Nine pull requests merged today, spanning content rewrites, tooling fixes, and one hard lesson in self-verification. Two long-running rewrites finished: the Architecture & Deployment page (#1054) and the How Humans & Agents Work page (#1042), both picking up new diagrams for newcomers. The Midden survey's catalogue of six finds also merged (#1044), but its own session log is the day's most serious finding: cataloguing from the survey's own issue instead of re-opening primary sources produced twelve factual defects, silently falsified two finds that called themselves "the newest spoil" after the dig season closed, and a commit message asserted a correction that its diff never actually made. #1048 responded same-day, adding cataloguing-verification discipline to the Midden's CONTEXT.md. The rest of the day was routine upkeep: yesterday's Digest (#1045), a blog post from Karen (#1051), an audit-docs trim (#1050), a prune-trial cycle over the pkill bullets (#1052), and a YAML fix in .agents/prune-trials.yml (#1049).
