Hermes Task Zero

[Nia / acting-reel outreach / SBR / draft-only blocker] Send my stuff to the Marvel casting agents — get an agent. Likely Marvel casting route found: Sarah Finn Company / Sarah Halley Finn; public listings and Hunter pass found **no verified email**. Public route remains mail-only headshot/resume, no calls/drop-offs. Safe self-route Mail Draft pushed to Umnia; external outreach waits on reel/headshots/CV + verified route + Nia send. Talent-agent tracker for post-showreel outreach now started at `projects/acting-outreach/talent-agent-showreel-targets.md`; Inclusive Talent added with Diane Janssen and Sarah Leigh as `ready-when-showreel`. Evidence: `projects/agent-ops/drafts-ready/sbr-easy-drafts-2026-06-22/draft-push-report-2026-06-22.txt`; `projects/acting-opportunities/OUTREACH-LIST.md`; `projects/acting-outreach/talent-agent-showreel-targets.md`.

[Nia / 714 / SBR / delegated 2026-06-29; social automation repaired 2026-07-27] 714 Ep3 & trailer is being handled by Mariama; do not treat as a Nia active-work burden unless a new Nia decision need appears. Minnie downloaded the Dropbox BTS/social folder, added 3 new Episode 2 clips from the refreshed link on 2026-07-27, wrote/queued captions, and repaired the daily Instagram-first cadence via cron `6ee2e1ead22e` at 16:00 London. Current status: clips 1–3 are live on Instagram; clips 1–2 are live on YouTube Shorts; clips 4–8 remain queued one/day. YouTube Shorts backfill is blocked on 714 YouTube OAuth reauth; TikTok is pending until `@714thechallenge` is usable in Metricool/remote posting. Cleanup blocker: duplicate Instagram Reel `https://www.instagram.com/reel/Da_Qg2BjMGH/` needs owner-account UI deletion because API delete lacks permission. Evidence: `projects/714/social-intake/dropbox-20260719-new-clips/714-new-clips-manifest.json`; state `projects/714/social-intake/dropbox-20260719-new-clips/714-new-clips-posting-state.json`; latest IG receipt `projects/714/social-intake/dropbox-20260719-new-clips/reports/714-new-clips-post-03-20260727T143055Z.json`; Episode 2 intake `projects/714/social-intake/dropbox-20260719-new-clips/reports/714-dropbox-episode2-intake-20260727.json`.

[Jordan / marketplace public listing + sold-sync / eBay-only continuation active; Depop parked 2026-07-31] New resale listing work is eBay-first; Depop is no longer active unless Nia explicitly reopens it. 2026-07-31 social-inbox wig batch complete: all 8 grouped wig rows from `SOCIAL-INBOX/EBAY LISTING` are live on eBay at £15 floor and synced to Selling Clothes/Notion: `206455665787`, `206455684326`, `206455703809`, `206455840696`, `206455848302`, `206455871256`, `206455907422`, `206455915354`. Evidence: `projects/marketplace-reconciler/reports/action_queues/social_inbox_wig_batch_complete_20260731.md`; reconcile `projects/marketplace-reconciler/reports/reconciliation_20260731_142240.md`. Clothing from social inbox remains Needs check for readable size/label before eBay/Vinted; electronics/accessories updated with Nia round-02 facts: iPhone is XR and sale-intended; MagSafe item is an Apple Watch/MagSafe travel wireless charger mat; Zoom recorder is parked from sale for rental; Trackpad/Anker condition facts recorded; AirPods need model+cleaning; Apple keyboard/box row corrected. Remaining blockers are price/floor and buyer-safe function/model details before live electronics/accessory listings; round-03 leftovers now identified into small accessory candidates/bundles, with Zoom-related bits kept rental-only; round-04 mop-up added knee supports, e-reader, and likely iPhone 16 Pro case groups. 2026-08-01: round-03/04 leftover accessory rows were added to Selling/Notion as Needs check/Parked; no eBay live listings created yet. 2026-08-01 floor research saved; iPhone XR is rental-only, while Trackpad/Keyboard should sell only above researched reserves or be moved to rental. 2026-08-02 Nia clarified that all sale inventory is already photographed; there is no further inventory after the current set is listed, so Jordan’s marketplace sprint is now optimise/list current eBay/Vinted stock rather than source more items. Fresh strategy pass estimates current photographed sale-intended tracker value at £1,295.17 (£1,060.30 live + £234.87 not-live/needs-check), leaving a £594.83 gap to the £1,890 sales target if prices hold. Nia accepted the gap and reset the next-2-weeks operating aim to get as close as possible and push the highest-profit sales, not chase full target perfection. 2026-08-02 sales-boost execution completed: tightened/verified eBay descriptions for Jonas Brothers `206450749107`, Frank Carter `206455505319`, SKIMS grey `206455336612`, SKIMS brown `206455346502`; listed Laura Marling Semper Femina on eBay `206459890746` at £29.99 and updated Selling Clothes/Notion; attempted Vinted cross-posts for clean eBay-only clothing but Vinted size selector would not persist size and no Vinted listing/boost/spend was created. Evidence: `projects/marketplace-reconciler/reports/action_queues/sales_boost_execution_20260802.md`. 2026-08-02 Nia added pricing permission for analysis: willing to take up to 10% loss on actually-used items (>1 use), not new/unworn/worn-once/mint items; no live price changes made. Model says current priced sale-intended DB is £1,639.15 asking, old floor-constrained value £749.98, new floor-constrained value £657.99, improvement £91.99, predicted sprint-period viable gross about £750–£850. Evidence: `projects/marketplace-reconciler/reports/action_queues/used_item_10pct_loss_rule_model_20260802.md`. Nia also confirmed MagSafe Duo condition very good, Anker hub excellent, and AirPods gen 1; Selling Clothes/Notion notes updated, but buyer-safe electronics listings still need exact compatibility/function wording where visible. Known eBay blocker remains Grey trousers: eBay requires exact buyer-visible size and source evidence does not verify it. No Depop, messages, offers, postage/account/settings changes, promotions, boosts, or spend.

[Nia / OBSCURAE merch / SBR / friday launch incident 2026-07-03 / incomplete-post blocker] Film Is Forever crop hoodie promo push did **not** fully send/post on Friday: Ghost website post published at Fri 15:00 London, but Ghost newsletter/email did not attach/send (`newsletter: null`, `email: null`), Instagram one-shot cron `7f9814741bb0` never ran (`last_run_at: null`), and TikTok/Buffer only reached `PREPARED_FOR_BROWSER_EXEC` with no posted/queued receipt. Nia confirmed 2026-07-05 this was fortunate because the post was incomplete; do **not** recover/send/post until the post is fixed/completed and Nia explicitly approves the exact final copy/assets/destination. Incident evidence: `projects/agent-ops/incidents/obscurae-merch-friday-post-miss-2026-07-05.md`; original plan: `projects/social-video-crosspost/reports/obscurae-crop-hoodie-20260703-plan.json`; Ghost report: `projects/obscurae-magazine/reports/obscurae-crop-hoodie-newsletter-schedule-20260703.json`; TikTok receipt: `projects/social-video-crosspost/reports/latest-obscurae-crop-hoodie-tiktok-buffer-20260703.json`.

[Post / editor routing / current blocker / updated 2026-07-27] Remaining editor coverage needed: (1) Kitchen Sink quick picture locks/trailers in DaVinci, now narrowed by Nia's 2026-07-27 decision to give `Lie with Her` to Lore first and see where it goes from there; Nia will sort that email herself and decide next steps after Lore's response, (2) 714 omnibus edit, (3) 714 clips, (4) COVID Conscious Sizzle Notes, (5) LISTEN clips / LISTEN. Picks, (6) sound design/mix for remaining Kitchen Sink films. Nia correction 2026-07-08: Lore is unavailable for the new batch because he is doing Kitchen Sink picture locks; planned routing was Chinha → 714 Omnibus, 714 Clips, COVID Conscious Sizzle Notes and Mustafah → LISTEN clips. 2026-07-09 read+unread email audit: Chinha explicitly said yes to the current sent ask covering 714 Clips + COVID Conscious Sizzle and can start Monday next week if timing works; Mustafa explicitly said yes to LISTEN and needs answers on site-combination logic plus sound/colour responsibility; no explicit current yes found for 714 Omnibus because the actual sent Chinha ask omitted Omnibus. Then ask Tom from Capsule Sound Department for a bounded Kitchen Sink sound design/mix quote for the remaining 5 once picture is stable. Nia approves/sends all outreach and any spend. Evidence: `projects/agent-ops/post-production-editor-routing-2026-07-02.md`; `projects/agent-ops/inbox/post-production-editor-yes-check-2026-07-09.md`; prior draft evidence `projects/agent-ops/drafts-ready/flagged-unread-response-drafts-2026-07-07/server-draft-verification.json`; 2026-07-27 Minnie handoff update.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE website promo + PR follow-up / Ghost + Mail Draft ready / manual publish-send decision] Review the Ghost Draft `MUBI and Everyman tune into cinema’s soundscapes with Sonic Journeys Weekender` (`mubi-everyman-sonic-journeys-weekender-2026`), backdated to 24 Jul 2026 in Ghost while kept as `status=draft`, with no newsletter/email attached, and decide whether to send/update the threaded Ruweyda/Organic reply. Social make-good is no longer blocked: Louise posted Instagram feed live 2026-08-08 (`https://www.instagram.com/p/DbxL7tPApKx/`), and Nia/Umnia confirmed she manually posted the TikTok after the Buffer route hit a macOS Chrome Safe Storage keychain prompt. Remaining live actions are any Ghost publish/newsletter/send decisions only; Hermes still sent no email and did not post TikTok.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE screening access + Primetime coverage follow-up / live coverage + Drafts ready] Primetime DDA materials reply received from Piers 2026-08-07 after Nia manually sent the access request. Louise downloaded trailer/poster/one-pager assets, created the article/newsletter in Ghost, posted the trailer live to Instagram + TikTok per Nia’s explicit request, then replaced the article feature image with a clean 16:9 trailer still instead of the poster. 2026-08-08 flagged-email sweep: threaded Piers thank-you/links Draft pushed/verified from `umnia@obscurae.co.uk`, linking article, Instagram and TikTok; no email sent by Hermes. Remaining decision: Nia manually reviews/sends the Draft if happy and decides whether to chase wider access/screening follow-up with DDA team.

Louise verified official AEG/O2/Live Nation route context and pushed a server-side Draft from `umnia@obscurae.co.uk` to the named event contact with artist-publicity/O2 cc; Hermes sent no email.

[Nia + Minnie / Commercials production / SBR / Thursday 2026-08-06 / Nia-only spend + approval-gated] Cotrini Thursday shoot logistics now corrected from the earlier Broadstairs/Baia placeholder: Cotrini beauty shoot at Barking studio, 1:30pm HMU outside location, 2pm crew call/access, 2-hour location window, 4pm wrap. Remaining Nia-owned actions: confirm who needs the travel note/deck, shot-priority list, HMU/kit/disposables gaps, and pack-out. Hermes has not bought tickets/props, sent messages, booked anything, or made commitments. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-production/cotrini-beauty-shoot/COTRINI-THURSDAY-BRIEF.md`; prior SBR page `3ae4146c-d4e3-81d9-a89c-d5a730f160c6` may need live retitle if still visible.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE merch-social shoot / SBR / in progress / approval-gated] Plan and coordinate the `Our Life is a Movie` merch shoot: lock Valeria date + Coldharbour Blue 2-hour location window for Wednesday 12 August, then send Juanita and Micah the final when/where; bring merch items, popcorn, stickers/water-bottle/phone props, OBSCURAE website phone close-ups, and fries/takeaway/table props. SBR page updated with deck-informed checklist and 2-hour flow. 2026-08-03: Chris at Coldharbour Blue asked for details by email; Mail Draft pushed then Nia manually sent on 2026-08-03, keeping Valeria cc'd. 2026-08-07: threaded follow-up Mail Draft pushed to Chris, cc Valeria, asking again for the best 2-hour window, hire rate, and access requirements. Hermes has not booked, posted, or promised anything live. Evidence: follow-up `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/coldharbour-blue-merch-shoot-follow-up-2026-08-07.md`; original draft `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/coldharbour-blue-merch-shoot-2026-08-03.md`; plan `projects/obscurae-magazine/social-promo/our-life-is-a-movie-merch-shoot-plan-2026-07-31.md`; SBR receipt `projects/agent-ops/notion-sync-evidence/obscurae-our-life-merch-shoot-sbr-20260731.json`.

[Nia + Minnie / Commercials / SBR / open / approval-gated] Review and prep commercial materials from the Valeria Schumann/Fernanda thread (including Astrid Mule references): build or update a deck for the potential cliopeppiatt.co.uk opportunity and include location options such as Richmond Road via 1st-option.

[Nia + Minnie / Commercials / SBR / waiting on Nia / follow-up decision] Decide whether to manually send the Fernanda/Valeria commercial follow-up Drafts in Mail. 2026-07-31: four Fernanda-related Mail Drafts were corrected to replace vague “preferential founding-partner terms” with reduced August early-rate / starting-close-to-cost language, and Valeria was added on Bcc to each; no emails were sent. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-vu-commercial-august/fernanda-mail-drafts-rewrite-2026-07-31.json`.

Hermes sent no emails. Key scan hygiene: prior 2026-08-03 send evidence has multiple route bounces to repair/avoid; Glisten routed product/campaign mail to Fran; Huion is wait/watch auto-ack; Dola AI/DHgate inbounds parked as low-fit/no-AI/junk.

[Nia + Jade / OBSCURAE VU August commercial outreach / Mail Drafts ready + IG DMs sent / 2026-07-31] Review/send the 10 first-wave OBSCURAE VU Mail Drafts manually if happy: Jovonna London, No Emotions, Ruddock Jewellery, Good Daze, EDXÚ, Ffern, Earl of East, Faace, Pelegrims, and Neighbourhood Botanicals. Jade verified these as active server-side Drafts from `Jade Rogers <partnerships@obscurae.co.uk>`; Hermes sent no emails. Instagram DM continuation: prior DMs observed for Jovonna, No Emotions, Ruddock, Good Daze, EDXÚ, Earl of East, Faace; Ffern rejected/no chase; Pelegrims, Neighbourhood Botanicals, Boost Drinks, and Tenzing sent; Pelegrims auto-replied with customer-service email note; Boost preview shows possible duplicated body text inside the same DM.

[Nia + Minnie / Kitchen Sink IMDb / external-account blocker / approval-gated] Update Kitchen Sink credits on IMDb once Nia provides IMDbPro access/session and explicitly approves the exact credit update/submission scope. Prep blocker/checklist captured; no IMDb edits/submissions yet. Evidence: `projects/kitchen-sink/IMDB-CREDITS-UPDATE-BLOCKER-2026-07-31.md`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE social promo automation / approval-gated / implementation next] Build and verify the replacement social promo automation. Nia approved both `OUT TODAY` carousel front variants, approved the `WHAT FILM IS THIS?` stills-only direction, and approved the revised photo-led newsletter/membership card after the extra spacing tweak between `Algorithm` and the CTA boxes. 2026-07-31 card-fix pass: patched the daily card digest so it surfaces recent unposted cards and any `APPROVED_TO_POST` cards without receipts instead of only same-day published items; reset watcher cron `b852cce2a172` (`every 30m`, next run refreshed) and digest cron `83233832e661` (`0 16 * * *`, next run refreshed); manual verification produced 12 `MEDIA:` previews and first surfaced missed cards included Nor Odyssey, SHE IS THE ANSWER, and approved-unposted Yorgos/Thought Summer. Same-day follow-up: Nia approved all surfaced cards with hard rule of at least 5 hours between card posting; 11 unique cards were approved/scheduled via one-shot wrappers from 2026-07-31 17:00 through 2026-08-04 10:00 UK, with verified minimum gap 5.0h; one duplicate 1536 card was cancelled before execution and marked duplicate to prevent double-posting. No Ghost locking performed. Merch asset folder/source images and merch copy tone are still next; weekly `what film is this?` autoprep remains a separate source-targeting/scheduling cleanup. No additional cards live-post from the new mechanism unless Nia approves the item/batch and the 5-hour spacing rule is preserved.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE podcast + website write-up / SBR / release 2026-08-03 / scheduled + follow-up draft prepared / approved upload-schedule scope] Edit/schedule the Tzeli `Lesvia` podcast and matching OBSCURAE website/newsletter for the UK + Republic of Ireland VOD release on Mon 3 Aug 2026. Longform MP4 is verified locally; edited runtime is 31:26; public chapters have been corrected to omit the old post-ending 31:11 closing chapter. Spotify listing was completed as a scheduled video episode for 3 Aug 2026 at 2:00 PM PDT, so YouTube and Ghost/OBSCURAE newsletter were aligned to 2026-08-03 21:00 UTC / 22:00 BST. YouTube `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkrVqBuzPXA` verified private-until-publish, processed, embeddable, title/description with digital-release info first; Ghost post `tzeli-on-lesvia-tolerance-memory-village-queer-history` verified scheduled with OBSCURAE newsletter/all segment and YouTube watch+embed links in body. Written interview draft for 4 Aug is quote/proper-noun checked against local transcript/show notes; release-day Chris/Paul thank-you Mail Draft is refreshed with the Spotify episode URL. 9:16 short promo clips are now scheduled/verified as @obscuraemedia Instagram Reels and @obscurae TikToks/Buffer posts for 1/2/3/4 Aug; TikTok clip 1 was shifted from the passed 23:00 BST slot to the earliest safe verified Buffer slot, 23:20 BST.

[Nia + Minnie / Kitchen Sink post-production / SBR / long-term / approval-gated] Find a long-term replacement/backup colourist for Kitchen Sink and future shorts. Helét has not said she can never colour again, but latest email says she cannot currently shuffle paid projects for unpaid ones; treat future Helét work as paid/availability-dependent, not guaranteed. 2026-07-30: Giuseppe Di Lecce draft corrected and pushed to Drafts as `Kitchen Sink — Lie with Her colour materials` for `studio@giuseppedilecce.com`, replacing November references with `Lie with Her`; placeholders remain for the picture-lock export, tone PDF, reference stills/moodboard, and problem-shot notes. Nia/Umnia must manually add links/attachments, review, and send if wanted; no file share, payment/rate commitment, or hiring commitment has happened.

Now-cancelled Picturehouse/PCC end-of-year venue-hire Drafts are historical only and should not be sent unless the screening is explicitly reopened. `SNAPSHOT` source mail was moved from Junk to INBOX; stale contributor-call Mail Draft was replaced with added EIFF/film context while preserving 16 active Bcc recipients, then Nia/Umnia appears to have manually sent the refreshed call on 2026-07-16. Corrected follow-up mailbox scan: Anike replied with strong interest and a gothic-literature/atmosphere angle; the apparent Willow “consider SNAPSHOT assigned” item was a Deleted Messages item with `\\Draft` flag and no matching Sent assignment, so it was not sent. Nia clarified SNAPSHOT is Anike’s; Willow is interest-only. Threaded Willow holding reply Draft saying SNAPSHOT has now been assigned was pushed/verified server-side on 2026-07-17. Threaded Anike assignment-confirmation Mail Draft was pushed/verified server-side on 2026-07-16. Megahub page `SNAPSHOT — Anike Aliu review` exists for assignment/fee note only; the actual payment reminder was corrected into Second Brain Redux as `Pay Anike Aliu £10 for SNAPSHOT review once delivered/accepted`, and the Megahub payment to-do was archived. Chinha/Lore assignment-option Drafts are historical/superseded by the group call + Anike assignment state.

It asks unpaid-eligible active contributors what TV shows they are watching/targeting across the rest of 2026, what access/screeners they want OBSCURAE to chase, and frames the lane as passion/contributor-based because there is not yet long-term budget. Draft verified server-side in iCloud Drafts from `umnia@obscurae.co.uk`, Bcc count 13, not sent by Hermes; excluded 3 known inactive/no-unpaid-likely contributors. 2026-07-28: Lucie Goulet replied wanting to cover the second half of `Rivals`; threaded affirmative reply Draft pushed/verified, asking for preferred shape/turnaround and noting OBSCURAE can chase screener access. Nia then approved chasing `Rivals` access via the same people who helped with `The Bear`; the WDM request was manually sent and Claudia redirected OBSCURAE to `rivalspr@organic-publicity.com`. 2026-08-03: replacement/current server Mail Draft `Screener / press access request — Rivals / OBSCURAE` pushed/verified to the Rivals Organic route, asking for press screener/episode access, embargo guidance, materials, or redirect; no stale WDM Rivals Draft remained in Drafts.

Nia supplied historical/candidate accreditation URL `https://frightfest.co.uk/Halloween2023/press.html`; Louise CLI verification returned HTTP 403, so current-year/manual/browser verification is still needed before treating it as live.

Nia approves exact public YouTube comments/pins and exact Reddit/forum posts/comments each week; account login/2FA remains Nia-only.

Email scan found Wanji expressed interest in Venice but did not specify exact attendance dates; La Biennale source verified the 83rd Venice International Film Festival runs 2–12 Sep 2026, so those dates are prefilled for arrival/departure.

[Louise + Minnie/Samia / OBSCURAE website→social card-approval lane / corrected 2026-07-16] Every OBSCURAE website piece that goes live should surface a social card for Nia approval; do not silently post or skip the card step. Nia flagged on 2026-07-16 that the expected immediate automatic card alerts have not been arriving in chat, so treat the immediate watcher timeline as unreliable until reset/tested. Canva OAuth is not the blocker; local-rendered OBSCURAE-style cards are acceptable. Preferred direction is to fold pending website-card approvals into Minnie/social crossposter as one daily approval batch, using existing queue/assets/digest surfaces. Updated rule from Nia, 2026-07-16: OBSCURAE website/social card approval items are not approvable unless the actual preview image/contact sheet is attached in chat; path-only cards are insufficient. When cards are added to Minnie’s crossposter, the posting caption must @ tag all relevant parties — contributors plus applicable studios, venues, actors, artists, distributors, etc.; each card needs a studio/distributor/production-company handle research pass, and if OBSCURAE received access through a film PR company/publicist/press office, tag that PR company too where a public handle exists. If no public handle is applicable/found, record that research note before approval/posting. Existing watcher cron `b852cce2a172` and daily digest cron `83233832e661` remain source surfaces but should be reconciled into the daily crossposter rhythm before relying on them. Nothing posts without explicit approval of the exact card/caption/destination.

Developed streams have paid before; “needs developing” means no payout yet. 2026-07-27 quick-£1k direction: action resale-first cash sprint from existing marketplace inventory; do **not** spend time on £100 script notes/coverage now because Nia says it will take too long. Sponsorship remains a labelled Jade lane; for UMNIA quick sponsor outreach, Nia corrected that Instagram DM/social-route outreach has been strongest, so prep should be IG-DM-first rather than cold-email-first.

Evidence: `projects/side-hustles/summer-income-freedom-docket-2026-07-01.md`; quick sprint `projects/side-hustles/quick-1000-cash-sprint-2026-07-27.md`; UMNIA route note `projects/agent-ops/jade-umnia-instagram-dm-route-note-2026-07-27.md`; Notion export `projects/agent-ops/notion-sync-evidence/get-my-money-up-notion-export-20260701.md`.

[Nia / OBSCURAE social / SBR / draft-only] Make an easy summer social plan for OBSCURAE without filming TikToks. Body in SBR includes: human style guide so posts do not sound AI, article-to-social capsule system, photo-mode/card-led TikTok/Instagram/Threads workflow, weekly roundup/archive pillars, and TikTok workaround because remote posting cannot reliably add sounds. No posting/scheduling without exact approval. SBR page: https://app.notion.com/p/Make-an-easy-summer-social-plan-for-OBSCURAE-without-filming-TikToks-3874146cd4e3812389f6fbc36969eac1.

[Nia / OBSCURAE merch / SBR / approval-gated] Launch all three Film Is Forever crop hoodies (Rainbow, Blurple, Sunbleached) as the first OBSCURAE Summer Collection / Thought Summer promo push. Nia confirmed tagline is “Film Is Forever” and chose all-three-first on 2026-06-29. Storefront routing note corrected by Nia 2026-07-17: no more Printify switch; current promo/store cleanup should work from the existing shop setup, and no traffic/promo should point at incomplete/stale pages until exact final copy/assets/destination are approved.

[Minnie / OBSCURAE merch-store / Gabriel finance tracking / recurring monthly / Printify superseded 2026-07-17] Earlier Printify probe/QA remains historical evidence only; Nia corrected “no more Printify switch” on 2026-07-17, so active work is current-store visual QA/promo readiness, Gabriel-linked item finance tracking, and approved Summer Collection promotion from the existing shop setup. Gabriel Silva collection finance tracking continues via the recreated one-page Google Sheet; recurring monthly workflow now updates the one-page Sheet on the 1st, pushes a Draft-only Gabriel statement, and reports the amount owed to Nia. Fourthwall MCP is authorised/readable in Minnie; recent order/report pulls can identify Gabriel-linked items without customer data. Live store actions, payouts, customer/order actions, and live email sends remain approval-gated. 2026-08-01 July sync completed: $9.76 Gabriel share; Sheet updated; Draft pushed/verified.

[Nia / Data Triage / SBR / duplicate-merge approved / local note 2026-07-08] Data Triage. Nia reconfirmed duplicate Data Triage rows should be merged; current added sub-plan is durable Hermes access to approved social accounts via API/OAuth and rotating all API keys. Walkthrough captured with approval boundary: inventory first, pause dependent automations, rotate one platform at a time, verify read-only/new token before revoking old keys; no OAuth consent, production posting permission, or key revocation without Nia login/approval.

[Minnie / IMDbPro / correction blocker] Kitchen Sink short-title pages processed and detailed cast/crew credit edits submitted for confirmed shorts; Talia Chandrruangphen included as makeup on every Kitchen Sink short; interstitials/epilogues do not count as separate IMDb titles. **Correction needed:** What's the Tale, Nightingale? currently has Lulu Deng/Ruth on duplicate IMDb person `nm18625898`; correct/merge into existing Lulu Deng `nm13786453`. Live correction attempt 2026-06-24 was blocked because IMDb returned 403 in both Browserbase and local Chrome, including sign-in/contribution pages. 714 parent web-series, parent-level credits/metadata, E1/E2/E3 episode containers, and E1/E2/E3 episode-level credit edits are submitted. Remaining follow-up: submit Lulu correction from a non-blocked IMDb session, then wait for IMDb processing/approval and check whether any 714 episode credits are rejected or need correction.
