MINI-ROOK / BUILD LOG 016

From Signal to Editorial Brief

Turn an approved document change into a deliberate research brief

SCAN-TO-BRIEF · LIMITED HUMAN UI PASS. Adapted from the project development record BUILD_LOG_016.md. Results describe the recorded checkpoint; publishing this article adds no new runtime test.

TECHNICAL CHECKPOINT

What this build actually records.

Stack and method
Document allowlist · source excerpt · English research brief · Growth Draft Queue
Recorded progress
Syntax, temporary-project change/brief test and human suggestion-to-saved-brief UI pass.
Still open at this checkpoint
NOT FOR PUBLICATION: verify diff, release status and links; no finished marketing copy or automatic posting.

Software development on an existing workstation. This entry does not establish a new robot, custom hardware build or autonomous publishing capability.

TEST STATUS / SEPARATE FROM THE ORIGINAL RECORD

What later checks established.

Python and JavaScript syntax passed. A temporary-project test exercised a changed file and editorial briefing. The creator then observed Create editorial brief succeeding from a Radar suggestion and the briefing appearing in Growth Draft Queue. This is a limited scan-to-brief result.

Still open: The brief is marked NOT FOR PUBLICATION and requires source diff, release status and link review. No finished marketing-copy accuracy, automatic posting, scheduling or uncontrolled access is established. Radar data and tools remain private.

01 / BUILD LOG 016

The original development record

After the first successful human baseline/repeat-scan test of Opportunity Radar, we added a deliberate action to turn a detected project-document change into an editorial briefing in Growth Draft Queue.

The Radar only reads files on its existing explicit allowlist. A detected change can produce an English research brief identifying the changed source, a limited text excerpt and a suggested angle. The output is prominently marked NOT FOR PUBLICATION and instructs the operator to check the diff, release status, and links before making any claims. No automatic posting, scheduling, or uncontrolled file access has been enabled. No model-generated finished marketing post is created automatically in this iteration.

Tests: Python syntax PASS; JavaScript syntax PASS. A temporary-project test confirmed that one changed file creates one opportunity and the briefing action prepares an editorial source-backed starting point. The subsequent human browser test confirmed Create editorial brief from a Radar suggestion succeeded and the resulting briefing appeared in Growth Draft Queue. This supports a limited end-to-end PASS, not verified public marketing copy.

Status: READY TO PUBLISH — human UI acceptance PASS for Radar suggestion to saved editorial brief. Chapter VI — The Watchtower.
