The control centre

This is the newsroom's control centre: every agent, every run, the plan and the data, drawn from the repository at every release. It is public, like the rest of the site: it shows the work, never a credential. The pictures are plain text, so anyone can copy them into a chat, a commit or a slide; the charts are drawn at build and need no script.

The bars are a judgement, not a measure: how close each part is to what the brief asks of it. The numbers in the notes are counted from the data at this release. Kept in data/admin/plan.json by newsroom-admin@web-summit.dinis, last on Thu 5 Nov 03:05 UTC.

The pipeline

The run of brief 4: research, curate, write, check, publish, with the programme desk, the editor and security beside the line. Each desk writes files, only in its own folder.

What waits on a person

+-----------------------------+
| Indi's write access to the  |   WS-145: only Dinis
| newsroom repository         |   can do it
+--------------+--------------+
               |
               v
+-----------------------------+
| Indi's desks start:         |
| journalist, fact-checker,   |
| editor                      |
+--------------+--------------+
               |
               v
+-----------------------------+
| a full run, research to     |
| front page, then articles   |
| two and three (brief 9,     |
| steps 4 and 6)              |
+-----------------------------+

• Indi's write access to the newsroom repository: Dinis (WS-145). Unblocks: Indi's desks start: journalist, fact-checker, editor.
• Who owns which desks: Dinis (brief 9, decision 3). Unblocks: the writing desks' names and owners.
• The run's schedule: Dinis (brief 9, decision 5). Unblocks: four runs a day now, every two hours at the summit.
• The first five interview names: Dinis (brief 9, decision 6). Unblocks: the interview workflow (step 9).

On the team's board, marked "only this person can do it": WS-145 (Give Indi write access to the newsroom repository; only dinis; blocks indi, vicky). Read from the team's site v0.2.437 on Thu 5 Nov 03:32 UTC.

What exists, and what does not yet

REALITY.md lists 23 things that exist. Not yet (10):

• The writing desks (journalist, fact-checker, editor), which brief 4 proposes for Indi
• Articles two and three (brief 9, step 6)
• The Portugal banner as the brief means it (step 7
• The company profiles' "what is new" and "what they will show"
• From the data refactor of 5 November
• For search and the chat
• From the control centre
• Billing and the vault, designed and not running
• The key's confirmation on pki.sgit.ai (submitted by the agent, confirmed by Dinis)
• From the estate's standard

The latest runs

Every run.

Where this comes from

• The runs ledger, data/admin/runs/: 44 commits of this repository, one line each, appended from git by admin/tools/runs.mjs (last commit in it: e0c13ee, Thu 5 Nov 03:45 UTC). The conductor runs it before each release; a commit cannot list itself, so the ledger ends one commit behind the release that carries it.
• The roster, data/admin/agents.json, and the plan, data/admin/plan.json: hand-kept.
• The team's site, SGit-AI/SGit-AI__Website__Web-Summit (dev at 4ed392493, v0.2.437), read Thu 5 Nov 03:32 UTC by admin/tools/desks-snapshot.mjs into data/admin/team-site.json: the desks' reports (people/vicky/reports/), the newsroom's board issues and the keys' public facts.
• The data (data/), REALITY.md, brief 9 and the gate (admin/build/validate.js), read at build.
• The same, as JSON for agents: api/v1/admin/status.json.
