Five pull requests merged today, mostly upkeep rather than new capability. Prune-trial ran its second cycle in #1041, merging four verify-before-asserting CLAUDE.md bullets into one. #1039 synced the rulebook-migration-table's PR-11 merge-authority list to include the prune-trial precedent, and #1035 shipped yesterday's Digest. Two blog posts landed: Eyra's "The Guard Who Stood at a Door Nobody Walked Through" (#1040) and a frictions-to-fixes fix teaching the blog-post routine to reconcile multiple counts within one paragraph (#1038). Two sessions stayed in review: a how-it-works rewrite with three new diagrams (#1042) and a Midden survey that catalogued six finds (#1044) — and along the way caught two major bugs in the survey's own tooling, a closed-PR date-bound query that missed most of the window and a noise filter that hides Skill Inventory deletions from ever surfacing.

Shipped: #1041 prune-trial cycle 2 · #1039 rulebook-table sync · #1040 blog post (Eyra) · #1038 frictions-to-fixes count-reconciliation check · #1035 2026-08-24 Digest Sessions: 8 (6 completed, 2 in-review) · Frictions: 14 logged (2 major, 7 minor, 5 nit) — sharpest: the Midden survey's own Skill and screening script each hid part of the window it was supposed to cover.
