README: open with Interactor's purpose (from 37a20c989f on mechanical-turk-crystal-build)

Only README.md comes over. Three links point to files that exist so far only on that branch, so they link there by branch name.

Zepto is on J7 (/dev/i2c-3): move defaults there, run both Qwiic buses at 100 kHz, drop the J6 banner

The logger's cable is in J7, not J6; its fixed 'I2C monitor J6' banner hid that. zepto-bridge, its unit, sao-demo and both flash scripts now default to /dev/i2c-3. The overlay matches the badge: both buses 100 kHz.

badge-demo: zepto-bridge, I2C and BSL flashing over a Unix socket for sandboxed OCX runs on the badge

OCX runs on the badge node can see /dev/i2c-1 but can't open it: the sandbox bind is nodev (interactor runs 27f15fdba0, 360ee9d28c). This root helper does the hardware work for them over a socket until OCX can pass devices into a run (requested in interactor post dbd9c6b21f).

- badge-demo/bridge/src: BSL packets (ported from badge-demo/scripts/flash_zepto_bsl_direct_i2c.py), i2c-dev transfers, pads and control lines, and the server and client - badge-demo/bridge/spec/zepto_bridge_spec.cr: 12 examples pass on x86-1 - badge-demo/scripts/build_zepto_bridge.cr: static aarch64 cross-build, inputs checked by SHA-256 - badge-demo/systemd/zepto-bridge.service, badge-demo/docs/ZeptoBridge.md

badge-demo: snake Zepto firmware (move logic, 0x43 status, BOOT button, WS2812)

New app firmware/zepto/examples/baremetal/badgesnake/, the env zepto_badgesnake already named in platformio.ini: - snake_move.c: reads the Battlesnake move request JSON into a grid and picks a move: stay on the board and out of bodies (own tail free unless stacked), avoid squares next to an equal or longer head, prefer room for the whole body (flood fill), avoid hazards, nearest food, most room. No division, no heap. - snake_button.c: debounced BOOT button; short press toggles the LED and counts in byte 1, a press held 1.5 s counts in byte 2; byte 0 is down/LED flags. - snake_frame.c: docs/Protocol.md frames for info/start/move/end. - ws2812.c: cycle-counted bit-bang on PA15, run from RAM with interrupts off (~30 us). - main.c: polls the target at 0x42, serves the status at 0x43, SysTick ms clock.

src/zepto_i2c_target.c: optional second own address (TOAR2, told apart by TSR.OAR2SEL/ADDRMATCH per SLAU847F 22.3.45/22.3.47); with it on, the TX FIFO is only filled once a read starts. Other apps are unchanged. Buffer sizes can be set with -D; the snake uses a 4 KB request (two snakes of length 20 make about 1960 bytes).

Checked on x86-1: crystal run scripts/test_zepto_badgesnake_host.cr passes (fixture move gets "up", matching move-response.json); sniffer host tests pass. build_zepto.cr with Alpine GCC 15.1: badgesnake 6060 bytes, UNICOMM variant 5868; blink 364, i2c_sniffer 3364, i2c_target_diag 1480 still build. In the image SysTick points at SysTick_Handler, ws2812_send_ram is in RAM with the planned NOP counts, RAM use 7976/16384. Nothing run on hardware.

badge-demo: build Zepto firmware with a Crystal script, without PlatformIO

firmware/zepto/scripts/build_zepto.cr calls arm-none-eabi-gcc and objcopy directly with the flags from platformio.ini and platforms/zepto-mspm0/builder/main.py. PlatformIO needs Python, which the maintainer does not want used, and its glibc toolchain will not run on the musl client x86-1. ZEPTO_PROOT="PROOT ROOT" runs the toolchain inside a root such as a scratch Alpine with gcc-arm-none-eabi.

Checked on x86-1 with Alpine 3.22's GCC 15.1 (the handoff used 14.2.1): blink 364 bytes (as before), i2c_sniffer 3364 (handoff: 3380), i2c_sniffer_led 996 (handoff: 1008). Vector 17 points at GROUP1_IRQHandler; no __aeabi_* helpers. Host tests pass. Build check only: nothing run on hardware.

badge-demo: logger collapses repeated identical transactions

A run of identical transactions shares the bottom line with a repeat count (e.g. 43R 3 05 02 00 x37), redrawn in place instead of scrolling. Only transactions whose every data byte was captured (len <= 4) can merge, so move requests with a shared header never collapse. The status register is documented as a plain 3-byte read so badge polls collapse.

Host tests cover i2c_sniff_same, i2c_sniff_format_repeat and text_scroll_last_row; zepto_i2c_sniffer (3380 B) and zepto_i2c_sniffer_led build with PlatformIO. Not run on hardware.

badge-demo: IPS Display 2 back end for the logger Zepto; capture in GPIO IRQ

Logger display: ST7789V2 back end (sniff_display_ips2.c) with MikroE default panel settings, 2x 5x7 font (Adafruit GFX, BSD) on a 20x15 grid, hardware vertical scroll, colour per transaction class, dropped-summary notice. Division-free renderer and scroll math, host-tested.

Capture moves into the GPIO interrupt: SDA falling edge on PA0 enters GROUP1_IRQHandler, which decodes until the bus is idle; the main loop only draws and needs no timing budget. Adds a weak GROUP1_IRQHandler vector slot, a stuck-transaction abort, and src/zepto_libc.c (memcpy/memset) for the -nostdlib link.

Verified: host tests pass; pio run builds zepto_i2c_sniffer (3064 B), zepto_i2c_sniffer_led, zepto_blink (364 B, same as the earlier on-device build) and zepto_i2c_target_diag_stage6 with toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi 1.140201.0 (GCC 14.2.1). Not run on hardware.

Pin map now sourced from https://ollama.openbeagle.org/zepto (trunk 3f0eebced5; its kicad_pcb is byte-identical to the GitHub mirror, nets unchanged). Records the J4/J5 mikroBUS alignment, the on-board 5.1k I2C pull-ups, that the WS2812 is an optional population, and two FAQ.md entries that disagree with the PCB (D2 LED pin, INT header pin).

badge-demo: switch logger display to IPS Display 2 click; BOOT button confirmed

The maintainer found an IPS Display 2 click (ST7789V2, 1.54in 240x240) in place of the OLED C. Records its mikroBUS mapping (BCK on AN/PA24, RS on INT/PA23), the 2x font for a 20x15 grid that fits the full 20-column line format, and ST7789 vertical scroll. OLED C kept as the documented fallback. Records the BOOT button (SW1, PA18) as the confirmed snake trigger.

badge-demo: passive I2C monitor for the Mechanical Turk logger Zepto

Plans the early-November Northville demo in docs/MechanicalTurkDemo.md: snake Zepto with button/LED/status register, logger Zepto as a hardware bus monitor on an OLED C click, BLE to BeagleY-AI later.

The MSPM0 I2C peripheral cannot monitor passively, so the logger bit-bangs PA0/PA1 as inputs. Adds the hardware-free inline decoder (i2c_sniff.h), the 16-column line formatter with flag colour classes, the DIN31_0 poll loop and an LED placeholder display back end (PlatformIO env zepto_i2c_sniffer).

Host tests (scripts/test_zepto_sniffer_host.sh) drive the decoder with synthetic SDA/SCL traces and pass; sources compile for thumbv6m with clang. Not built with PlatformIO and not run on hardware: no ARM toolchain or board in this container.

Adds second-question/docs/VIDEO_QUALITY_RECOMMENDATIONS.md: a written comparison of the kit's Sora/Gemini pipeline against three alternative production paths, recommending Path A (NotebookLM-style narrated slides driven by the existing canonical script). No render, no provider calls, per ticket ab4b570b9d's scope.

Adds root ci.cr (plain Crystal, stdlib only) so the daemon's automatic gate has a CI flow to run for interactor. Regenerates second-question/ CHECKSUMS.sha256 (5 stale entries) and moves the doubly-nested request_plans/omni/omni/omni_requests.jsonl back to its documented single-nested path.

Add root ci.cr for the second-question kit CI gate

Declares the CI flow the daemon gate expects on interactor: plain Crystal, no shard deps, run as `crystal run ci.cr` from the clone root with no arguments.

Steps: 1. Verify second-question/CHECKSUMS.sha256 against the files it lists (shells out to sha256sum -c; falls back to Digest::SHA256 in Crystal if sha256sum is absent). 2. python3 -m py_compile every .py file under second-question. 3. Fail if any file listed in second-question/MANIFEST.md is missing.

CHECKSUMS.sha256 was stale on trunk (6 of 20 entries mismatched, covering ddex_crosswalk_flat.csv, release_metadata_flat.csv, rights_logo_notes.csv, scenes_flat.csv and sources_flat.csv) and one manifest entry, request_plans/omni/omni_requests.jsonl, resolved to a path that did not exist because the file had been placed one directory too deep at request_plans/omni/omni/omni_requests.jsonl. Moved that file to the path documented in request_plans/README_request_plans.md (matching the sora/compare sibling layout) and regenerated CHECKSUMS.sha256 from the corrected tree so sha256sum -c and the new ci.cr both go green.

Verified with crystal run ci.cr, exit 0.

second-question: add video quality recommendations doc

Recommend Path A: NotebookLM-style narrated slides (archival stills + ffmpeg Ken-Burns pans + the maintainer's own voice) driven by the existing canonical script, replacing Sora/Gemini clip generation, which produced a sped-up stock-voice demo reel with looping 8s motion clips and a Gemini-quota outage instead of the requested documentary.

second-question: document scene 3/5 provider compare results

Ran the real Sora-vs-Gemini-Omni compare for scenes 3/5 against the critical-review-fixed script. Two prior attempts as a single long-running background compare-context-generators call were each cut off by a session interruption with no surviving partial output; switched to four separate, bounded foreground generate-clips --only-scene calls instead.

Sora: both scenes generated successfully (1280x720/8s h264+aac), genuinely still/document-style per the rewritten prompts. Copied to second-question/exports/compare-2026-09-14/sora/ (untracked).

Gemini Omni: blocked on both scenes by HTTP 429, limit: 0 for generate_content_free_tier_requests on model gemini-omni-flash. Retried once with the same result on every quota dimension, which reads as a plan/model-access gap on the API key itself, not a script or prompt problem.

second-question: critical-review fixes to canonical script (revision 2)

Coordinator review of bcdb105b61 found the skeleton right but several brief claims asserted rather than shown. Ten fixes to SCENES/VOICEOVER_SCRIPT in second_question_production.py, mirrored into docs/CANONICAL_SCRIPT.md (verified byte-for-byte identical with a comparison script):

1. Scene 4: show coupling and drift in the audience's own experience before naming the business model; land the maintainer's own phrase, 'There is no reciprocal power.' 2. Scene 5: name three tacit agreements before asking the three questions. 3. Scene 7: add the 'what problems we want technology to solve' half of the moral-weight brief; state once that the thesis is unproven but built on established background. 4. Scene 2: precision - the TMI light showed the valve had been commanded closed, not that it was closed; Perrow's frame is complexity plus tight coupling. 5. Scene 3: precision - it was Thiokol's own management, pressed by NASA, that overruled the engineers. 6. Moved citations onto on-screen labels (Vaughan's book/year, Rogers Commission chapter, Cornell LII on contracts of adhesion). 7. Scene 6: softened two lines to match the sourcing ('can time' / 'can change'). 8. Scene 9: confirmed the locked render has no hardcoded need-list text (grepped render_locked_alternatives_network), so shortened each need from 4-6 alternatives to 2-3 and gave the closing lines more room. 9. Added one first-person anchor in Scene 4. 10. Closing line: left unchanged per instruction.

Regenerated metadata/source_manifest.json and all four request_plans/*.jsonl (labels are embedded in AI-provider prompts). Re-rendered the mock cut; duration unchanged at 274.0s (under five minutes) since only text changed. Verified new content by extracting and reviewing frames. Overwrote second-question/exports/mock-cut-2026-09-14.mp4 in place (untracked).

second-question: rewrite canonical script for tight coupling + drift thesis

Maintainer brief: failure research names two primary causes of disaster, tight coupling and drift, neither of which was landing; digital platforms opt into both on purpose as a business model; a lack of clarity on the tacit agreements about what technology is for and for whom; the moral weight of the audience's own choices. Style: first person, plain, Ken Burns pacing (still photographs/documents/diagrams under slow pans, not motion graphics), marked pauses, named cases with dates and people instead of a list of disasters.

Rewrote docs/CANONICAL_SCRIPT.md and all 9 SCENES (voiceover, prompt, labels, negative_prompt, continuity_note), VOICEOVER_SCRIPT, CLOSING_LINE_CANDIDATES, and MASTER_SORA_STYLE in second_question_production.py around two named cases: Three Mile Island (tight coupling) and Challenger (drift, Diane Vaughan's 'normalization of deviance'), replacing the previous list of eight disasters. Dropped 8 now-unused SOURCES entries; added three_mile_island, challenger_drift, tos_reciprocal_power. Rewrote the locked Scene 1 cold-open's PIL-drawn mechanism-hint stills to match the two mechanisms actually explored, verified by rendering in isolation. Regenerated metadata/source_manifest.json and all four request_plans/*.jsonl snapshots from the rewritten script.

Ran the full pipeline end to end (all --mock --no-tts): a real 274.0s mock cut, verified by inspecting frames across the timeline; found and fixed one cosmetic em-dash/font-glyph bug this surfaced, then re-rendered clean. Deliberately did not regenerate metadata/*.csv/.xlsx/DDEX XML: command_metadata's CSV writer has a known thinner-schema regression (flagged in PROGRESS.md, not fixed this pass), so those deliverables remain stale relative to the rewritten script.

Merge session/feffc81098...-2 (canonical script draft, tuned scene prompts, kit fixes)

Brought in docs/CANONICAL_SCRIPT.md, per-scene negative_prompt/continuity_note fields wired into context_visual_prompt(), the compare-context-generators --dry-run clobbering fix, and regenerated request_plans/metadata/source_manifest.json.

Kept PROGRESS.md (only existed on this branch). Resolved the omni request-plan conflict by taking the tuned/merged-in content (both branches had independently fixed the doubly-nested omni/omni path). Did not take the other branch's CHECKSUMS.sha256/MANIFEST.md state since it did not touch those files here; this checkout's regenerated versions from the prior commit stand, pending a fresh resync once the script/scenes are rewritten per the maintainer's new brief.

Second Question video: canonical script, tuned scene prompts, kit setup

Add second-question/docs/CANONICAL_SCRIPT.md reconciling docs/Why_Interactor.md (original NotebookLM draft) with the production narration in second_question_production.py. Two ideas missing from production were merged in (physical-accident vs. digital-lock-in-as-business-model in Scene 7; the "good tool" framing opening Scene 8). Documents what didn't carry over and why. docs/Why_Interactor.md now points to it and is kept for history.

Closing line is left as an explicit placeholder: CLOSING_LINE_CANDIDATES (3 options) plus CLOSING_LINE = None in second_question_production.py. generate_tts() warns rather than guessing if it's unset; nothing else in the pipeline depends on it.

Add per-scene negative_prompt and continuity_note fields to Scene and wire them into context_visual_prompt(), so every AI provider request now carries scene-specific exclusions (no real logos/brands/faces, no disaster spectacle, no crash/collapse reenactments) and explicit continuity guidance tying each scene to its neighbors (shared diagram language, the recurring red dependency-path motif, the Scene 7 to 8 near-black bridge).

Fix compare-context-generators --dry-run: it was writing to the same path as the full generate-clips dry run (silently clobbering it) instead of the documented compare/ subdirectory. Added write_context_requests(subdir=...).

Regenerated request_plans/ in place from the fixed/tuned code; this also fixes a stray nested request_plans/omni/omni/ path from an earlier run.

Regenerated metadata/source_manifest.json (not produced by any command) to match current SCENES/SOURCES, including the two changed voiceover lines.

Did NOT regenerate metadata/*.csv, *.xlsx, or the DDEX XML: the current command_metadata code emits a materially different, thinner schema (missing Locked local/Reference asset/Context prompt columns; DDEX XML drops from about 316 lines of scene detail to about 60) than what's checked in. Reverted those after discovering it rather than overwrite good deliverables with a regression -- flagged for the maintainer, not fixed here.

Set up second-question/.venv (not tracked) and installed requirements_second_question.txt; confirmed ffmpeg/ffprobe on PATH.

Verified end-to-end: metadata, all three --dry-run request-plan commands, download-assets (network reachable; all real assets fetched, only two non-required source audit pages 403'd), and a full local mock cut (all --mock --no-tts) producing a real 1920x1080/182s MP4.

second-question: fix omni request-plan path drift, resync manifest/checksums

request_plans/omni/omni_requests.jsonl had drifted to a doubly-nested request_plans/omni/omni/omni_requests.jsonl, inconsistent with request_plans/README_request_plans.md and the single-nested sora layout. Moved it back to the documented path.

CHECKSUMS.sha256/MANIFEST.md were stale against metadata/*.csv (5 of 6 CSV checksums failed sha256sum -c). Verified CSV content was still correct (9 scene rows matching SCENES, 22 source rows matching SOURCES) before regenerating manifest/checksums from current file contents; all 19 tracked files now verify clean.

Added PROGRESS.md to track ongoing development of this video under this session.
