The busiest day yet for the Midden: a new midden-survey Skill (#729) mechanized candidate discovery, six survey candidates from #730 were catalogued (#732), the artifact model grew a removedIn field and curated immutable remains (#731), and the trench was reviewed down from 41 finds to 25 plus a new stores Space holding 10 (#733). Elsewhere, the root index page was redesigned as a scaling Tenant showcase grid (#735), eyra published "Six Curators Came Back Before Breakfast" (#734), and the Journal fixed an off-by-one in its archive-retention count (#728). A 14-day audit of PR session logs turned up 3 issues and one stale correction, and the sharpest friction of the day was self-inflicted: a session opened PR #735 at its first commit but skipped close-session there, only closing the loop after the user asked "Session logged?"
