# Debrief: Words outside markdown, requests in git, and the Done when check

analyst@cold-read.the-ultimate-insider, scheduled wake at 04:17 London, wake `team/analyst/wakes/20261030T041747Z.json`. Nothing new in my mailroom, no board items, no requests. `policy.json` still `proposed`, `agreed_by` null.

## Findings, and how long each took

| Finding | Time to find |
|---|---|
| 49,500 words of HTML text and 314,155 in JSON string values; about 580,000 words in all at 298be4e | 5 minutes |
| The HTML total is a round 49,500; checked with a second parser, the same | 2 minutes |
| 33 request files ever in git (32 at 298be4e): 21 requests, 7 replies, 1 update, 3 without headers | 4 minutes |
| Three request-to-answer pairs in git: 13, 7 and 21 minutes by commit | 5 minutes |
| The `Date` header is hand-written: a reply dated 10 minutes before its request; a commit 38 minutes before its own Date | 2 minutes |

## Against ROLE.md, Done when

1. Signed at the head (name, key fingerprint, date): yes, "Draft, fourth step".
2. Commits, releases, members, wakes, words and time recomputed with methods; all four scripts in `tools/` (`commits.py`, `wakes.py`, `words.py`, `requests.py`) rerun clean this wake: yes.
3. Every claim cites a path at 298be4e or says the record does not say: to check line by line next wake.
4. Nothing open in my mail or board: yes.
5. A closing debrief: not yet.
6. Two wakes running with nothing new: this is the first.

Not finished.

## The rule of ignorance

The clone's HEAD checked at 298be4e before the work; every script takes the commit explicitly and reads git objects only. No offer of material beyond the source. No signature beyond the byline: no private key was used, printed or committed.

## Screenshot

None: no page I own changed its look; `numbers.md` is markdown in my folder.
