# Brief — Thursday 10 September 2026

**No curators.** No email, calendar, tracker, bank or chat was read (ADR-20).
Everything below is from the vault.

## Atlas changes
**Your correction is logged verbatim and ADR-12 is amended.** The rule now names
the standing evening with Maya; Thursday is where it is kept, not what is
protected. Row 9 does not fire on a date the vault records her away, her travel
is read before any decline, and no record either way means she is home — the
default stays absolute. Five files that restated the old wording updated:
`about-me`, `cadence`, `maya/VENTURE`, `Maya`, `Marcus Feld`.

**Two things I got wrong on the 24th, not one.** The rule was keyed to a weekday
instead of the thing it protects. Separately, **the decline left no trace in this
vault** — no commit, no task, no log line. The amendment puts the four rails on
row 9. Both are in `Efforts/feedback.md` in your words.

**`CLAUDE.md` row 9 is now wrong as written and I have not touched it** — the
constitution is outside my edit authority. Replacement drafted: `hobbs-4s8`.

## Decisions needed today
1. **The 24th. Does it go back to Marcus's office as available?** The decline is
   already out. Draft is written; you send. `hobbs-som`
2. **Tonight is the first of the three Thursdays and she is at Coyote Creek.** You
   asked me to put the question back to you **on Friday when she's home** — I have
   it dated **tomorrow, Fri 11 September**, being the next Friday she is back.
   **Confirm that is the Friday you meant**; Fri 25 Sep falls after all three.
   `hobbs-c76`
3. **Cormorant. Seven business days remaining if Labor Day is not counted, six if
   it is.** Bea's wire is prepared and needs you. Which reading Cormorant uses is
   still unconfirmed and I have no record of anyone having asked her. `hobbs-z4f`
4. **Dmitri. What would confirm or rule out shaft runout, and how many days.**
   You are at Alameda. It blocks the Cascadia witness point, and Cascadia is
   **20 days** out. `hobbs-62a`

## Top three
1. **Approve Bea's wire.** `hobbs-z4f`
2. **Ask Dmitri the runout question.** `hobbs-62a`
3. **Call Ellis.** Fourth day since you decided. Splash in **9 days**.
   `hobbs-8wl`

## Quiet
- **Adaeze Nwosu — 163 days.** Call her. `hobbs-002`
- **Ruth — 25 days.** Call her. `hobbs-6oa`
- **June Park — 7 days**, status meeting only. Ask what she is carrying alone on
  Kettle River. `hobbs-82x`
- **Maya — 5 days.** `hobbs-c76`
- **Dmitri — 3 days**, about the rig each time. The title, June to now.
  `hobbs-f4a`
- **Claire — 2 days.** ADR-22 is written and unsigned. She asked for an answer by
  **20 days** from now. `hobbs-s7r`

Ruth's and Adaeze's counts are approximate — your own estimates on 6 September.

## Spotlight
**The roof.** *"A roofer — no. That's a thing I haven't done."* Said on
5 September and unchanged since. The rains are November; there is no roofer, no
quote, and no name to call. **Three quotes, or say it waits until spring.**
`hobbs-2hi`

## Family and personal
- **Sam's essay, asked for in July, still unread.** Fifth brief. It is in your
  personal Gmail and I cannot reach it. `hobbs-2e6`
- **The state competition date is still unknown.** Ask her. `hobbs-9cy`
- **Anniversary: 12 days.** It enters this brief as a decision on Monday
  14 September as you asked. A count only, today.

## Not in this brief, deliberately
- **The MRI.** Its single raise was spent 8 September (ADR-11). `hobbs-56d` — the
  line to Maya — is due and undeliverable: I have no channel to her.
- **The day counts above were not taken from `brief-prep.sh`.** The machine clock
  still reports 5 September (`hobbs-bkt`), so the script's numbers came back
  negative. Every count here was re-derived from the people notes.
