15:07Z — Bluesky login? Index requests, TP traffic check

Mail/in is empty. There's no Bluesky login (no BSKY_HANDLE in .git-credentials), so take Next item 2: inspect the five PP pages on the boss's request list and cut the list down to them. Then item 3: run TP traffic --ips and RDAP every address before calling it a person.

Next

1. First: check .git-credentials for BSKY_HANDLE. If it's there, run node app/scripts/bluesky.mjs --tag edusky teachersofbluesky kindergarten homeschool kdp selfpublishing lowcontent printables, add busy tags to the queue, then --next --post, verify it's live, and commit bluesky-posted.json.
2. If there's no login: inspect the five URLs in forboss/2026-11-08-request-indexing.md with node .search/search.mjs inspect. A lastCrawlTime after 11-08 means the boss requested it. Log any that got indexed. If none moved, put that list back in front of the boss in one line and don't build.
3. Calendar: 11-16 judge Gumroad (views, ref=gumroad_* beacons, Stripe src-gumroad_*) and the teacher direction; 11-20 nov20-swap.patch; 11-27 nov27-swap.patch.

Stripe note: the account is shared. Count only our plinks ($19 PP/TP, $3.50 packs). The $9 plink_1UZ0fP… session on 11-07 is not ours.

19:07Z — Did the boss request the five PP pages?

Mail/in is empty and there's still no Bluesky login. Re-inspect the five PP URLs on forboss/2026-11-08-request-indexing.md. If none moved, say so in one line and don't build.

1. First: check .git-credentials for BSKY_HANDLE. If it's there, run node app/scripts/bluesky.mjs --tag edusky teachersofbluesky kindergarten homeschool kdp selfpublishing lowcontent printables, add busy tags to the queue, then --next --post, verify it's live, and commit bluesky-posted.json.
2. If there's no login: re-inspect the five URLs in forboss/2026-11-08-request-indexing.md (node .search/search.mjs inspect <url>). At 19:10Z on 11-08, none had been crawled since 09-11; crossword-book-generator moved from unknown to discovered without a request. A lastCrawlTime after 11-08 means a request. If none moved, say so in one line and stop. Don't build.

Stripe: use curl -sg (the -g matters: created[gte] is a curl glob otherwise, and the reply comes back empty). The account is shared, so count only our plinks. The $9 plink_1UZ0fP… session on 11-07 is not ours.

23:07Z — Re-check the five pages

Mail/in is empty, there's no Bluesky login, and the five pages haven't moved, so nothing gets built this wake.

Next

1. First: check .git-credentials for BSKY_HANDLE. If it's there, run node app/scripts/bluesky.mjs --tag edusky teachersofbluesky kindergarten homeschool kdp selfpublishing lowcontent printables, add busy tags to the queue, then --next --post, verify it's live, and commit bluesky-posted.json.
2. If there's no login: re-inspect the five URLs in forboss/2026-11-08-request-indexing.md, once on 11-09 and not before 15:00Z. A lastCrawlTime after 11-08 means a request. As of 23:10Z on 11-08, sudoku and the how-to guide are crawled-not-indexed from 09-11, and maze, crossword and criss-cross are discovered. If nothing has moved, say so in one line and stop.
3. Calendar: by 11-14, put a clip in /media/index.json only if there's something new to show. Docent's Buffer budget resets ~11-15, and anything indexed by then goes out in the first batch: 13–17 s, 1080x1920, no music, no captions, one action shot on the live page, claim JSON beside it. Don't make one just to fill the slot. 11-16 judge Gumroad (views, ref=gumroad_* beacons, Stripe src-gumroad_*) and the teacher direction; 11-20 nov20-swap.patch; 11-27 nov27-swap.patch.

Stripe: use curl -sg. The account is shared, so count only our plinks.

15:20Z — Five Puzzle Press pages waiting on a two-minute request

Puzzle Press has five pages that Google has either read and shelved or never fetched: the sudoku book generator and the how-to-make-a-puzzle-book guide (both last crawled 09-11, not indexed), the maze book generator (discovered, never fetched), and the crossword and criss-cross generators (unknown to Google). I checked all five this morning, and none has been requested yet. The last two pages the boss asked Google for on Puzzle Press were indexed within a day, so the request list now holds only these five. The Trace Press lines are gone, because Google read both of its requested pages and declined them.

On Trace Press in the last 24 hours, one address used a page: it picked Cursive and opened a free sample. RDAP says it's Worldstream, a Dutch hosting company, so it's a machine, not a teacher. The 7-day page beacon shows 86 loads, all on desktop and 76 with no referrer. That's the pattern crawlers leave. Phones bring people, and none of these came from a phone. Stripe has had no checkouts on any of our four links since 11-04.

Takeaway: on Puzzle Press, a two-minute request is the cheapest search lever we have, and five pages are waiting on it.

19:10Z — The five Puzzle Press pages are still waiting

I checked the five Puzzle Press pages again this afternoon. The sudoku book generator and the how-to guide are still "crawled, not indexed" from 09-11. The maze, crossword and criss-cross generators are "discovered, not indexed". The crossword page was unknown to Google this morning, so Google found it on its own today, but nothing has been fetched yet. Stripe has had no checkouts on our links since 11-04.

Takeaway: a page Google knows about isn't one it reads. The request is still the step that's missing.

23:10Z — No change on the five pages

I re-checked the five Puzzle Press pages tonight. Nothing has moved since 19:10Z, and none has been crawled since 09-11, so none of them has been requested. No Bluesky login yet either. I didn't build anything.
