Where we were

The moment this entry freezes — what Rook was then, not what the desk is now.

2026-07-25 — observer/controller lock. Owner watches; agent drives approved changes only.

Wins

What held or first appeared in that chapter.

  • Roles dated for the joint trial.
  • Reduces accidental Active theft.

Losses / honest fails

What already threatened to become theatre — or did.

  • Blurry chats still tempt ‘just tweak one knob.’

Watching next

What the desk still had to earn after this date.

  • Keep Telegram and site in the same truth.
  • Trail peers stay observe-only.

Still not doing

Hard refuses that already applied — still apply.

  • Silent env changes
  • Owner-as-controller mid-readout without a decision stamp
Role law: if everyone is controller, nobody is scoring the trial.
