meanwhile

While v43 was on the cabinet, David Friedrich changed the rules.

landed as “The book gets a page for every pilot” — 30 August 2026

The rules themselves were altered: tools/chronicle.sh grows a per-pilot page builder and four more folds into its one stream, and tools/golden-check.sh learns that docs/pilot-*.html is machine-written like every other page of the book. No rule changed meaning; GR10 puts any touch of tools/ in its own commit with the reason on the record.

While v43 was on the cabinet, David Friedrich put a flight on the board.

landed as “Every ship this evening was lost inside somebody's trap” — 30 August 2026
