# Team

**Eighteen rows. Nothing is connected. No credential exists for any of them**
(ADR-20, ADR-30).

One charter per curator at `Atlas/team/<slug>.md`, one per (venture × tool) pair
(ADR-04). **Curators read and return structured findings. Only Hobbs edits files,
creates tasks, or produces a brief** (constitution rule 3). New charters are
filled in from **[`_TEMPLATE.md`](_TEMPLATE.md)**, not composed.

**Four statuses, and the difference between them is the point** (ADR-30 clause 4):

| | |
|---|---|
| **grantable-today** | No credential exists to issue. Waiting on a sentence |
| **chartered-not-granted** | The credential exists and is narrow. Waiting on Rowan, and nothing else |
| **chartered-blocked** | **The platform offers no narrow credential.** Not waiting on Rowan |
| **refused** | Decided against, with the reasoning in the file |

## The roster

| Slug | Name | Scope | Tier | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [quiet](quiet.md) | **Wren** `wr` | all × the vault | inherits highest | **grantable-today** — `hobbs-0w4` |
| [school-calendar](school-calendar.md) | **Term** `tm` | family × the school's published calendar | highly-sensitive | **grantable-today** — `hobbs-wkj` |
| [calendar-rowan](calendar-rowan.md) | **Bell** `bl` | all × Rowan's calendar | highly-sensitive | chartered-not-granted |
| [calendar-maya](calendar-maya.md) | **Marsh** `mh` | maya × the shared calendar | highly-sensitive | chartered-not-granted — `hobbs-oou` |
| [gmail-personal](gmail-personal.md) | **Pike** `pk` | personal × gmail | highly-sensitive | chartered-not-granted — `hobbs-9rq`, `hobbs-oou` |
| [voicemail-mobile](voicemail-mobile.md) | **Tape** `tp` | ophelia + all × voicemail | highly-sensitive | **chartered-blocked** — no sync exists |
| [bank-business](bank-business.md) | **Till** `tl` | 4 companies × business banking | highly-sensitive | chartered-not-granted |
| [bank-personal](bank-personal.md) | **Coin** `cn` | money · home · family × the personal bank | highly-sensitive | chartered-not-granted |
| [brokerage](brokerage.md) | **Book** `bk` | money × the brokerage | highly-sensitive | chartered-not-granted |
| [carta](carta.md) | **Slice** `sl` | angels + fund-lps × Carta | highly-sensitive | chartered-not-granted |
| [workspace-halcyon](workspace-halcyon.md) | **Ward** `wd` | halcyon + bedrock × the Halcyon mailbox | internal | chartered-not-granted |
| [drive-halcyon](drive-halcyon.md) | **Shelf** `sf` | halcyon × Drive | internal | chartered-not-granted |
| [linear-halcyon](linear-halcyon.md) | **Rail** `rl` | halcyon × Linear | internal | chartered-not-granted |
| [slack-halcyon](slack-halcyon.md) | **Hall** `hl` | halcyon × Slack | internal | chartered-not-granted |
| [github-halcyon](github-halcyon.md) | **Forge** `fg` | halcyon × GitHub | internal | chartered-not-granted |
| [notion-bedrock](notion-bedrock.md) | **Strata** `sa` | bedrock × Notion | internal | chartered-not-granted — **and the charter argues against it** |
| [whatsapp-robotics](whatsapp-robotics.md) | **Crowd** `cd` | family × the robotics group | highly-sensitive | **chartered-blocked** — a linked device can send |
| [signal](signal.md) | — | multiple × Signal | — | **REFUSED** — no narrow credential exists |

**`Till` covers four accounts** — Halcyon, Bedrock, Ashcroft, Rivet Yard — as four
separately granted instances against one charter (ADR-30 clause 7). That clause
applies to the banks and to nothing else.

## The hiring order — `hobbs-yqx`

**Re-set by ADR-30 clause 9.** ADR-20's day-one order was Gmail, calendar,
Workspace. Two things happened to it: **Pike's argument was spent when Rowan read
Sam's essay himself on 12 September**, and **the calendar has since cost a wrong
decline and seventeen days of an unexecutable authority row 10.**

| # | Who | Why it sits here |
|---|---|---|
| **0** | **Wren, Term** | **No credential. Nothing to grant.** Wren is the failure mode this system exists for; Term closes three unknowns off a public PDF |
| **1** | **Bell** | Meeting prep cut from ten briefs. The 24 September decline was made blind. **But it does not make row 10 automatic** — moving an event is a write |
| **2** | **Marsh** | ADR-12's amendment fires only when the vault has her home, and the vault learns that by Rowan speaking. `hobbs-78f` has sat at P3 because there is no way to do it |
| **3** | **Pike** | Written 18 September. Still the account where things go to die; no longer the strongest case |
| **4** | **Tape** | `hobbs-bg9` is a five-brief P0 whose every figure is second-hand from a voicemail. **Blocked on a sync, not on Rowan** |
| **5** | **Till · Coin · Book · Slice** | Verification, not discovery. **Bea is the discovery mechanism and she is better at it.** Every figure in this vault is "as reported" |
| **6** | **Ward** | The account he actually reads, so the lowest marginal value — ADR-20 said so on day one and it still holds |
| **7** | **Rail · Hall · Shelf · Forge · Strata** | The engineering and record surface. Rail first; **Forge must beat Rail once in a month or be retired**; Strata's own charter argues against it |

**A grant task is created the day Rowan names a charter, not before.** Fifteen
approval tasks sitting open would be fifteen phantom decisions.

## The two answers he asked for, in one line each

- **Signal: no.** Every read path is a linked device or an extracted key, and
  **both carry send** — authority row 6. ADR-04's guarantee that *a compromised
  curator can at worst misread* is false on Signal and true everywhere else here.
  **And every Signal-shaped failure in this vault is outbound.** Reasoning:
  [`signal.md`](signal.md) §§2–5. **Reopening conditions: §9, and only those.**
- **The quiet role: yes, and it should be first.** [`quiet.md`](quiet.md). **It
  needs no credential**, its two failure modes are both already in the archive, and
  its first-week test is falsifiable against known misses.

## Not built

**No runtime definitions.** The team guide derives a `.claude/agents/<slug>.md`
from each charter, with the tool list in its frontmatter as the enforcement point.
**None exists, for any row.** Generating one is part of a grant, not part of a
charter (ADR-30 clause 8).

**Against the guide's six-step protocol, every row is at steps 1–2 of 6.** Steps
4–6 — scope the auth, read-only smoke test, graduate to rotation — are Rowan's,
one at a time.
