# Brief — Tuesday 22 September 2026

**No curators.** No email, calendar, tracker, bank or chat was read (ADR-20).
**Four days since the last brief.** The 19th and 21st were build sessions, the
20th was the review; none produced one.

## Atlas changes
**ADR-28** — a disposition vocabulary on every brief line. **ADR-29** — `Tools/`
exists and the review surface is built. `about-me` — your second failure mode, in
your words. **The Cormorant is closed:** wire out 16 September, inside both
readings; it sat open as a false P0 for four days after you paid it, and that is
logged as mine. **The Norton — the second no is recorded and answered.** All
eighteen guides disposed. Closed `hobbs-z4f`, `hobbs-21n`, `hobbs-hab`,
`hobbs-lsc`; opened `hobbs-7q3`, `hobbs-7vi`, `hobbs-z4y`, `hobbs-wtt`,
`hobbs-3ah`.

## Decisions needed today
1. **Nikhil: the deadline you believed in passed four days ago.** `hobbs-0dv`,
   seventeen days open. **He still does not know you are in.** The 18th was
   believed and confirmed by nobody; it has now gone by with nothing sent.
   One Signal message gets the amount, the deadline and the wire instructions,
   and unblocks Bea (`hobbs-q5c`).
2. **The yard invoice: sent, or not?** `hobbs-bg9`, P0, **fifth brief running.**
   Decided Saturday, pay Monday the 14th — eight days ago. **69 days** by count
   from Ellis's 52 on 5 September. She splashed on the 19th, at that yard.
3. **Thursday 24 September back to Marcus's office as available, or not?**
   `hobbs-som`, twelve days open, **two days out.** Draft written; you send.
4. **Dmitri and Tomas were both "this week" and that week ended Sunday.**
   `hobbs-62a` (P0) — what confirms or rules out shaft runout, and in how many
   days. `hobbs-9xk` — does the hold cover Priya. `hobbs-cqf` — Tomas, the
   related-party exposure and Claire's 40%.
5. **Eleven asks from Sunday's review are in the queue and none are answered.**
   `node Tools/review-surface/server.mjs`, then 127.0.0.1:7317. It was built
   Monday for exactly this.
6. **Cascadia: eight days.** `hobbs-gbo` — sign by 30 September or renegotiate
   the witness point. In fact blocked on `hobbs-po6`, the Mk3 bearing status,
   which is item 4.

## Top three
1. **Nikhil, on Signal.** `hobbs-0dv` — @async
2. **Bea, the yard line.** `hobbs-bg9` — @quick
3. **Dmitri — two questions in one call.** `hobbs-62a`, `hobbs-9xk` — @call

## Quiet
- **Adaeze — 175 days.** Call her. `hobbs-002`
- **Ruth — 37 days.** The vault does not know whether Sunday's call happened.
  **The Sunday after next you are in Tomales.** `hobbs-6oa`
- **June — 19 days**, still not told the post above her is being filled. `hobbs-82x`
- **Dmitri — 8 days.**
- **Claire — 7 days.** Twelve days, two asks, no acknowledgement. `hobbs-xkw`
  is two minutes and has been for nine days.
- **Maya — 17 days.**

## Waiting for
- **`hobbs-p9u`** — Marcus, the Bedrock introductions. Follow-up date was Sunday;
  two days past.
- **`hobbs-q5c`** — Bea, the Tessellate wire. Blocked on item 1 alone.
- **`hobbs-56d`** — the line to Maya. Due fourteen days; no channel to send it.

## Spotlight
**The roof.** `hobbs-2hi` — three roofer quotes. **Spotlit 10 September, twelve
days, nothing since.** Your line: *"A roofer — no. That's a thing I haven't
done."* Rains in November by your own reckoning. **Second spotlight, no movement
between them. There will not be a third — if this one does not move it, the
spotlight is the wrong tool for this item and I will say so rather than repeat
myself** (ADR-19).

## Family and personal
- **Today is the twelfth anniversary.** *"She thinks we're doing dinner on the
  22nd over the phone."* **The time is not recorded and I have not assumed one.**
- **The 26th–27th — four days. Three things unbooked, and I book none of them**
  (rows 11, 12): **cover for Sam, `hobbs-8hi`, no name recorded anywhere and the
  longest lead time on the list**; the mooring `hobbs-1ox`; provisioning
  `hobbs-45i`.
- **College list — nine days to October** (`hobbs-fwa`). **State robotics date
  unknown** (`hobbs-9cy`). **3 October race entry deadline unknown** (`hobbs-935`)
  — eleven days out, and you are back from Tomales six days before it.

## Not in this brief, deliberately
- **The MRI and the bloodwork.** Both single raises are spent (ADR-11).
- **The machine clock still reports 5 September** (`hobbs-bkt`, seventeen days).
  Every date above comes from your sentence this morning or from a date written
  in the vault. `brief-prep.sh` produced none of the counts.
