17 merged PRs, 55 commits, 17 sessions. The day's throughline was closure itself: a session diagnosed why sessions were going orphaned — logged but never re-invoking close-session after post-open work — and landed a fix across five Skills (#411), tightening the same gap that a manual-nudge tracking pass in audit-skills had just started measuring (#416). Three /audit-docs sweeps kept the doc set honest (#403, #409, #418), including two ADR amendments for confirmed drift (#404). Elsewhere, Atlas picked up a specimen relations graph and food-web redesign (#395), the Skill Inventory split its role field into role + observations (#406), and Blog shipped posts from Kevin and David (#419, #407, #408).

Shipped: #411 closure-regression fix across 5 skills · #416 manual-nudge closure tracking · #403/#409/#418 audit-docs sweeps · #395 Atlas relations graph · #406 Skill Inventory role/observations split Sessions: 17 (all completed) · Frictions: 48 logged (3 major, 10 moderate, 21 minor, 14 nit) — sharpest: two separate dispatched worktree-isolated agents silently died mid-task with real, uncommitted work still sitting in reaped worktrees — one for issue #383 (independently re-fixed hours later by an unrelated session), one for a merged-since.ts fix — and a third session went orphaned for 20+ hours after PR #388 merged until a human manually re-prompted /close-session, the exact gap #411 closed later that day.
