## Decisions made today
21 ADRs, all approved by Rowan before any file was written.

## Notes
- Guides feed at `localhost:8788` returned 404 on the watcher's first run,
  having served the guides earlier in the session. The script exited non-zero
  rather than report "nothing new." Recorded in `cos-guides-seen.json`.
- Two bugs found and fixed in `brief-prep.sh` on its first real run: a
  `last-contact` parse that swallowed a trailing comment, and `_template`
  appearing as a spotlight candidate.
- One `[SELF-FLAGGED]` feedback entry: five task handles written from memory.
