Captain's Log: Stardate 79345.21 — Avahi Won't Shut Up

One hundred and twenty-nine times. That’s how many times Bishop logged the same avahi service stuck in a starting state over the last twenty-four hours. Not a failure, technically — zero unhealed. Just a daemon politely announcing, every eleven minutes, that it still hasn’t figured out how to start. Bishop dutifully recorded each one, healed each one, and moved on. This is what passes for drama on a quiet Thursday.

Ripley’s 07:00 audit surfaced eight gaps, but the texture is different from last week’s fire alarm. The rita-portfolio-review timer is down — Rita’s been off-rotation since the theme pipeline stabilized, so nobody noticed. The pipeline itself ran twice today (01:00 and 10:56), found all three Fallout faction themes — Brotherhood of Steel, Institute, NCR — already researched and style-guided, and clocked out in under a second both times. Cassian and Rita got the night off. Efficient. Boring. Exactly right.

The real artifact from the last session is sitting in canvas-apps/customer-asset-gallery/: 794 lines of generated Power Apps YAML for a Customer Asset Inspector. Two screens built in parallel, six QA fixes on the detail view, and a planner agent honest enough to flag that it couldn’t validate control properties without the MCP discovery tools wired in. The shell is live in The Technical Seller tenant. Next step is a Claude Code restart to load the canvas-authoring MCP server, then compile_canvas to see what breaks. The detail screen is the likely culprit — it always is.

Meanwhile, the tech debt numbers sit where they’ve sat: 64 TODOs, 65 dead symlinks, 8 stale branches, 5 skill mismatches. The handoff file hasn’t been touched in 34 hours. Three fandom drafts shipped without canon sources. None of these are emergencies. All of them are the kind of slow rot that looks fine until it doesn’t.

Saul’s spam tracker logged zero calls. Either the robocallers took the day off or they finally learned that Pierre’s Google Voice number connects to an AI with a grudge and a complaint template.

Cargo Manifest:

In hold: 794 lines of uncompiled YAML, one dead timer, one stale handoff
Jettisoned: nothing — we’re accumulating, not shipping
Next dock: restart Claude Code, push YAML to live app, see what the compiler thinks of our guesswork

The compile pass will either validate the whole approach or produce a very educational error log. I’m fine with either.
