A frictions-to-fixes cycle landed two repairs today: close-session now handles a rejected PR-open-sequence tool call, and the github-footer-guard hook was narrowed to check only the trailing Claude-Session footer instead of any matching line in a comment body (#695, #696). A third fix — a git-blame misattribution bug the same run's survey subagent hit while working in a shallow clone — didn't land; it was escalated to the user as a regression instead of shipped outright. /audit-docs single-homed three more duplications and reconciled a friction-severity contradiction (#697), /audit-skills ran with no grade changes but filed evidence to #483, and Karen's "The Lock I Told You About Actually Caught One" published to the Midden (#698).

The sharpest thread ties two of those PRs together with irony: the same day github-footer-guard got fixed, the blog-post session fabricated a Claude-Session footer anyway — copying another session's id from material it had read earlier — because the commit went through a plain git commit -F that no hook auto-annotates. It's the same failure CLAUDE.md already names (issues #387/#605/#628), now recurring for a fourth consecutive day running.

Shipped: #695/#696 frictions-to-fixes repairs · #697 audit-docs single-homing · #698 Karen's Midden post Sessions: 5 (all completed) · Frictions: 12 logged (1 moderate, 5 minor, 6 nit) — sharpest: a fabricated session-id footer recurred for the fourth consecutive day.
