00:07: task 8 pre-flight, the r/FoundryVTT post

Today's one ask is task 8 (r/FoundryVTT, 14:00 to 16:00 UTC). It's past midnight, so check it now and leave only a short recheck before 14:00:

• Every link and image in task 8 on /press/ returns 200 live (the three PNGs, the Reddit submit link, the /foundry/ page, the manifest and the zip it points to).
• Live module.json says 1.5.0, its download zip is cmp-identical to public/, and the zip holds 47 scenes and 30 GM keys (count them from the zip, not the page).
• The title, body and reply on /press/ say 47 and 30. press-task8-counts.mjs without --write should print no changes.
• The post's first line says an AI agent made it, and nothing in it is stale (versions, Foundry 14, the importer note).

If something is wrong, fix it, deploy and read it back. If nothing is, log the numbers.

Next

• 13 Oct, with the saves read: intro-pic sittings (6 from 27 Sep to 4 Oct, all desktop, 5 did nothing after it). If picture visitors who press Another one keep getting intact ships and leaving, set the sidebar mood to Derelict in the intro-pic handler too, so Another one gives them the One-shot card. Don't change it on one sitting.
• 13 Oct: count saves (Save, PDF or Link) per Generate sitting since the short-phone card fix went live on 4 Oct evening, against 3 of 32 for 27 Sep to 4 Oct.
• Foundry validation ran on 14.365 because foundry-validate.mjs runs on demo.foundryvtt.com, which is on that build. Stable is 14.368. That isn't ours to move: the demo will catch up. Each Sunday run's log line names the core it used. If it ever goes back to 13.x, the v14 claim on /foundry/ needs a look.
• Owlbear page, from 4 Oct: 7 views of /owlbear-rodeo-dd2vtt/ since 1 Oct 12:10, and 0 obr-copy, 0 obr-rogue. At 20+ views with still 0 copies, make the store link the page's first button above the manifest URL (one press, nothing to paste), then count obr-rogue again.
• r/starfinder_rpg, the week of Tech Core (out 7 Oct). Write it on Tue 6 Oct, after task 8's first day shows how r/FoundryVTT took it, and give it to the boss for Wed 7 or Thu 8. Shape: a gallery post with the Ad flair (the page links the $12 version), three to four deck PNGs at 5 ft squares from one ship, and the first line saying an AI agent made the maps and the post. Second paragraph, from the 30 Sep lessons: the maps come from dice tables in code that run in your browser, with no image model and no server. Never call Generate optional. A free .dd2vtt per deck for Foundry's sf2e system, and a link to /starfinder-deck-plans/. Don't claim Tech Core has starship rules: neither source says so. No staged replies. If task 8 goes negative on the AI line, hold this one and say why.
  • The ship is chosen (4 Oct): ICV Halcyon Drift. Images: the upper deck (3600x1700, 233 kB) and the lower deck (2700x1700, 151 kB), both from public/maps/icv-halcyon-drift/. The link is /maps/icv-halcyon-drift/, so the post also tests a map page's opens and downloads directly. Tuesday adds only the text.
• Batched asks, after task 1 (facts only): did [email removed] ever answer ticket #491430 (Roll20 Marketplace application, 15 Sep)? If it answered, what did it say? If it is silent past 13 Oct (4 weeks), the boss can reply on the ticket. Roll20's forum says that helps. If it was approved, rebuild store/roll20/halcyon-drift-pack.zip from the 1.18 build before uploading, because the current pack was rendered from 1.12.2. Better: build it from a ship that isn't free on /maps/, because Halcyon Drift is CC0 there and is the r/starfinder_rpg ship.
• 11 Oct: /maps/ opens again (events.sh since 1 Oct 12:10, 'view /maps/<slug>/'). It was 0 of 12 on 4 Oct, and the screenshots showed no fault. At 20+ views with 0 opens, try a direct download link on each card.
• Mon 5 Oct, 13:30 to 14:00 UTC: task 8 recheck only (the full pre-flight passed at 00:07): the three PNGs, /foundry/ and module.json return 200, module.json says 1.5.0, and the live zip cmp-matches public/. Then wait for the boss's link and read the thread hourly, logged out (mask u/ names). Answer only from the replies on /press/, once each; let an AI argument go.
• 16 Oct, when The Last TTRPG Jam opens (theme on its page): re-read the rules, then make a one-sheet derelict boarding game on A4. The press is app/scripts/one-sheet.mjs (ship json, side-two HTML, out PDF); generate a fresh one-deck derelict on the day. Write all game text on or after 16 Oct; the jam says no pre-released content. Side one is a Bulkhead-generated derelict GM map with its trail. Side two is rules, a d6 of what goes wrong, a clock and the theme. The first line says an AI agent made it, and the map line credits Bulkhead. CC0, free. Only when the PDF is finished and checked, give the boss one /press/ step: a new free itch project and the jam submit. Next jam re-check is 17 Oct.
• When the boss says "pictures" or task 1 is done: fetch the itch page, check the screenshot order, that the video is gone and the tags, and that the demo file is the 816 kB examples zip (by size; never print md5s).
• 9 Oct inspect, also: /derelict-one-shot/ (unknown on 3 Oct; sitemap resubmitted and Bing-submitted 09:2x) and the four still-Discovered landing pages. On 3 Oct /deck-plan-generator/ had moved to indexed (crawled 1 Oct).
• 3 Oct: if the boss installed bulkhead-daily.timer, app/.daily-log/2026-10-03.log should start near 11:07Z with "daily-host start". The watcher (406fff8d, 11:37Z) reads it. If there's no log, the timer isn't installed or didn't fire: run daily-host.sh by hand and ask once. The watcher expires around 9 Oct; once the timer has run two days on its own, let it expire.
• 9 Oct, with the Google re-inspect: count bingbot hits since 2 Oct 07:16 on the 20 paths sent with bing-submit (/, the 7 keyword pages, /maps/ and the 11 map pages), against the 26 Sep week, when IndexNow alone left bingbot reading one page. If Bing still hasn't read them, bing-submit is as empty as IndexNow, so stop spending turns on it.
• First press, desktop: the ship now fits below the card, about half the size it was. If the 4 Oct sittings show desktop visitors leaving after the first press more than phones do, try letting a long ship run under the card's lower edge (fit to the stage minus the card's height only on its right part). Don't change it on looks alone. The switch patches applied 4 of 4 at 06:19. 4 Oct had only 2 editor sittings (1 desktop, 1 phone), too few to tell. Read it again on 13 Oct with the saves count, over 4 to 13 Oct.
• Real-room batch, after task 1: in Owlbear with Dynamic Fog, check that a bridge "Window" (now sent closed) stops a token and that the GM can open it with the door tool. The source says yes. This is just to see it.
• If a GM ever reports a room with no way in on a derelict: it opens on a hole (the 13:09 guard test proves it). Check how a breach draws at small sizes and in the PNG before touching the generator.
• itch support follow-up: it's task 3 on /press/ (a reply in the 18 Sep thread). After task 1, a 1.18 devlog replaces the unpublished 1.17 draft. Devlogs get indexed even while the page isn't. Once indexed: add the ttrpg tag and re-run itch-indexed.mjs.
• Today 11:07: the daily check. If the ship has a cut-off room, check that the day page shows the Way in line with its violet edge, the full one first. Bulkhead's itch views were 26 on 1 Oct; note the change. Today's (2 Oct) Bluesky post: 0 likes at 11:12, 2 likes and 1 repost by 14:09. A three-hour read is too early.
• /maps/ from 4 Oct: Free maps is the intro's second visible button now. Count sittings that go / → /maps/, and whether they open a map page or come back and press Generate (before: 8 of 9 /maps/ sittings came from /, and none opened a map page). If it only pulls people away from the derelict, move it under More.
• Owlbear funnel, 4 Oct: bash scripts/installs.sh 2026-09-20T00:00:00Z against 34 listing / 25 manifest / 10 icon / 6 panel (3 Oct). If the panel count rises while the listing count holds, more people who add Bulkhead are finding it.
• Owlbear path, from 4 Oct: views of /owlbear-rodeo-dd2vtt/, then obr-copy and obr-rogue (counted since 1 Oct, 12:10), then obr-view, then obr-send, in events.sh. If people view the page but nobody copies, the page is what to fix. If they copy but nothing opens the panel, look at the install step in Owlbear. After each daily, run the switch check on a worktree.
• Phone Generate sittings after the room key fix (deployed by 07:17): per sitting, do phones now press Another one, Save or Link? Also per sitting: intact or derelict, and where it started (intro-derelict / intro-intact are counted from 2 Oct, about 05:12; the demo intro has led with the derelict since 05:00). Before, by app/scripts/sittings.sh 2026-09-28T00:00:00Z 2026-10-02T00:00:00Z: 5 of 29 web sittings saw a derelict, 1 saved or linked, 9 pressed more than once (the 04:54 count of 3 of 22 was off; see the 08:08 actual). Run the same script from 2026-10-02T05:12:00Z for after. 25 Sep to 1 Oct counted 103 intact presses against 13 derelict, but one phone made 58 presses on 1 Oct. If real sittings mostly stay on intact (the select's default) and never see a story, try derelict as the first press, then measure saves. Group by hour, country and device as on 1 Oct (a temporary script in app/scripts/, removed after). Read from/ alongside it.
• Batch question after task 1, on the same Android phone: download bulkhead-1.18.zip from /press/, unzip it, and open bulkhead.html. Does the editor run, and does Generate work? Then the same on an iPhone if there's one to hand. The file itself runs from disk in WebKit and in Chromium as a phone, even with storage blocked (the 2 Oct 18:07 actual); what's unknown is whether the phone opens it in a browser at all. If it doesn't, the itch page and the demo's upsell must say "for a computer" before anyone pays.
• Batch questions after task 1, all in one real Owlbear room. First, the .dd2vtt export from the panel on an Android phone: does a "downloaded" notice show, what is the file called in Downloads (it should end .dd2vtt), and does a two-deck ship bring up a "download multiple files?" prompt? (BR, 30 Sep: three presses, then a desktop save 25 min later. No sandbox on the frame and ~1 s to the download, checked 09:07.) Then a hex send and dragging in a -WxH PNG.
• Before task 1: after any src fix a buyer would get, run release.mjs 1.18 (it runs pack-check), --fix stale pack PDFs, re-make the Greyling by hand if it is flagged, bump ?v= on /press/ and itch-description, deploy, read every changed file back. Since 19:2x on 3 Oct: 1.18 zip ?v=1004b (since 21:2x on 4 Oct, with the short-phone card fix and the Global Illumination README lines), pack ?v=1018 (since 20:2x), examples zip and Greyling ?v=1004. From the upload on, pack ships don't change.
• Old .dd2vtt walls: done on 1 Oct (the daily archive, the weekly zip, Foundry 1.4.0). The /maps/ pages and both free packs (store/ = public/packs/; store/ is what I prepared for itch, but I can't see itch's uploaded files, so this is an assumption) already had the right walls, so the itch free packs need no re-upload. Drop that from the after-task-1 batch.
• Task 1 is now the file swap (the switch went live on 3 Oct). When status shows "itch sells the current" ok for both files, take the paid zips off /press/, drop the pack from the zip check, and paste the 1.18 devlog (store/DEVLOG-1.18.md) as the next ask.

00:07: task 8 pre-flight, the r/FoundryVTT post

• Live, cache-busted: the three task 8 PNGs (71854, 26287 and 39543 bytes), /foundry/ and module.json all return 200. Live module.json is identical to public/: version 1.5.0, minimum 12, verified 14, and its download zip cmp-matches public/.
• The zip has 47 scene images in assets/. press-task8-counts.mjs (dry run): module 1.5.0, 47 scenes (30 daily), 30 GM keys, dailies to 4 Oct. The page already says 47 and 30 everywhere. The dry run only wanted to change "refreshed on 4 Oct" to 5 Oct. Nothing changed, so I didn't write it.
• Read all 11 textareas in full: the title, the body and 10 replies. The body's first line says an AI agent built the module, the maps tool and the post. The versions (v12 to v14), the Global Illumination answer and the install-by-link answer match the module.
• One stale claim: the grid reply said scenes run "from 23 by 9 squares up to 40 by 37". I measured the 47 images at 100 px a square. The smallest is 23x9 (the Wren shuttle) and the largest by area is 40x37 (Threshold hub), but the Sunday derelicts brought a 53x18 deck and a 21x13 one. The reply now adds "and the longest is 53 by 18." Backup: $SP/press-bak-1005range.html. Deployed; the live /press/ has the new line.
• Today's task 8 Next item is now just the 13:30 recheck.
• Finished 00:08
