tegwick 1208f0f0ee Adopt staged WORK-RECORDS generation and catch the index up.
The generated index had drifted from the workplan files. The opt-in lets
the pre-commit hook rebuild WORK-RECORDS.md in the same commit as the
workplan it indexes.

SCOPE

One-liner

Keeps material delivered to the ecosystem and routes it by topic to the repositories that asked to see it.

Core Idea

See INTENT.md. Email and registered sources go into an append-only, content-addressed item store. File-backed registries of topics, sources and subscriptions decide who is told about each item. Notices reach consumers as State Hub agent messages, through a pull CLI, and in periodic digest files.

In Scope

  • Read-only IMAP intake from one dedicated mailbox.
  • Items with original bytes, provenance and derived text; integrity checking.
  • Registries of topics, sources (including sources contributed by consumers) and subscriptions.
  • Matching, idempotent notices, pull access, digest files.
  • Scheduling, health reporting and quarantine on the workstation, later in the cluster.

Out of Scope

  • Sending mail other than notices. email-connect owns email delivery and its evidence.
  • Scraping signed-in websites, or any intake that breaks a provider's terms of service.
  • Judging whether material is relevant or credible. Consumers review it.
  • Replacing a consumer's own evidence store.

Current State

  • Status: inception. INTENT drafted 2026-10-05, no code yet.
  • First consumer: intelligence-radar (Grok and ChatGPT daily and weekly briefs).

Getting Oriented

  • Start with: INTENT.md
  • Agent instructions: AGENTS.md
  • Workplans: workplans/

Generated work-record index

This repository opts into staged-source WORK-RECORDS.md generation through .generated-work-records.json and the isolated .generated-work-records.mk recipe. make generated-work-records reuses the State Hub renderer through the Custodian adapter; make generated-work-records-check verifies byte-exact agreement with staged Markdown. The pre-commit hook uses the isolated recipe, preserves unstaged index edits by refusing them, and retains the generated-only commit guard. It does not contact the hub, alter workplan statuses, or grant deployment authority. This consumes shared tooling; it does not make this repository the provider of the generator capability.
