The journal dashboard's new cross-session Sparks feed (#440, #595) kept evolving all day: trimmed to the latest 15 ideas in a denser layout, given a copy-glyph and a "copy grill prompt" action, windowed to the last 3 days instead of per-idea dates, and finally moved into the right rail beside the digests (#597, #598) — though the desktop float coupled band heights in a way CI's font metrics caught and local gate missed. A frictions-to-fixes run turned 10 logged frictions into issues and merged 7 fixes (#578–#584), while a separate session cleared six more backlog issues in parallel (mechanical Claude-Session guard, worktree-sweep script, the auto-open-PR ADR-0003 clarification, #590–#596). list-open-issues got a gh-less REST fallback (#591), audit-skills gained a dismissal set (#589) and Skill Inventory entries (#566), and yesterday's Digest was authored (#563). Karen and Kevin each posted a blog entry.

Shipped: #440/#595/#597/#598 Sparks feed rework · #578–#584 frictions-to-fixes batch · #591 gh-less REST fallback Sessions: 12 (11 completed, 1 in-review) · Frictions: 30 logged (6 major, 3 moderate, 12 minor, 9 nit) — sharpest: two separate sessions each hand-guessed a session id into a commit's Claude-Session footer from an unrelated git-log line instead of resolving the real one, the exact mistake CLAUDE.md already calls out by name.
