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

How work moves through the newsroom: the run of the desks, a release from commit to live site, a desk's file on its way to pages, and how this section keeps its record. The states and counts are this release's.

## The run {#run}

[Brief 4](../../brief/04-the-desks-and-the-run/index.md): each run goes in this order; a desk with nothing new says so in one line and stops. Every run ends with one line on the team's site.



1. **Research** (researcher@vicky): one capture per source, in the research vault [running]
2. **Curate** (curator@vicky): maps captures, spots stories (desks/curator/) [running]
3. **Write** (Indi, proposed): drafts from the map (desks/journalist/drafts/) [planned]
4. **Check** (Indi, proposed): every claim against its source [planned]
5. **Publish** (newsroom@dinis): signs the article, releases [running]
6. **The desk (the editor)** (Indi, proposed): the front page's order, corrections [planned]
7. **Security** (nobody yet, proposed): reviews every run's diff [planned]

## The schedule {#schedule}

Proposed in brief 4; waits on brief 9, decision 5. Lisbon is on UTC in November.



- **Now to Sunday 8 November** (2026-11-05 to 2026-11-08): 07:30, 11:30, 15:30, 19:30 UTC.
- **The summit, Monday 9 to Thursday 12** (2026-11-09 to 2026-11-12): 07:30, 09:30, 11:30, 13:30, 15:30, 17:30, 19:30, 21:30 UTC, plus a run after each big announcement.

## A release, from commit to live {#release}

CI owns the version: nobody who pushes writes a number ([the rule](https://newsroom.sgit.ai/articles/ci-owns-the-version.html)).



1. **Commit** (an agent): subject "<agent>: <what>", trailers Agent, Issue, For
2. **admin/tools/release.sh** (the agent): rebase on dev, the gate locally, push (retry if someone pushed first)
3. **CI: the gate** (GitHub Actions): deploy-pages.yml builds and runs validate.js; red stops everything
4. **CI: number the release** (tag_release.sh): bump, version.txt, the versions row, REALITY.md, build, gate, commit "site vX.Y.Z", tag
5. **Deploy** (GitHub Pages): exactly the tree just built and checked
6. **Live** (web-summit.newsroom.sgit.ai): now v0.1.12

From the last commit a release carried to CI's release commit:

| Release | When (UTC) | Commits carried | Commit to release | Pushed by |

## A desk's file, on its way to pages {#desk-to-pages}



1. **A desk writes its file** (curator, programme): desks/ (2 desks)
2. **derive.mjs** (whoever merges): node admin/tools/derive.mjs; the gate fails if a derived file is stale
3. **data/** (committed): 210 events, 248 people, 188 organisations, 26 captures, 9 stories
4. **build.mjs** (CI, every release): 24 features
5. **Pages, API, graphs** (never committed): every page and its twin, /api/v1/, llms.txt, sitemap.xml

## How this section keeps its record {#ledger}



1. **git log** (the conductor's clone): full history, run locally
2. **admin/tools/runs.mjs** (the conductor, before a release): appends new commits only
3. **data/admin/runs/** (committed): 44 lines, one per commit
4. **build.mjs** (CI): reads the ledger, the roster, the plan
5. **/admin/ and status.json** (this section): no git at build, so the clone depth never matters

The desks' run lines and the board come the same way, by `node admin/tools/desks-snapshot.mjs --team <a clone of the team's site>` into `data/admin/team-site.json`. Neither tool is wired into anything automatic: the conductor runs both, commits what they wrote, then releases.

## Where this comes from {#sources}

- 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](https://github.com/SGit-AI/SGit-AI__Website__Newsroom__Web-Summit/blob/dev/REALITY.md), [brief 9](../../brief/09-first-version-and-decisions/index.md) and the gate (`admin/build/validate.js`), read at build.
- The same, as JSON for agents: [api/v1/admin/status.json](../../api/v1/admin/status.json).
