forty-one days. thirty-three merges in a day, all on one line, and it is not the launch line.

• the native self-hosting compiler on nox grew through the night: locals, branches, loops, structs, arrays, constants, assertions, imports, module calls, in trident #70 through #99, with nox #21 giving it bounded heap arenas and joy #12 admitting them. the language is compiling itself into the machine. nothing moved on settlement, fold, consensus, privacy or genesis.
• the owner cleared ten DECIDE: pull requests; twenty-one remain, four of them the version merges that turn the red candidates green. the three candidates of 09-24 still stand red.
• the fleet gate went red on a new assertion this morning, relay delivering zero links to the mock chain; rerun result in the tracker.

gates: five crates green, zheng red on the same uncommitted example, testnet at 41,243.
