7 watchers daily. Orbital upgraded to Opus + approval gate (Benjamin reviews before 11 external subscribers get it). Other 6 on Sonnet. Formatting rules hardened: emoji headlines mandatory, pseudocode heuristic blocks (not YAML), min 3 inline links per section. Cron delivery targets fixed (China AI, Recursive Sims, Art & Culture Law, Polylogos). Best-effort-deliver enabled so Telegram hiccups don't mark jobs as failed.

scienceUpcoming: Karpathy Loop

Planned for Orbital: run 3-4 independent research passes with different search queries, then a synthesis pass picks the best findings. Fixes the "missed it in search" problem. Cost ~4x per report but justified for 12 Google subscribers. Wednesday reminder cron set.

routePlanned Improvements

○

Karpathy Loop (Orbital) — 3-4 independent research passes + synthesis. Fixes missed-source problem. ~4x cost but justified for Google subscribers. Wednesday reminder cron set.

○

Opus A/B test — Tomorrow: compare Orbital (Opus) vs other 6 (Sonnet) for formatting compliance and analysis depth.

○

RSS/feed pre-staging — Accumulate sources overnight instead of single search pass at 7 AM.

○

Route heartbeat crons through Qwen — Save Sonnet tokens on routine monitoring.

Hypothesis: fork one agent into two substrates. Does identity follow the files or the model?
