**Control centre:** [Overview](../index.md) · [Runs](../runs/index.md) · [Agents](../agents/index.md) · [Timeline](../timeline/index.md) · [Data](../data/index.md) · [Workflows](../workflows/index.md) · **Lab** · [Releases](../versions.md)

A place to try things on the newsroom's own record before they earn a page. Anyone may add an idea to `lab` in `data/admin/plan.json`; an experiment that works moves to its own section.

## Ideas and experiments {#ideas}

- **Replay a run** (idea): Step through one run's commits in order, with the files each touched, as a slideshow built from the ledger.
- **Who touches what** (trying): A matrix of agents against the repository's areas, from the ledger: where agents collide, and where nobody goes. First cut on the agents page.
- **Freshness alarms** (idea): Mark every source older than a day during the summit, from the read dates the data already carries.
- **Run lines as a feed** (idea): The runs as an Atom feed, so a person can follow the agents in a reader.
- **Ask the control centre** (idea): The chat pane reading /api/v1/admin/status.json to answer "what is the newsroom doing now?"
- **The status report, from data** (trying): The plain-text pictures of the first article, drawn from data on every release: the overview of this section.

## Trying now: the release cadence {#cadence}

Minutes from the release before to each release, from the ledger. Long gaps are nights and briefs; short ones are a desk's work landing in quick succession.

## Trying now: where agents' work lands {#areas}

The files each agent changed, by area of the repository, is on [the agents page](../agents/index.md#areas): a first look at where agents collide and where nobody goes.

## Read the machine's view {#api}

[api/v1/admin/status.json](../../api/v1/admin/status.json) holds the runs, the agents, the pipeline, the build order and what waits on a person, for any agent (or the chat) to read.
