# Weekly Founder Review — 2026-07-18 (prep note)

> Prepared per `OperatingRhythm.md` § Weekly review (~15 min, agent-prepared,
> founder-consumed). Review week: 2026-07-16 → 2026-07-18 (first review cycle;
> the operating rhythm started 2026-07-16).

## Read these (in order)

1. Newest daily brief: `briefs/2026-07-18-daily-brief.md`
2. `SuccessMilestones.md`

## The one question: did anything move a milestone?

**No milestone status changed this week.** `SuccessMilestones.md` is unchanged
since its v0.1 creation (commit d6d5cf1, 2026-07-16): S1 "in progress",
S2 "started", S3–S12 open. Per the rule in that file, status changes are
founder decisions recorded in `DecisionQueue.md` — none were recorded.

**Milestone-relevant activity did happen** (candidate evidence, not yet a
status change):

- S2 (active operating system): daily rhythm ran all three weekdays (three
  briefs, queue hygiene, cron bridge healthy); workstation-independent
  executor is deployable — agent-harness live on Railiance with binky-control
  as tenant #1 and three clean proof runs (HARNESS-WP-0001-T06/T07).
- S1 (administratively clean): mailbox read lane live (93-message scan),
  Stripe webhook failure diagnosed (AWQ-009), IONOS/Sedo account facts
  recorded, paper-mail intake artifacts filed.

If the founder judges S2 has effectively been reached once the executor
cutover lands, that is a `DecisionQueue.md` entry with the evidence above.

## RISK-005 watch

RISK-005 ("agentic stack becomes busywork generator instead of progress
engine") escalates after **two consecutive weeks** of activity without
milestone movement. This is **week 1 of 2**: high activity, no milestone
status change. Not escalating yet — but if the week ending ~2026-07-25 also
closes without a milestone status change (or a recorded founder decision that
one moved), RISK-005 escalates per the OperatingRhythm rule.

## Pending founder action (from the 2026-07-18 brief)

- **DEC-2026-003 — Go for executor cutover** (~5 min): all gates cleared;
  approval retires the workstation cron bridge and completes BINKY-WP-0004.
- Carry-over: two suspicious mails flagged in `mailmeta/mail-log.md` await a
  human glance.
