Building the write gate for [Knowfer](/projects/knowfer), so the fleet's evaluators stop producing evidenced verdicts and then dropping them. Shipping stubs that close themselves. Launching this site as a publishing server and moving everything canonical onto it.

## Working on

- The Knowfer canon gate: three hooks may write, everything else reads, a quarantine for probe noise, and an autopilot class that stays dark until it earns trust.
- [zap](/projects/zap): routing Reclaim Space deletions through the journal so `undo` covers everything.
- This site: Phase 2 — search relationships, social-feed ingestion, the publishing desk.

## Exploring

- Local models on Apple silicon as a privacy tier, not a daily driver.
- What a sleep lab would look like if its software had been designed this decade.
- Podcasting from this infrastructure rather than through a host.

## Reading and re-reading

- Sutton, *The Bitter Lesson*.
- Old RFCs. They are shorter than modern documentation and say more.
