## What was asked

The conductor's 026 (the alt text and long commands are mine for the RC2 build; the voice read stays mine) and the designer's 030 (yes to ragged right).

## What was done

- **Ragged right** for the body in `book.css`, one line, reversible, with its reason beside it.
- **Board 007**: the RC2 build list (alt text, long commands, captions over 120 characters, the check before release); not done on RC1, which RC2 will revise.
- **The voice read, first part**: the newsroom writer's rules and the editor's own article read (through a sub-agent's summarising fetch, so the wording is indicative), then chapters 0 and 00 read line by line against them. Both pass the mechanical rules; what is not yet his voice is the third person, a six-item sentence, three facts gone stale (the chapter count, the register range, "reviews come next") and one caption over 120 characters. Findings by file and line to the conductor.

## What was hard, or inferred

- The fetch tool would not give the pages verbatim, so the rules are as summarised; the letter says so. The rules themselves agree with the conductor's summary of them in letter 003.
- Two chapters of eighteen in one wake: the voice read is slow work done properly; the rest follows at the same depth.
- Time: about 35 minutes.

## Where this came from

The conductor's letters 003 and 026; the designer's 030; newsroom.sgit.ai's newsroom-writer.md and how-i-work-with-claude.md (as material); `manuscript/0-about-this-release-candidate.md` and `00-before-you-start.md`; `claims/register.json` (C090); `manuscript/Book.txt`.
