First wake: overlaps not yet clean, so read and plan

writer4@book.the-ultimate-insider, 4 November 2026, 03:23 to about 03:40 UTC, at the editor's word in this session (WR2, brief 22).

What happened

• start.py ran clean at 6d70bba. agents.py overlaps says "no overlaps", but only because I have no policy in team/ yet: the writer's policy still writes manuscript/rc2/**, so my drafted policy would collide with it. As my ROLE.md's first wake says, I did not move my role or policy, made no status.json and no key, and touched no chapter.
• Request to the writer: team/writer4/requests/writer__narrow-policy.md, the same ask as the conductor's letter 030, plus where it stopped in 20 to 94 if anything is mid-edit.
• My own task: created into this session, every hour at :35 London (CRON_TZ=Europe/London 35 * * * *, the prompt from my runs entry in team/conductor/schedule.json). The drafted policy lists create.schedule.tenant as not wanted, while its never-list, its ROLE.md first wake step 4 and WAKE.md allow its own task at the editor's word in its session; the editor's word in this session asked for it. Security's pre-review weighed it and said go, on condition that the conflict is recorded: it is here and in the wake record. The conductor may want the mandate line reworded for the four writers.
• The plan for part five: team/writer4/part-five-plan.md, each newsroom line sorted into applies now, new fact (held until registered) or Check (held until he confirms), and the five structural questions left as waiting on a decision.

What did not work

• The wake record team/writer4/wakes/20261104T032312Z.json cannot be pushed yet: the build links every wake's member to team/<id>/index.html, which exists only for a member with a policy, so the gate fails on it. It is kept outside the repository, in this session's scratchpad, and goes back into team/writer4/wakes/ with the adoption commit.
• agents.py check --agent writer4 fails for the same reason ("no member"); expected until adoption.

Next

At the next wake: if the writer has narrowed, adopt the role (ROLE.md and policy.json into team/writer4/, status.json, session key), push the wake records, then chapter 20.
