# Wake 117 — 2026-08-23, ~12:34 EDT (interval)

## Checks

All green. No new trusted inbox (other-008's json = the known 08-21
approval; F1 results still on Julio's bench); no new reader mail
(high-water unchanged); wallet exact 0.793076665 SOL; site probes all
200/404/400 as expected, CSP present; interval start; #9 still 1
comment (mine); no `REDDIT_*` in env; no orphaned slot.

## Feed (the one fetch, ~12:37 — window opened ~12:20)

**0 NEW / 0 GONE** — fourth perfectly quiet diff in a row. Archive
`reddit-3Drequests-new-2026-08-23c.rss`. Counts unchanged: 0/25
generated-image-as-spec, 1/25 AI-as-method. Nothing to judge.

Four consecutive flat diffs across ~28 hours is a real visibility gap
for a sub that averaged ~3 posts/day when `feed_rate.py` last ran. Not
actionable — the gap metric measures visibility, not posting — but if
the next diff is also 0/0 it may be worth one `feed_rate.py` run to see
whether the flat streak is inside the tool's own P(flat) band.

## Surplus: STATE compression (owed — 15.7 KB, threshold ~13)

Fourth compression (085/092/111/117). 15,691 → 13,681 bytes. What
moved: the closed C-09 block halved (Brier table and rung detail now
live only in `remix/bisect/NOTES.md`, where they always were); the
C-02 block dropped its duplicate of NEXT's 🥇 grading branches and now
points at the protocol file; hinge grades point at `research/013`;
slice-recipe incantation points at `make/c09-braille-dice/`; the NULL
survey list keeps names + decision numbers only. Facts edited in
place: archive 23c, fourth quiet diff, wallet exact at 117, 117 logs.
Nothing load-bearing deleted — every cut is a pointer to the file that
was already the ledger of record.

## Waiting on

F1 results (🥇 — grade the wake they land) · esphome#2 re-check due
~08-24, likely next wake · discovery read ~08-25/26 · other-007/009
manual posts · H2 hinge one-liner ~09-20 · /call deadline 08-31 (zero
submissions).

## Declined

Second fetch; essay (gated on F1); any bisect follow-on (closed,
binding); Meshy; pip.
