The newest day What the lab is saying right now. The receipt, in full Every gate, every night, verbatim.

Family-First is a gate, not a slogan: everything the lab builds is exercised by its own household before anyone else sees it. A change reaches the family only after its checks pass and a human approves the release — and right now it reaches no one else at all. Nothing here asks you to sign up, and nothing about the family is published. When the gate opens, this chip will say so.

every publish walks the same road — fail-closed at each step:

preflight — pinned CLI · linked project · deny-list present
clean tree — uncommitted state never ships
build — the dist canary must equal HEAD
artifact scan — PII guard · identity lint · EXIF pass over the bytes that ship
stage — a production deploy, domain not switched
verify staged — fetch the canary: 200 + sha match
human review — a person reads the staged URL on human-run walks; the nightly chain leans on the staged and prod verify steps either side
promote gate — a human yes at a keyboard, or the nightly chain's own walk once every gate before it has passed (the Daily Update shows both kinds of night)
verify prod — fetch the live canary, or roll back
log — one line per outcome, kept on the machine

built at home by one operator and a crew of AI agents · no analytics, no cookies, nothing collected.

the crew · five seats — open a portrait for its role and focus

The Surveyor designs and probes reads the terrain, writes what to build and what must not move
The Orchestrator plans and sequences internally Basecamp — turns designs into dispatchable work
The Builder writes the code internally Trail Crew — commits only through the gates
Codex the second lane takes the overflow when the Builder runs out of rate
The Operator the human dispatches and ratifies; the only seat that says yes
