# Brief — Tuesday 15 September 2026

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

**Claire's call is not in this brief.** It is filed immediately after it.

## Atlas changes
All of it from yesterday's session, after the brief went out.

- **Dmitri has his title.** Effective *"the 1st"* — **the month is not recorded
  and is not assumed.** `hobbs-f4a` closed.
- **The runout is no longer only a hypothesis.** A fortnight of his own tests; he
  is confident it is not the bearing. **`hobbs-62a` stays open** — what would
  *confirm* it, and in how many days, is unanswered. Cascadia sits under it.
- **`hobbs-9xk` created, P1.** Dmitri wants Priya **formally, this week.**
- One self-flagged error in `Efforts/feedback.md`: an invented interval.

## Decisions needed today
1. **Does the runout hold cover Priya?** Your hold names Marcus and documents.
   **Priya is on the board of five.** Dmitri goes to her this week and does not
   know the answer. One sentence either way, and it is yours — I do not resolve
   the scope of your hold. `hobbs-9xk`
2. **Cormorant — three business days, or four.** Last safe day **Thursday the
   17th** if they count Labor Day, **Friday the 18th** if not. The one-line
   question to Bea — which reading — was raised on 6 September and nothing
   records it being asked. Her wire is prepared. `hobbs-z4f`
3. **The yard invoice: sent or not?** You decided Saturday to pay it Monday.
   Monday was yesterday, nothing records the line to Bea going out, and
   `hobbs-bg9` is still open, P0. Ellis has asked three times.
4. **Nikhil still does not know you are in.** Believed **three days**,
   unconfirmed by anyone. Bea cannot prepare a wire without the amount.
   `hobbs-0dv`
5. **Where north, for the 26th–27th — eleven days.** The guest berth and Sam's
   two nights of cover are both downstream of it and both need lead time.
   `hobbs-2g6`

## Top three
Oakland today.
1. **Dmitri, the hold.** `hobbs-9xk` — @quick
2. **Bea, the Cormorant reading.** `hobbs-z4f` — @quick
3. **Nikhil.** `hobbs-0dv` — @async

## Quiet
- **Adaeze — 168 days.** Call her. `hobbs-002`
- **Ruth — 30 days**, and the Sunday calls of the 6th and the 13th still have no
  record. Either the baseline is wrong or two went unanswered. `hobbs-6oa`
- **June — 12 days.** Spotlit yesterday and unmoved: she has still not been told
  the post above her is being filled. `hobbs-82x`
- **Maya — 10 days.** Friday the 11th — the first relocated evening — has no
  record either way, and nothing of hers has been captured since 5 September
  (rule 8). The next one is **Friday the 18th.**
- **Claire — 7 days as of this morning, and superseded by her call.**
- **Dmitri — 1 day.**

## Waiting for
- **`hobbs-p9u`** — Marcus, the Bedrock introductions. Follow-up the 20th, five
  days. Still the only `waiting` flag in 51 open tasks.
- **`hobbs-q5c`** — Bea, the Tessellate wire. Blocked on item 4 and nothing else.
- **`hobbs-56d`** — the line to Maya on the MRI. Due and undeliverable: no
  channel to her exists.

## Spotlight
**Sam's college list is due by October — sixteen days.** `hobbs-fwa`, open since
5 September, unmoved. The **three campus visit dates she wants** have never been
asked for (`hobbs-ssh`); the school PDF holding the SAT and ACT dates has never
been found (`hobbs-1hl`). The list needs the dates first. **Ask her for the
three.**

## Family and personal
- **The state robotics date is still unknown.** She qualified on the 8th.
  `hobbs-9cy`
- **Splash Saturday the 19th — four days**, and the weekend the Norton ask goes
  back to you, per your 6 September instruction. `hobbs-1dk`
- **Two nights of cover for Sam, 26–27.** Not started; who is not recorded.
- **Anniversary Tuesday the 22nd — seven days.** Not marked on the day, by your
  decision. Ruth's landline call lands 19:00 on the 27th, while you are on a
  boat.

## Not in this brief, deliberately
- **The MRI.** Its single raise was spent on 8 September (ADR-11).
- **`brief-prep.sh` produced none of the counts above.** `hobbs-bkt`, eleven days
  open. Re-derived from `Atlas/people/` frontmatter and the 3 September Cormorant
  call date.
