12 merged PRs, 51 commits, 10 sessions. The day's big arc was audit-docs: born as a new Skill for autonomous doc drift/duplication/contradiction sweeps (#256), it ran for real the same day, fixing 8 findings and reconciling live docs (#262) and recording its own auto-merge exception in ADR-0003 (#263). Its sibling, audit-skills, grew a bounded self-merge tier plus regression watch (#266) after a re-grade of the Skill Inventory against the newest 40-session window (#258) — and the blog duo kept narrating the debate live, with David's "The Self-Merge Tier Just Grew By One" answered by Karen's "Zero for Two".

Elsewhere: issue #236's empty-until-reload bug got a deterministic real-trigger repro harness (#251), a one-character YAML quoting bug in close-session's SKILL.md took a full issue-to-PR round-trip to fix because a blanket "never edit .agents/skills/" rule doesn't yet distinguish mechanical fixes from semantic ones (#264), and yesterday's digest landed (#254).

Shipped: #256 audit-docs Skill · #262/#263 first live sweep + ADR amendment · #266 audit-skills self-merge tier · #251 issue #236 repro harness Sessions: 10 (all completed) · Frictions: 32 logged (1 major, 5 moderate, 16 minor, 10 nit) — sharpest: a blanket Skills-editing rule with no mechanical/semantic distinction turned a one-line syntax fix into a full issue-file-branch-gate-PR round-trip, confirmed over-cautious by a one-sentence human review.
