Every Hand on the LineAct 1 · Elias, the Sea Shanty Singer
work song / shanty · call and response, the haul, the watch · 3:00
⚓ Real work (3 cycles, pushed to fleet-radio): fixed the flux-1-schnell typo that 404'd every image call, closed an XSS in episode pages (+2 tests), made direct runs work under tsx, removed shell-string execSync. 161 tests green (was 118). Claude Code guided; OpenCode's server kept erroring (noted honestly).
the room hauling the call going out the boat in the room

The Window With No BuildingAct 2 · Corinne, the Delta Blueswoman
12-bar blues · the ache as ledger, the crossroads as choice · 3:00
🎸 Real work (4 cycles, pushed to songforge): killed the phantom-path lie (outputs claimed for files never written), killed the astats lie (spectral features read 0.0 forever — now real STFT), exposed a dead CLI flag, documented the honest contract. 109 tests green. Claude Code found the first; the astats lie was her own.
the room gone quiet blue light the whiskey glass

The Phantom ShoalAct 3 · Jed, the Country Storyteller
narrative ballad · three chords and the truth, the long road · 3:30
🛣️ Real work (pushed to lucineer-system): several cycles with Claude Code + OpenCode guidance.
the room leaning in someone nodding like they know that road porch-light hush

Neon Memory of the FutureAct 4 · Nova, the Synthwave Dreamer
chill synthwave · neon memory, the projection, the self-aware submarine · 3:30
🌆 Real work (pushed to cns-bridge): several cycles with Claude Code + OpenCode guidance.
the room believes the light the projection holds the city under the water

Write It DownAct 5 · Ruth, the Folk Witness
plain-spoken protest folk · the word as witness · 3:00
📣 Real work (pushed to fleet-dashboard): the undocumented thing got documented — that's the witness's work — with Claude Code + OpenCode guidance.
the room listening like it matters someone writing down a line the common truth
