Session brief+0m 00s
Build session 02 began after the repository was restored on a new machine (v1 was live): orient from the build log, the project docs and the git history, then carry out the brief autonomously, committing along the way, without publishing.

Project note+9m 18s
A scoring rule was added: a score is shown only when it comes from the test runner or the reviewer and a published pre-registered rubric covers the prompt, labelled provisional, with its breakdown and a link to the rubric. Draft scores written by the site's build agent were removed, and the rubric was published with the methodology.
- 1 step omitted
Project note+9m 54s
The session's scope was narrowed to data and content work, as the visual design was to be redone separately: the three tasks, ingest robustness and a basic site check, with page content kept in data and markdown sources so a redesign could reuse it.
Bash+12m 51s

Assistant+15m 08s
Now the transcript readers: a truncation-tolerant OpenCode export reader, a dsh session-log reader, and a generic fallback that never dumps raw machine logs.
- 1 step omitted
Bash+15m 52s
Inspect dsh user/message events
- 1 step omitted
Assistant+17m 08s
Readers work on all the new drops. Next I'm writing the content sources (the methodology, field notes and findings sources) that the pages will render from.
Bash+17m 15s
Write the methodology markdown source
- 1 step omitted
Bash+18m 20s
Write the findings content source and validate JSON
Assistant+19m 36s
Now a small content module to render these sources, plus relative-link support in the markdown renderer.
- 1 step omitted
Bash+19m 52s
Thread the relative-link flag through render()
Assistant+20m 03s
Now the content module.
- 1 step omitted
Assistant+21m 01s
Next, the build script: artifact side-map, rubric discovery, text scrubbing, score-free ordering and costs, the content data, and the devlog changes.
Bash+21m 32s
Add artifact side-map, video poster frames and tolerant media handling to the build script
- 1 step omitted
Bash+22m 08s
Remove score-based cost rankings and normalize ledger tokens
- 1 step omitted
Bash+22m 30s
View the tail of main() in the build script
- 1 step omitted
Bash+23m 02s
Support term => replacement lines in the redact-terms file
- 1 step omitted
Bash+23m 39s
Rework home page to render featured, findings and methodology from content
- 1 step omitted
Bash+24m 05s
Check the built page markup lines
Assistant+24m 10s
The built-page replacement didn't match (whitespace), so nothing was written; fixing the match and re-applying.
- 1 step omitted
Bash+24m 29s
Add the methodology page and built-page changes to the page renderer
Assistant+25m 12s
Next the config: rewriting the review settings with the reviewer's reads and without draft scores. First checking what the DeepSeek raw-baseline drops now contain.
- 1 step omitted
Write+26m 05s
the review settings
- 1 step omitted
Assistant+26m 16s
Now the seed script: stripping the draft scores, rewording overstated draft verdicts, then re-running it on its own seed folders.
Bash+26m 31s
Strip draft scores and soften draft verdicts in the seed script
- 1 step omitted
Assistant+26m 56s
The dry run changes only the scores, the review_by wording and the edited verdicts. Applying it in place:
Bash+26m 57s
Re-run the seed script in place on its own folders
Assistant+27m 11s
Seed drops are clean: no numeric score is left in any runner metadata file. Now the minimal page-script changes so the pages show the new data fields.
- 1 step omitted
Assistant+27m 55s
Now the site check: 1280×800 desktop, new pages in the list, no score-based picking.
- 1 step omitted
Bash+28m 35s
Inspect the new OpenCode Astra controller drop
- 1 step omitted
Assistant+29m 20s
The records look right. One fix: for OpenCode drops, prefer the runner's `wall_time_s_exact` (1,105.9 s, same as its cost record) over `wall_s`, which includes completion-detection slack.
Bash+29m 25s
Rebuild, inspect the content data and grep the site for names
Assistant+29m 49s
No personal names anywhere in `site/`. Two small fixes: the rubric note should say a name was replaced (it compared against the already-redacted text), and the rubric anchor id is `rubric-rubric`.
- 1 step omitted
Assistant+30m 02s
Memory has 1.27 GB available, above the 900 MB threshold. Running the headless-Chromium verification at 1280×800 and 390×844.
Bash+30m 03s
Run site verification at desktop and phone sizes
Project note+32m 44s
Work in progress was committed mid-session, and the session finished once the site check passed.
- 1 step omitted
Assistant+33m 44s
The only Chromium running belongs to another job (the Claude Code fjord rerun sandbox), not the verifier. No names or secrets found. Adding `.ingest_work/` to `.gitignore` and committing.
Bash+33m 49s
Commit all session 02 work so far
- 1 step omitted
Assistant+34m 10s
No runner has scored anything yet, so the site shows 0 scored. I'll test the gate and the half-finished-folder handling on synthetic copies in /tmp, not the real drop folder.
Bash+34m 19s
Test score gate and half-finished folders in a temp copy
- 1 step omitted
Assistant+35m 18s
Docs are updated, including the runners' copy of the results format notes. Next are the dev-log metadata for the "How this site was built" page and the build log entry.
Bash+35m 20s
Get this session's start time and Claude Code version
- 1 step omitted
Bash+35m 50s
Run the live iframe check for the Three.js pages
Assistant+37m 33s
Live check passed: all three live pages, including the fjord Codex copy, run with zero errors. A quick look at the fjord Codex screenshot to confirm the scene actually rendered:
- 1 step omitted
Assistant+37m 39s
The scene renders live in the iframe, and the header shows "Not scored · how scoring works". Writing the DEVLOG now.
Write+37m 59s
the build log
Assistant+38m 04s
Final step: marking session 02's end time, re-running ingest so the built page lists both sessions, then the name/secret check and the commit.
Bash+38m 07s
Final ingest with session metadata, then name and secret checks
Assistant+38m 35s
32 results ingested (more pelican runs finished), both sessions appear on the built page, and there are no names or secrets anywhere in the repo. Committing.
Bash+38m 38s
Commit docs, DEVLOG and the final rebuild
Latest assistant message+38m 56s
Session 02 is finished and committed (`35ff9db` and `f942c4e`; the team's `29e2f7d` sits between them). The working tree is clean and nothing was published. Verification passed at 1280×800 and 390×844: 44 page loads, zero console errors, zero failed requests. The fjord Codex page also runs live in its iframe with zero errors. **What changed** - **Scores:** every score on v1 was a draft I wrote in session01, and all of them are gone, including from my seed folders. A score now appears only if the test runner or the reviewer wrote it and a published rubric such as `the rubric` covers the prompt. Runner scores show as "Provisional score" with the breakdown and a rubric link. A final … [3,367 more characters]
