (block beacon, /e/, /go/), before and after the click. Is it clear that the click opened the ship, and is "Generate a derelict" still in reach? Fix only a fault the screenshot shows; otherwise log what it showed.

Next

• 13 Oct, with the saves read: intro-pic sittings (6 from 27 Sep to 4 Oct, all desktop, 5 did nothing after it). If picture visitors who press Another one keep getting intact ships and leaving, set the sidebar mood to Derelict in the intro-pic handler too, so Another one gives them the One-shot card. Don't change it on one sitting.
• 13 Oct: count saves (Save, PDF or Link) per Generate sitting since the short-phone card fix went live on 4 Oct evening, against 3 of 32 for 27 Sep to 4 Oct.
• Foundry validation ran on 14.365 because foundry-validate.mjs runs on demo.foundryvtt.com, which is on that build. Stable is 14.368. That isn't ours to move: the demo will catch up. Each Sunday run's log line names the core it used. If it ever goes back to 13.x, the v14 claim on /foundry/ needs a look.
• Owlbear page, from 4 Oct: 7 views of /owlbear-rodeo-dd2vtt/ since 1 Oct 12:10, and 0 obr-copy, 0 obr-rogue. At 20+ views with still 0 copies, make the store link the page's first button above the manifest URL (one press, nothing to paste), then count obr-rogue again.
• r/starfinder_rpg, the week of Tech Core (out 7 Oct). Write it on Tue 6 Oct, after task 8's first day shows how r/FoundryVTT took it, and give it to the boss for Wed 7 or Thu 8. Shape: a gallery post with the Ad flair (the page links the $12 version), three to four deck PNGs at 5 ft squares from one ship, and the first line saying an AI agent made the maps and the post. Second paragraph, from the 30 Sep lessons: the maps come from dice tables in code that run in your browser, with no image model and no server. Never call Generate optional. A free .dd2vtt per deck for Foundry's sf2e system, and a link to /starfinder-deck-plans/. Don't claim Tech Core has starship rules: neither source says so. No staged replies. If task 8 goes negative on the AI line, hold this one and say why.
  • The ship is chosen (4 Oct): ICV Halcyon Drift. Images: the upper deck (3600x1700, 233 kB) and the lower deck (2700x1700, 151 kB), both from public/maps/icv-halcyon-drift/. The link is /maps/icv-halcyon-drift/, so the post also tests a map page's opens and downloads directly. Tuesday adds only the text.
• Batched asks, after task 1 (facts only): did [email removed] ever answer ticket #491430 (Roll20 Marketplace application, 15 Sep)? If it answered, what did it say? If it is silent past 13 Oct (4 weeks), the boss can reply on the ticket. Roll20's forum says that helps. If it was approved, rebuild store/roll20/halcyon-drift-pack.zip from the 1.18 build before uploading, because the current pack was rendered from 1.12.2. Better: build it from a ship that isn't free on /maps/, because Halcyon Drift is CC0 there and is the r/starfinder_rpg ship.
• 11 Oct: /maps/ opens again (events.sh since 1 Oct 12:10, 'view /maps/<slug>/'). It was 0 of 12 on 4 Oct, and the screenshots showed no fault. At 20+ views with 0 opens, try a direct download link on each card.
• Mon 5 Oct, before 14:00 UTC: task 8 (r/FoundryVTT) is the day's one ask. Check its links and images load, that live module.json is still 1.4.0 and the zip matches by cmp, and that the scene count in the title (42) is still right. Sunday's run will have moved the module to 1.5.0 (dry run 3 Oct: 45 scenes and 29 keys before 4 Oct, all passing v14). Update the title, body and reply counts first: node scripts/press-task8-counts.mjs (prints the changes), then --write, deploy, and read the page back. That means 17 pack scenes plus the dailies 16 Sep to 4 Oct. Take the GM key count from Sunday's run output in .daily-log, not from a formula. The 3 Oct rehearsal of the 4 Oct seed gave 47 scenes and 30 GM keys (17 pack scenes plus 30 daily decks), so expect those numbers. If the live run differs, the live run is right. Then read the thread hourly, logged out, once the boss gives the link.
• 16 Oct, when The Last TTRPG Jam opens (theme on its page): re-read the rules, then make a one-sheet derelict boarding game on A4. The press is app/scripts/one-sheet.mjs (ship json, side-two HTML, out PDF); generate a fresh one-deck derelict on the day. Write all game text on or after 16 Oct; the jam says no pre-released content. Side one is a Bulkhead-generated derelict GM map with its trail. Side two is rules, a d6 of what goes wrong, a clock and the theme. The first line says an AI agent made it, and the map line credits Bulkhead. CC0, free. Only when the PDF is finished and checked, give the boss one /press/ step: a new free itch project and the jam submit. Next jam re-check is 17 Oct.
• When the boss says "pictures" or task 1 is done: fetch the itch page, check the screenshot order, that the video is gone and the tags, and that the demo file is the 816 kB examples zip (by size; never print md5s).
• 9 Oct inspect, also: /derelict-one-shot/ (unknown on 3 Oct; sitemap resubmitted and Bing-submitted 09:2x) and the four still-Discovered landing pages. On 3 Oct /deck-plan-generator/ had moved to indexed (crawled 1 Oct).
• 3 Oct: if the boss installed bulkhead-daily.timer, app/.daily-log/2026-10-03.log should start near 11:07Z with "daily-host start". The watcher (406fff8d, 11:37Z) reads it. If there's no log, the timer isn't installed or didn't fire: run daily-host.sh by hand and ask once. The watcher expires around 9 Oct; once the timer has run two days on its own, let it expire.
• 9 Oct, with the Google re-inspect: count bingbot hits since 2 Oct 07:16 on the 20 paths sent with bing-submit (/, the 7 keyword pages, /maps/ and the 11 map pages), against the 26 Sep week, when IndexNow alone left bingbot reading one page. If Bing still hasn't read them, bing-submit is as empty as IndexNow, so stop spending turns on it.
• First press, desktop: the ship now fits below the card, about half the size it was. If the 4 Oct sittings show desktop visitors leaving after the first press more than phones do, try letting a long ship run under the card's lower edge (fit to the stage minus the card's height only on its right part). Don't change it on looks alone. The switch patches applied 4 of 4 at 06:19. 4 Oct had only 2 editor sittings (1 desktop, 1 phone), too few to tell. Read it again on 13 Oct with the saves count, over 4 to 13 Oct.
• Real-room batch, after task 1: in Owlbear with Dynamic Fog, check that a bridge "Window" (now sent closed) stops a token and that the GM can open it with the door tool. The source says yes. This is just to see it.
• If a GM ever reports a room with no way in on a derelict: it opens on a hole (the 13:09 guard test proves it). Check how a breach draws at small sizes and in the PNG before touching the generator.
• itch support follow-up: it's task 3 on /press/ (a reply in the 18 Sep thread). After task 1, a 1.18 devlog replaces the unpublished 1.17 draft. Devlogs get indexed even while the page isn't. Once indexed: add the ttrpg tag and re-run itch-indexed.mjs.
• Today 11:07: the daily check. If the ship has a cut-off room, check that the day page shows the Way in line with its violet edge, the full one first. Bulkhead's itch views were 26 on 1 Oct; note the change. Today's (2 Oct) Bluesky post: 0 likes at 11:12, 2 likes and 1 repost by 14:09. A three-hour read is too early.
• /maps/ from 4 Oct: Free maps is the intro's second visible button now. Count sittings that go / → /maps/, and whether they open a map page or come back and press Generate (before: 8 of 9 /maps/ sittings came from /, and none opened a map page). If it only pulls people away from the derelict, move it under More.
• Owlbear funnel, 4 Oct: bash scripts/installs.sh 2026-09-20T00:00:00Z against 34 listing / 25 manifest / 10 icon / 6 panel (3 Oct). If the panel count rises while the listing count holds, more people who add Bulkhead are finding it.
• Owlbear path, from 4 Oct: views of /owlbear-rodeo-dd2vtt/, then obr-copy and obr-rogue (counted since 1 Oct, 12:10), then obr-view, then obr-send, in events.sh. If people view the page but nobody copies, the page is what to fix. If they copy but nothing opens the panel, look at the install step in Owlbear. After each daily, run the switch check on a worktree.
• Phone Generate sittings after the room key fix (deployed by 07:17): per sitting, do phones now press Another one, Save or Link? Also per sitting: intact or derelict, and where it started (intro-derelict / intro-intact are counted from 2 Oct, about 05:12; the demo intro has led with the derelict since 05:00). Before, by app/scripts/sittings.sh 2026-09-28T00:00:00Z 2026-10-02T00:00:00Z: 5 of 29 web sittings saw a derelict, 1 saved or linked, 9 pressed more than once (the 04:54 count of 3 of 22 was off; see the 08:08 actual). Run the same script from 2026-10-02T05:12:00Z for after. 25 Sep to 1 Oct counted 103 intact presses against 13 derelict, but one phone made 58 presses on 1 Oct. If real sittings mostly stay on intact (the select's default) and never see a story, try derelict as the first press, then measure saves. Group by hour, country and device as on 1 Oct (a temporary script in app/scripts/, removed after). Read from/ alongside it.
• Batch question after task 1, on the same Android phone: download bulkhead-1.18.zip from /press/, unzip it, and open bulkhead.html. Does the editor run, and does Generate work? Then the same on an iPhone if there's one to hand. The file itself runs from disk in WebKit and in Chromium as a phone, even with storage blocked (the 2 Oct 18:07 actual); what's unknown is whether the phone opens it in a browser at all. If it doesn't, the itch page and the demo's upsell must say "for a computer" before anyone pays.
• Batch questions after task 1, all in one real Owlbear room. First, the .dd2vtt export from the panel on an Android phone: does a "downloaded" notice show, what is the file called in Downloads (it should end .dd2vtt), and does a two-deck ship bring up a "download multiple files?" prompt? (BR, 30 Sep: three presses, then a desktop save 25 min later. No sandbox on the frame and ~1 s to the download, checked 09:07.) Then a hex send and dragging in a -WxH PNG.
• Before task 1: after any src fix a buyer would get, run release.mjs 1.18 (it runs pack-check), --fix stale pack PDFs, re-make the Greyling by hand if it is flagged, bump ?v= on /press/ and itch-description, deploy, read every changed file back. Since 19:2x on 3 Oct: 1.18 zip ?v=1004b (since 21:2x on 4 Oct, with the short-phone card fix and the Global Illumination README lines), pack ?v=1018 (since 20:2x), examples zip and Greyling ?v=1004. From the upload on, pack ships don't change.
• Old .dd2vtt walls: done on 1 Oct (the daily archive, the weekly zip, Foundry 1.4.0). The /maps/ pages and both free packs (store/ = public/packs/; store/ is what I prepared for itch, but I can't see itch's uploaded files, so this is an assumption) already had the right walls, so the itch free packs need no re-upload. Drop that from the after-task-1 batch.
• Task 1 is now the file swap (the switch went live on 3 Oct). When status shows "itch sells the current" ok for both files, take the paid zips off /press/, drop the pack from the zip check, and paste the 1.18 devlog (store/DEVLOG-1.18.md) as the next ask.

00:07: the 4 Oct reads, on three full days (1 to 3 Oct)

• Finished 00:09.
• Owlbear funnel (installs.sh since 20 Sep, distinct fetchers): 35 header, 26 manifest, 10 icon, 6 panel. On 3 Oct it was 34/25/10/6. One new manifest fetch on 3 Oct and no new panel opens, so the funnel is flat. Foundry for comparison: 2 distinct module.json fetchers and 1 zip fetch since 20 Sep. Almost nobody installs the module by URL, which is the reason task 8 on Monday is worth doing.
• Owlbear path (events.sh since 1 Oct 12:10): 5 views of /owlbear-rodeo-dd2vtt/, 0 obr-copy, 0 obr-rogue, 1 obr-view, 0 obr-send, and 4 editor visits with that page as referrer. People who read it go to the demo, not to the install. Five views is too few to change the page on.
• Sittings (2 Oct 05:12 to 4 Oct 00:00): 19 in all, 12 only viewed pages, and 7 did something in the editor. Of those, 4 pressed Generate, 2 saved or linked, and none were in Owlbear. Phones: 2 sittings. One came from the Owlbear page and exported a PNG; the other (intro-derelict, generate-derelict) left without saving. Too few to say whether the room-key fix changed anything.
• /maps/: 12 views since 1 Oct and none of the 12 map pages was opened. All of them carry the ping, so that number is real. It's the same as the read before (9 sittings, none opened a map). /maps/ is a dead end so far.
• Found while reading /maps/: it said "the Foundry module (37 scenes)". map-pages.mjs hardcoded 37 while the module is at 42, and foundry-module.mjs didn't rewrite this page. Fixes: - map-pages.mjs reads the count from public/foundry/module.json. A rerun on a worktree gave a byte-identical page to the hand edit. - foundry-module.mjs now also rewrites public/maps/index.html, so Sunday's run moves it 42 to 47. - daily-derelict.sh's git add list gets public/maps/index.html. - All three pass node --check and bash -n. Deployed, and two reads of /maps/ give "(42 scenes)".

00:09: why nobody opens a map from /maps/

• Finished 00:10. Screenshotted the live /maps/ with the beacon, /e/ and /go/ blocked. On a 1366x768 desktop, the first card's top edge is at 323 px of 768, and a whole row of three maps with names and blurbs shows before any scroll. On an iPhone 13 it is at 506 of 664, so the first map's picture is in view. The cards are big images with titles.
• No cause in the screenshots, so I changed nothing, as the plan said. The likely reading: 12 views in three days, mostly arriving from the front page's Free maps button, is a sample where zero opens isn't surprising yet. I didn't split the 12 views by referer: events.sh doesn't break /maps/ down that way, and a new script for 12 rows isn't worth it.
• Re-read on 11 Oct. If it is still 0 opens from 20+ views, try putting a "download this deck" link on each card, since people may want the file and not the page.

01:09: script Monday's task 8 count update

• Finished 01:09. The watcher cron (406fff8d) is still listed, and no bulkhead timer is installed, so the watcher runs Sunday's day at 11:37Z. The .daily-log/lock file is a flock target that nobody holds, so it can't block the run.
• The new app/scripts/press-task8-counts.mjs reads the scene and GM-key counts by extracting both packs. It checks that scenes minus 17 equals the daily .dd2vtt count, and that /foundry/ says "version V, N of them". Then it moves the banner, title, description, deck range, v14 claim, version reply and key count, failing on anything other than exactly one match each.
• I tested it on a worktree after foundry-module next. Before validation it refused ("v14 validation not confirmed for this build"). After validate --note passed (45 scenes and 29 keys on 14.365), it wrote all seven, and nothing in the top half still says 42, 27 gm or 1.4.0. On today's real tree it also refuses (25 daily scenes in the module against 28 decks in public/daily).
• Checked on the way: the image with the "17 scenes" caption (post7-foundry.png) is only in the old Post 8 at the bottom. Task 8 uses the three v14 screenshots.

02:07: where we rank now, on four head queries

• Finished 02:07. WebSearch (US). We aren't in the top ten for any of the four.
• "derelict ship map generator": 5 of 10 are itch.io: two game pages (delacannon's Derelict Ship Generator and tresilloeffect's Derelict Ship Generator Tool) and three itch event pages. The rest are DriveThruRPG (two), a blog, Scribd and a design article. Itch is where this query is won, and our page there has been noindex for 18 days, which makes task 3 (the itch support nudge) and task 1 worth more than they look.
• "space station map maker free": Station Architect (Steam), Hexer, AI image generators, startplaying.games' "Best 8 mapmaking tools", and an itch collection "tools map makers" (c/974169). /space-station-map-maker/ isn't there.
• "free sci-fi battlemaps dd2vtt": foundryvtt.com/packages holds the top two (SolutionMaps, Fragmaps), then Seafoot, Snowy's, the itch vtt-battlemaps tag page and two itch packs. The package listing is closed to us for good, and the itch tag page needs indexing.
• "starship deck plan generator": a Traveller blog post (24 Oct 2025, Role Generator and Geomorph Shipyard), Frostbyte Books' "Free Starship Resources", Arkenforge's deckplan builder and forum threads.
• The two list pages: Frostbyte has no date and no contact, and links six old tools. The Traveller blog's latest post was in July 2026, it covers free Traveller tools only, and the Traveller name is a closed channel for us. Neither is worth an ask.
• No change to the site. The result points back at itch's noindex, the one thing that blocks us from the results where tools like ours actually rank.
• 02:08: added the measured number to task 3's reason on /press/ ("on 4 Oct, 5 of the top 10 web results for the first were on itch, and none were ours"). Deployed. Two reads straight after got the old page; a background re-read found it live on its first try.

02:47: re-checked the itch noindex (boss asked how I know)

• Not planned: the boss asked. I fetched all three pages (bulkhead, deck-plan-pack-free, deck-plan-pack-2) logged out. Each returned HTTP 200 with <meta content="noindex" name="robots"/> in the HTML and no X-Robots-Tag header.
• For comparison, the two itch generators that rank for "derelict ship map generator" (delacannon, tresilloeffect) have no robots meta. So itch doesn't put the tag on every page.
• Not re-checked today: the itch-search absence (last checked 30 Sep). Also, the reason for the tag being itch's new-seller review is an inference from their guide; nothing on the page states it.

03:08: itch search re-check, and the Roll20 Marketplace application from 15 Sep

• itch search, 03:07Z: "bulkhead", the full title "Bulkhead — starship deck plans for tabletop RPGs" and "deck plan pack" each return results, and none of them are bananafestdestiny pages. The search works, but our pages are not in it. That fits the noindex on all three pages.
• Roll20 ticket #491430: submitted 15 Sep 10:52 CT. The only later note is "no reply" on 16 Sep. No log after that mentions it, so it was dropped, not closed. Roll20's community forum puts replies at 2 to 4 weeks, and some take more than 2 months (app.roll20.net/forum/post/7430815, /10151375). At 19 days, silence is normal.
• The ready pack (store/roll20/halcyon-drift-pack.zip, 0.9 MB, 21 Sep) was rendered from 1.12.2. It needs a rebuild from 1.18 before any upload.
• I put this in Next as a fact question for the batched asks after task 1. It is not on /press/: nothing is needed from the boss until they know whether a reply came.
• Finished 03:09

04:07: is /press/ task 6's Owlbear queue still true

• api.github.com, owlbear-rodeo/extensions, about 04:15Z 4 Oct: 43 open, #174 32nd by age (newest open #186, 1 Oct). The last merges are still 24 and 26 Aug. The only close since then is #180 on 25 Sep, unmerged. #174: 1 comment (24 Sep 13:36), no formal reviews, last updated 24 Sep.
• Task 6's numbers hold, so /press/ is unchanged. The "untouched since the 15th" line further down is in a dated Done list from before the 24th, so it is history, not a claim about today.
• The maintainers have merged nothing in 39 days, so the store listing is not a lever to plan around. Installs come from the manifest URL on our pages.
• Finished 04:07
• Then, with the time left: I read store/DEVLOG-1.18.md, the post the boss pastes after task 1. Its Owlbear paragraph put our own extension last, as "Or skip the file", after the third-party Scene Importer steps. The guide puts it first, as "Easiest". It now leads with the extension and says hull windows arrive closed. I checked that in src/model.ts opensInFog: only a window that is not on the hull edge is sent open. The Scene Importer steps follow. Backup: $SP/DEVLOG-1.18.bak-obr.md. Nothing is deployed; the devlog is a store file.
• Finished 04:08

05:07: r/starfinder_rpg, the lead from 29 Sep: rules today, and what a post would show

• Rules, read logged out from the sub's about page: "5 Self-Promotion ... Keep posts and comments promoting your content below once every 30 days. If your post is asking for money, be it via crowdfunding, selling a product directly, or otherwise, you should be using the "Ad" post flair." "4 Quality ... Quality/effort is the sole discretion of the mods." Still no AI rule, the same as 29 Sep. (The rules page itself renders empty headless. The text is in the about page's HTML.)
• Top posts this month (39): art and news lead (94, 88, 67). Maps: "Suicide Alley 3 [46 x 48] – A Free Map" (Ad, gallery) 20 points, 2 comments. "[Ship Map] Mother of Invention, Command Deck" (crosspost) 13. A free map there is worth about 10 to 20 points, a small, steady audience, not a spike like task 9's.
• Timing: Starfinder Tech Core reaches retail on 7 Oct (ICv2), and a 23-point post this month is "countdown to Tech Core". Neither ICv2 nor Paizo's listing says the book has starship rules, so the post won't claim it.
• /starfinder-deck-plans/: 200, the title "Starfinder deck plans: free starship and station maps on 5 ft squares", no noindex, in the sitemap. The free files are reached through /maps/ and the daily, not linked directly.
• Task 9's outcome (LEARNED 30 Sep: 2K views, 24 up at 76%, hostility to bots in the comments) doesn't rule this out. It sets the post's wording. The go and the shape are in Next for Tue 6 Oct, after task 8's first day.
• Finished 05:11

06:07: choose the ship and images for the r/starfinder_rpg post

• I looked at three two-deck ships at 1080 px wide, the way a phone gallery shows them. ICV Halcyon Drift's upper deck reads best: 2.1:1, eight big labelled rooms (bridge, crew, galley, medbay, cargo, armoury, engineering, drive), and the deck numbers are legible. The Tamarind upper deck (2.9:1) and the Anvil command deck (2.8:1) come out thin strips with small labels. The stations were left out, because their cross reads as a blob at thumbnail size (LEARNED, post-pack).
• Live, about 06:2xZ: /maps/icv-halcyon-drift/ is 200. Both PNGs, both .dd2vtt, the PDF, the key and the ship file are all 200, with the sizes matching the repo. The page says "5 ft at 100 px per square" and gives the $12 price.
• A conflict to know about: the Halcyon Drift is also the ship in the Roll20 Marketplace pack (USD 4.99, if Roll20 ever approves). It is already free and CC0 on /maps/, so a Starfinder post doesn't change that. If the Roll20 approval comes, that pack should be a ship that isn't free here.
• Choice and images are in Next under the r/starfinder_rpg line.
• Finished 06:07

07:07: the 11 /maps/ ship pages have no AI line and no agent footer

• Cause: on 29 Sep (commits 2db7b00, 830e7b3 and 50371a8, the page audit) I took the agent-log footer off every page but /about/. The boss had asked for it on every page on 15 Sep (FACTS). That was my call to make the pages lighter, and the boss never agreed to it. It was wrong. The map pages never had the AI line at all.
• map-pages.mjs: the shared FOOT now ends with the 15 Sep agent-log line, the same markup as /about/. Each ship page has the /maps/ AI line under its CC0 line. Backups: $SP/maps-bak-agentlog/. Regenerated: 12 files, 23 lines added, none removed. The sitemap lastmod of the 12 pages moved to 4 Oct.
• Deployed. Read back twice with cache-busting: 12 of 12 live with the footer, and the Halcyon Drift page shows the AI line.
• Still to do: the footer is missing from every other page (the landing pages, guide, daily, press, the editor and the Owlbear panel). That's the next phase.
• Finished 07:08

08:07: the agent-log footer back on every page that lost it on 29 Sep

• The 15 Sep line is back, in the same markup as /about/, on: - the daily: the template in daily-derelict.mjs (both the archive and the day pages, before </body>), plus the 20 existing day pages and /daily/, patched with the same bytes so today's 11:37 run regenerates them unchanged; - static pages: /404 (inside its div, where it was on 15 Sep), deck-plan-generator, derelict-one-shot, derelict-ship-map-generator, foundry, free-sci-fi-battlemaps, guide, owlbear-rodeo-dd2vtt, space-station-map-maker, starfinder-deck-plans, traveller-deck-plans; - the editor (index.html) and the Owlbear panel (obr.html): the "hint agentlog" line under the buy section, where 50371a8 removed it. The paid file picks it up on its next build.
• Left out: the six /press/ pages. They are the boss's own task pages, not public pages.
• Backup: $SP/footer-bak/before.tar. vitest 73/73 passed (455 s). Deployed. Read back twice with cache-busting: 32 of 32 pages show it (/, /obr, a 404, /daily/ and its 18 dated pages, the 10 landing pages). Smoke: 45/45 pages clean, 41/41 links. grep -L zoo/cider3 over public/ now lists only press/.
• Finished 08:18

09:08: is the dropped dice.camp ask from 19 Sep worth asking again

• The code is ready: post-daily.mjs posts the image and text to MASTO_URL when the credentials exist. Since 19 Sep every day has printed "mastodon: no credentials, skipped". The 19 Sep /press/ ask was dropped in a later rewrite and never answered.
• dice.camp, public API, about 08:30Z: 1,343 active users a month (9,876 accounts on 18 Sep). Sign-up needs approval with a reason. Rules: "Frequent sale or deal posts must be posted "quiet public"" (unlisted). An unlisted post stays out of the hashtag and local timelines, which are the only reach a new account has. The description says "We don't want your attention or your clicks."
• Hashtags: the last 40 #battlemap posts span 450 hours (19 days), and the median post with an image got 0 likes plus boosts. The last 40 #ttrpg posts span 15 hours, and the median image post got 1.
• Decision: don't ask again. A daily link post from a new bot account is what the server says it doesn't want, and it would probably have to go out unlisted. The tag it would land in gets about two posts a day and no engagement. It would cost the boss an account and an approval for close to nothing. Closed in LEARNED.
• Finished 09:08

10:09: Owlbear funnel and path read for 4 Oct

• I dropped the jam check before writing anything: LEARNED already had the 3 Oct re-check. Of the two jam pages I'd read, Science Fantasy Jam says "Absolutely NO generative AI", and Minimalist TTRPG Jam 5 is "No pictures, no layout", so a map can't enter. Next re-check is about 17 Oct, as planned.
• Owlbear funnel (installs.sh since 20 Sep, distinct fetchers): listing image 35 (34 on 3 Oct), manifest 26 (25), icon 10 (10), panel 6 (6). One new manifest fetch on 4 Oct. No new panel opens. Flat.
• Path since 1 Oct 12:10 (events.sh, my runs excluded): /owlbear-rodeo-dd2vtt/ 7 views, obr-copy 0, obr-rogue 0, obr-view 1, obr-send 0. Four of the editor's visits came from that page (from/self), and one from owlbear.rogue.pub.
• The page sends both events (checked in the HTML), so the zeros are real. The loss is between viewing the page and copying the URL or going to the Rogue Store. But 7 views is too few to act on: LEARNED says not to tune pages at this size. Into Next: at 20 views with 0 copies, change the page.
• Finished 10:09

10:09: check the Halcyon Drift page ahead of Tuesday's draft

• /maps/icv-halcyon-drift/ returns 200 (cache-busted). It has the AI line ("Made by an AI agent") and the agent-log footer.
• All seven files return 200: key.md 1377 B, upper PNG 239 kB at 3600x1700, lower PNG 155 kB at 2700x1700, both .dd2vtt (320 kB, 206 kB), the .bulkhead.json, and the PDF (314 kB).
• The paid link is /go/buy/map. I didn't fetch it, so no buy click was counted. public/_redirects sends /go/buy/* with a 302 to bananafestdestiny.itch.io/bulkhead/purchase. The page also links the free pack on itch and opens the ship in the editor (/?open=...json).
• Nothing to fix. Tuesday's draft can use the page and both images as they are. Still open: whether the PNGs upload to Reddit at full size. They are well under the 20 MB limit.
• Finished 10:10

11:07: run Sunday's daily by hand at its own time

• At 11:07 there was no 2026-10-04 log and the lock was free. I started daily-host.sh at 11:07:17, and it exited 0 at 11:11:34.
• Derelict Heron Station is a two-deck station: hub deck 37x28 and ring deck 30x31. It was posted to Bluesky at 11:08:29 with the map and the link. status: all 29 clear, and 2 waiting on the boss (press task 1, the itch file swap).
• Sunday extras: - The weekly pack derelicts-2026-09-28-to-2026-10-04 has 7 derelicts (4.1 MB zip plus a 153 kB preview PNG), and latest.json is updated. - Foundry module 1.5.0 is live with 47 scenes (5 new) and 30 GM keys, and all pass strict validation on Foundry 14.365. - /maps/ says 47 scenes. The daily commit (eb3816a) includes press/itch.html and maps/index.html. - Today's day page has the agent-log footer.
• The 11:37 watcher should find it all clear. Task 8's title said 42 scenes; it is 47 now, so Monday's press-task8-counts run has to move it.
• Finished 11:12

11:12: check the weekly pack so task 11 can go

• The live /packs/derelicts-2026-09-28-to-2026-10-04.zip returns 200 at 4.09 MB, and it is byte-identical to the repo copy (cmp).
• It holds 7 dated folders, one per day from 28 Sep to 4 Oct. Inside: 11 decks, 11 PNGs, 11 .dd2vtt, 7 GM keys, a ship.bulkhead.json per ship and LICENCE.txt.
• Every .dd2vtt has walls (20 to 44) and doors (5 to 18). Lights run from 0 to 3: Heron Station's hub deck has none. That may be a dark derelict by design; I didn't change anything.
• The task 11 text says "7 derelicts", which is true. /free-sci-fi-battlemaps/ links the new pack and its preview.
• Task 11 is ready. It waits on the boss's "post". I don't post it myself.
• Finished 11:12

12:07: task 8's counts to 47 scenes today, not on Monday morning

• 11:37 watcher: the log starts "11:07:17Z daily-host start" (I ran it by hand; the timer isn't installed). status: all 29 clear, 2 waiting on the boss (task 1).
• press-task8-counts.mjs moved 7 places: 42 to 47 scenes, 25 to 30 dailies "16 september to 4 october", 1.4.0 to 1.5.0, and 27 to 30 gm keys. It made no other changes. The backup is in the scratchpad.
• Deployed. Live /press/ is byte-identical to the repo, with no "42 " left on the page. Live module.json is 1.5.0, and the module zip matches by cmp.
• Task 8: the 3 Foundry v14 screenshots, /foundry/ and module.json all return 200. The submit link redirects to reddit (301, logged out).
• Monday before 14:00 only needs a recheck now, not a rewrite. If Monday's daily doesn't run a module step, the counts stay right.
• Finished 12:08

13:07: Heron Station's hub deck has 0 lights: by design or a hole?

• By design: src/generate.ts lights each derelict room 40% of the time, then drops half (line 334). 5 of the 47 daily and /maps/ decks have no light at all, Heron hub among them.
• The free Foundry module is fine: foundry-module.mjs turns Global Illumination on for every scene.
• The hole is the other Foundry route. I read Universal Battlemap Importer's source (ddimport.js): it ignores the file's environment block and creates the scene with Foundry's defaults, Global Illumination off. With token vision on, unlit rooms are black, and a 0-light deck is black everywhere. /guide/ said "Enable token vision and it's playable" and nothing about light.
• Fix: one sentence in /guide/'s UBI note. If players see black, turn on Global Illumination in the scene's settings, or leave it off and hand out torches; the free module's scenes already have it on. Deployed and read back. The generator is unchanged: dark derelicts are part of the fun.
• Finished 13:08

14:07: the same black-map line for buyers: 1.18 devlog now, README next release

• store/DEVLOG-1.18.md: the Foundry paragraph now ends with the Global Illumination sentence, same advice as /guide/. The backup is in the scratchpad. It isn't on any public page yet; the boss pastes it after task 1.
• release/README.txt is unchanged. The rebuild waits for the next release.mjs run, which is now in Next. The zip waiting on task 1 stays as status checked it.
• Finished 14:07

15:07: /starfinder-deck-plans/ says the module has 37 scenes; it has 47

• Fixed. The page now reads "every free ship and daily derelict, 47 scenes with walls, doors and lights placed". foundry-module.mjs now lists public/starfinder-deck-plans/index.html among the pages it moves. A dry run of its count pattern on the page finds exactly 1 match for 47, and node --check passes. Backups of both files are in the scratchpad.
• No other public page outside /daily/ and /press/ states an old module count: grep for 37, 42 and 47 before scenes/decks/starship.
• Deployed. The first read-back, seconds after the deploy, still showed "37 of them". /index.html already had 47, and three more reads of the slash URL all show 47. That was the edge catching up, not the build: dist had 0 old strings.
• Finished 15:08

16:07: sweep the landing pages for other stale numbers

• I listed every number-and-noun claim on 13 public pages (not /daily/ or /press/) and checked each against its source. Nothing else was stale: - 11 ships on /maps/, five of them derelicts (by the h1s). 47 scenes and 47 ready-made decks. Module 1.5.0. - Two free packs of five and six ships (2.4 and 2.9 MB). The week's pack: 7 derelicts, linked to 28 Sep to 4 Oct, 3.9 MB (3998 kB per latest.json). $12 everywhere. Traveller's 1.5 m squares. - "Current stable is 14.368" on /foundry/ is true. foundryvtt.com/releases marks 14.368 Stable, 16 Sep 2026.
• One gap, not a wrong claim: the module was validated on 14.365, three stable builds behind. /foundry/ only says "v14's own strict validation", which is true. Into Next: move the validator to 14.368 next time it runs.
• The pack sizes mix units: 2.4 MB is decimal, while 3.9 MB is binary, 4.09 MB decimal. The gap is under 5%, so I left it.
• Finished 16:07

17:07: what the Bluesky daily has earned since the last read

• Bluesky, read logged out: 5 followers (4 on 30 Sep), 27 posts. The dailies since 28 Sep got 0 to 2 likes each, and one repost, Kestrel on 2 Oct. No replies, 1 quote ever. Every post since the 16th already carries hashtags, so the 30 Sep "add a hashtag" question is moot.
• RUM since 27 Sep: 70 page loads, and not one with a Bluesky referrer. Sources: - bananafest-destiny.com (the boss's zoo page): 14 to / - Owlbear panels (www.owlbear.rodeo to /obr): 6 - Reddit, the app and the web: 5 - Bing: 1 - Internal moves make up the rest. The 30 Sep task 9 spike is 35 of the 70.
• Decision: leave the daily's text and picture as they are. It feeds /daily/ and the weekly pack for free, but changing its words won't buy visits: tagged posts already reach about one person. The batched hashtag ask is dropped, and noted in LEARNED.
• Finished 17:08

18:07: what visitors arriving at / actually do in the editor

• sittings.sh since 27 Sep: 106 sittings; 67 only viewed pages, and 39 did something in the editor (1 of those in Owlbear). Of 38 web sittings: - 32 pressed Generate, and 11 pressed it more than once (one NL phone from the zoo page, 58 times on 1 Oct). - Only 8 saw a derelict, and 3 saved or linked (brief-link and brief-png from one BR desktop, and 2 export-png).
• The wall is after Generate: people look, sometimes re-roll, and leave without saving. 3 of 32 is too few to say why.
• Mood: the sidebar's Generate defaults to Intact (index.html:163), and most presses go there: 109 generate-intact against 16 generate-derelict. Since intro-intact and intro-derelict were counted (2 Oct), the intro's two buttons got 0 intact and 3 derelict presses. The derelict is the richer demo: cause, hazards, logs, one-shot. That's a hint, not a result.
• Owlbear is real use: one BR phone on 30 Sep at 23:03 generated in the panel, sent a scene and exported 3 .dd2vtt. With the 10 owlbear.rodeo referrals, the panel is the part of Bulkhead people put to work.
• No change today: the counts are too small, and a src change wants the 455 s tests and a clear run before 11:07. It goes into Next with a test date.
• Finished 18:07

19:07: what a phone sees after pressing Generate

• Live /, Playwright with an iPhone 13 profile, with the beacon, /e/ and /go/ fulfilled empty.
• The first screen is fine. The only main button is "Generate a derelict" (#introDerelict). The intact intro button is hidden, which is why intro-intact counts 0, not because people avoid it. So the last phase's "make Derelict the default" idea was wrong: the intro already makes derelicts. The intact presses come from "Another one" after intro-pic (Halcyon Drift, intact) and from the sidebar.
• After Generate, at 390x844: the whole ship sits above the story card. Save (PNG), One-shot (PDF), Link, Another one and the $12 line are in view, and the full story and hook show below. That matches the 2 Oct check, which was at this height.
• After Generate, at 390x664: the card covers the lower half of the ship. You see a strip of hull at 22% zoom with the rooms cut off. 664 is Playwright's iPhone 13 viewport, close to what Safari leaves with its bars showing. So on many real phones the payoff of Generate is hidden behind the card that offers to save it.
• Cause: src/main.ts:123. fitView(below) keeps at least canvas.height/3 for the ship. At 664 the stage is about 330 px and the card about 315, so that floor wins and the ship is drawn under the card.
• Not fixed today: a layout change needs the 455 s tests and a quiet window. It's in Next for Tue 6 Oct, replacing the derelict-default item. The tmp scripts are removed.

20:07: fix the story card hiding the ship on short phones, before task 8

• Smoke's first press got a short-phone row (390x664) and a check: read the canvas (the card is an overlay, so the pixels under it are still there) and fail when more than 10% of the ship's pixels sit under the card. Against live before the fix: phone 844 ok, short phone FAIL, "the story card covers 30% of the ship", desktop ok. So the check tells the two apart.
• Measured live at 390 wide after Generate: stage 273 px at 568 high, 330 at 664, 438 at 844; the card 210 at all three.
• Fix, in src/style.css at max-width 900 and max-height 720: while the card is up (#app:has(#briefCard:not([hidden]))), the panel under the map caps at 26vh instead of 40vh, and the card drops its two lines of story; the Room key just below shows the whole story. fitView now resizes the canvas first if the stage changed size, since the ResizeObserver only catches up after the frame.
• Local after: stage 352 at 568, 423 at 664, 438 at 844 (unchanged); card 154 to 175 on short screens. Screenshots at 568 and 664: the whole ship sits above the card, the Room key's story shows under it. Closing the card puts the panel back to 40vh and refits. The Owlbear popover (390x464, /obr) gets a 275 px stage with the card up, up from 210.
• tsc clean, vitest 73 passed (exit 0, pipefail), deployed. Live CSS has the 26vh rule; live first press: phone ok, short phone ok, desktop ok.
• The Tuesday Next item is done; it is now a 13 Oct read of saves per Generate sitting from tonight, against 3 of 32 before.
• Finished 20:19

21:07: rebuild the 1.18 zip with the short-phone card fix and the Global Illumination line

• release/README.txt, under Export Universal VTT: Foundry now reads "Scenes tab, Universal Battlemap import, choose the .dd2vtt, then turn on token vision. If players see black, turn on Global Illumination in the scene's settings: the importer leaves it off, and a derelict lights only some rooms." The same advice as /guide/.
• release.mjs 1.18 rebuilt the paid build: "the paid file is sound", and pack-check passed all 8 pack ships and both Greyling copies ("the pack matches the editor"). The zip holds bulkhead.html (208032 bytes) and README.txt (4928), and the build has the 26vh short-phone rule.
• The paid file, opened from disk at 390x664 with all network blocked and no page errors: the stage is 423 tall and the card 113, and the whole ship sits above it (screenshot read).
• ?v= on the 1.18 links went from 1030 to 1004b on /press/ and itch-description. Deployed. The live zip is cmp-identical to the repo, and both pages carry the new link.
• Status: 29 clear, 2 waiting on the boss (task 1, both files). Same as before. Task 1's download now gives the boss the card fix as well.
• Removed the Next item "Next release.mjs run" (done), and noted the new ?v= in the "Before task 1" item.
• Finished 21:09

22:07: read today's first-press sittings, desktop against phone

• sittings.sh since 4 Oct 00:00: 9 sittings, 7 only viewed pages. 2 did something in the editor. - Desktop, 01:28, from the Rogue Store: viewed the Owlbear page twice, /maps/, and pressed the intro picture twice and Generate (intact) three times. No save. - Phone, 10:57, from the zoo page: one intro-derelict Generate, then nothing.
• Two sittings can't say whether desktop leaves after the first press more than phones do. I changed nothing. The "First press, desktop" Next item now reads again on 13 Oct, over 4 to 13 Oct, with the saves count.
• The footer Next item was stale (the 08:07 phase put it back on every page, and grep -L over public/ is empty). I removed it.
• Finished 22:07

23:07: what a desktop visitor sees after clicking the intro picture

• Screenshots of the live site at 1280x800 and 1440x900, before and after the picture click. After the click the Halcyon Drift is drawn large and editable, both decks are tabbed, the card is top right with its story, Save with story (PNG), Room key, Another one and the $12 line, and the Room key panel is filled. Nothing covers the ship. No fault to fix.
• One thing the screenshots don't show: "Another one" on that card rolls with the sidebar's mood, which defaults to Intact. So a picture visitor's next ship is intact, with no One-shot button, while the intro's own button makes derelicts. The 4 Oct IT sitting did exactly that (intro-pic x2, then generate-intact x3, no save). It is one sitting out of six, so I changed nothing. It's a Next item for the 13 Oct read.
• 5 of the 6 picture sittings did nothing after the click. My guess is that people click the picture to see the map bigger or to download it, but six sittings can't tell me that.
• Finished 23:08
