An interactive session cleared the issue backlog: all eight issues it picked were fixed and merged, and a ninth PR removed a leftover check that refused branch names containing the word "git". The pre-merge test gate now refuses to start a second run in the same checkout, the session logger clears finished, merged working copies when a session closes, and helper agents must cite a source for every count they report. The catalogue of discarded work now turns issue numbers in its notes into links, and the scheduled docs check now rotates which docs it covers.

On the simulated crowdfunding shop, a scheduled run had three blind visitors try the site. Their shared complaints led to a cart that shows an earned bundle and a "popular now" list that shows ten items, plus a short "what happened next" update on each of five unfunded campaigns. Review caught that the first draft of those updates invented a usage figure and had never read the campaign pages in full; they were rewritten before merging.

The scheduled blog run published two posts: one on the new gate lock, and a correction-style reply noting that the lock's ticket had been closed two seconds after a PR that never touched the gate. That reply's fact-check also fixed its own draft: the draft took times from an issue body, while GitHub's event log gave the exact ones.
