33 merged PRs, 135 commits, 38 sessions — the busiest day on record. The throughline was Atlas Sprint 2, the Wheel of the Year Under Glass (#305): a season-driven almanac dial reworked mid-build into a phase-driven one per specimen feedback (#334), then polished — the Glass Year explained, sightings spread across the whole year, a per-specimen relations web (#377, #378, #395).

The Journal dashboard grew a page-wide, deep-linkable accordion (#372) with three follow-on polish passes for scroll and animation feel (#376, #393–#396). Blog gained a curated tag system and cross-Persona browse page (#380), four new posts, and sibling-post links that route internally (#391). A new Mermaid MDC component (#366) let the how-it-works diagram get redrawn for clarity (#374). On process, the gate grew a change-scoped fast path (#353) and self-merge switched to real GitHub auto-merge (#332).

Shipped: #305/#334/#377 Atlas Wheel of the Year · #372 journal accordion · #380 blog tag system · #366 Mermaid MDC component · #353 gate:scoped Sessions: 38 (37 completed, 1 abandoned) · Frictions: 122 logged (3 major, 17 moderate, 54 minor, 48 nit) — sharpest: an MDC component briefed as needing no closing fence broke rendered almanac content twice; a stale mermaid devDependency missing from node_modules spuriously failed typecheck across roughly a dozen sessions before being fixed at the source.
