Hermes Task Zero

[Nia + Minnie / OBSCURAE social-card execution / partially blocked] **Cross-lane dependency, surfaced from Louise editorial:** the automatic approved-card worker completed on 6 Sep, leaving four current, research-complete cards without receipts. *Pressure* failed before publication: Meta OAuth is invalidated (190/460), and TikTok/Buffer has no verifiable post ID, final `sent`/`error:null` readback, or external link. No public post occurred. Re-authenticate/read back the routes before retrying *Pressure* only; do not batch-retry. The remaining one-item jobs are armed: *honeyjoon* Sat 12 Sep 10:00 BST, *Blue Film* 15:00, and *Practical Magic 2* 20:00.

[Jade / weekly £1k sponsor close board / paid-first reply watch reconciled 2026-09-03 / draft-only] Fresh read+unread six-folder reconciliation (2–3 Sep) found no human paid yes/maybe/no, closeable brief, actionable sponsorship route, Jade-specific bounce, active Jade-alias Draft or new Jade Sent-state change. No fresh prospect passed the paid-close gate plus a safe verified commercial route, so no prospect/Draft was padded in. Conditional paid-close paths only: UMNIA — Rhode, House of Sunny, Jaded London; Amy — Tilta → JJ, RØDE/Source future, Arda Wigs; Dani — ISAMAYA, Blend Bunny, Terra Moons. No creator has a qualified £1k opportunity or confirmed deal. Refilled via PLAY LAB remains parked as gifting-only/incompatible haircare. Monos/Away/Sézane/Collective Arts/Sipsmith wait; Dishoom relationship-only; Snag/Pentire/Three Spirit/BAO park; Porter needs non-media commercial research. Retain only Beauty Bay, Caudalie, Kobo and Zavvi (social-only) repairs; BoxLunch stays parked. Rough Trade Books/Innerlather remain reporting/credit first. Ex Why Zed remains terms-blocked pending Nia-approved non-binding inventory/terms. Current UMNIA Insight and Amy/Dani analytics receipts are needed before reach-specific paid-package language.

[Nia + Film / Kitchen Sink IMDb / SBR / blocked 2026-09-23 / secure-login prerequisite] Update every Kitchen Sink IMDb short-title page: reconcile all eight titles against final sources, correct Lulu Deng’s duplicate person page, and add the current *Lie with Her* credits. On 23 September 2026, the Film session reached the authenticated-title-editor gate and Amazon’s IMDb sign-in form, but this headless Discord session has no saved Amazon/IMDb credential and cannot request one securely. **No contribution/public update was made.** Add the contributor login through Desktop → Settings → Passwords & Logins (or `hermes vault add`) for `https://www.amazon.com`, then resume the recorded pass.

[Nia + Film / Kitchen Sink social releases / live-caption correction blocked 2026-09-10] Two live *Lie with Her* Instagram posts need DOP credit **@the.taylorwu** added: Reel `https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcwZCGpkup2/` and poster carousel `https://www.instagram.com/p/DdCV6X2gnPS/`. Both source captions are corrected. The configured Graph token publishes/reads but does not permit existing-caption edits; owner UI login is required to edit the two live captions, then re-read both posts. BTS remain due Fri 11 Sep; Frame.io source is captured but its individual photos are not yet enumerated.

[Nia + Minnie / Kitchen Sink interstitial crosspost / TikTok scheduled; Instagram retry pending 2026-09-13] **TikTok staged:** Nia approved the existing Buffer composer’s unrelated Draft discard; *Ezekiel* was then staged with its 1920×1080 safe video and scheduled to `@kitchensink__` via Buffer’s `Next Available` action. Buffer readback moved `@kitchensink__` from 3 to **4 scheduled posts** (overall Publish count 6 → **7**); this is a schedule receipt, **not** a public-post receipt. **Instagram access is repaired and verified** but no retry/public post is claimed: the direct poster invocation was blocked by the host’s gateway-safety guard before it executed. **A Quick Correction** remains suppressed because its source is silent. Evidence: private token `projects/social-video-crosspost/instagram-token-kitchensinkobscurae.json`; initial failure `projects/social-video-crosspost/reports/kitchensink-interstitial-crosspost-20260913T170900Z.json`; staged safe asset `projects/social-video-crosspost/kitchensink-interstitial-safe-posts/jmVKw3X0tP8-kitchensink-interstitial-16x9.h264-aac.mp4`.

[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`. 2026-08-17: one additional named United Agents actor-representation Draft was pushed with Spotlight, screen-work sizzle and headshot; official guidance permits one agent-only submission, and server Draft readback verified it is unsent. A second, distinct Draft was then pushed to ITG’s **current official actors-submissions route** with its stated materials (cover email, Spotlight, sizzle, headshot); server-readback verified it is unsent. The Way is captured as an official general-contact route only; school-friend representation is **not** treated as a warm-introduction signal. A no-attachment permission-check Draft was pushed/server-readback verified on 2026-08-17, asking for its correct submissions route and requirements; no materials were sent. Private master audit found 0 The Way records and 30 historical ITG agent records.

[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`.

[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.

[Post / editor routing / current blocker / updated 2026-09-23] **Mustafah → Capsule edit** remains an active proposed route. A separate server-verified Capsule edit enquiry to Lisa at Curiosity Junction states a **£200 budget** and asks availability/turnaround; no email was sent, material shared, hire agreed or spend committed. Mariama is free but inexperienced; retain as a junior/contained-scope option rather than the default complex-edit route. Lore remains capacity-constrained by other projects; do not add new work by default. **Valeria and Chinha are permanently removed from the editor pool**; **Louie remains paused** and must not be chased. 714 omnibus/clips, COVID Conscious Sizzle Notes and the Kitchen Sink sound package remain distinct coverage gaps. Nia approves/sends all outreach and any spend. Evidence: `projects/agent-ops/post-production-editor-routing-2026-07-02.md`; `projects/capsule/drafts-ready/2026-09-23-lisa-curiosity-junction-capsule-edit-enquiry.md`; server Draft sequence `22`.

[Nia + Minnie / Tiny Studios courier sourcing / manual-send decision] **Review/send the Ed Santis update and eCourier scope reply.** Ed’s verified Draft carries Santis Global’s same-day rate card and a short summary: free account, no minimum spend, 24/7 booking, and a sustainable fleet including push bikes, cargo bikes, EAVs and electric vans. The separate eCourier Draft stays threaded and confirms a Borough base, mainly central-London runs, occasional further-afield hard-drive couriering, and expected use of 1–2 times weekly. Both Drafts are server-readback verified (UIDs `8633`, `8634`); **nothing was sent or booked.** Evidence: `projects/obscurae-productions/tiny-studios-couriers-2026-10-01/draft-push-verification.json`.

[Nia + Minnie / paid editing opportunity / manual-send decision] **Review/send the paid vertical-editing opportunity emails to Mustafa, Lore and Lisa.** The potential job is **not guaranteed**: its production team must first approve a vertical reel. The reel may be a permitted cut from other footage or a purpose-made ad-hoc edit; it does not need to carry an existing project credit. The emails ask for availability by **Monday 5 October 2026** and flag possible future work if the first opportunity goes well. Three iCloud Mail Drafts are server-readback verified (UIDs `8630`, `8631`, `8632`); **nothing was sent or committed.** Evidence: `projects/paid-work-applications/vertical-editing-opportunity-2026-10-01/draft-push-verification.json`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE screening access / manual-send decision] **Review/send the We Are Parable press-allocation request for *I Love Boosters*.** The free preview plus Boots Riley Q&A is **Saturday 10 October 2026 at 19:00**; the source says its attendee form is capacity-limited and confirmation is separate. The threaded Mail Draft asks for press places for Umnia and Micah Clarke to create OBSCURAE social-video coverage. **Nothing was sent.** Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/i-love-boosters-press-allocation-2026-10-01.md`.

All five are server-readback verified in iCloud Drafts; **nothing was sent.** Evidence: `projects/agent-ops/receipts/2026-10-01-operational-mail-drafts-verification.md`.

Its public brief requests a CV and covering letter via the official careers route, covering script/book-submission tracking, coverage, research, editorial notes and diary/team administration. A tailored CV PDF and one-page cover-letter PDF are attached to a server-verified iCloud Mail Draft (UID `8597`). **Nothing was sent, submitted or committed.** Evidence: `projects/paid-work-applications/sister-pictures-development-assistant-cover-2026-10-19/README.md`; SBR `3eb4146c-d4e3-8151-9b99-fab73aeb0d53`.

[Nia + Minnie / acting materials / manual-send decision] A server-verified iCloud Mail Draft requests a **Sunday 5 October 2026** slot in BySmilla’s London studio-backdrop test for actors needing updated headshots. It includes the required outfit-check photo and asks for available time slots. The Story states two free edited images, optional purchases and that images may be used for social media/marketing; it does not state payment, duration or full terms. **Nothing was sent and no booking/usage agreement was made. Next action: Nia reviews/sends Draft UID `8577` if happy, then confirms any offered slot and terms herself.** Evidence: `projects/acting-outreach/bysmilla-london-studio-backdrops-2026-10-05/bysmilla-studio-test-application-draft.md`.

[Nia + Film / filmmaker visibility / SBR / Wednesday 30 September 2026 / today / approval-gated] **Complete London Film Club filmmakers’ showcase form.** Review the members showcase and complete the “To be Featured” form if the profile/materials are ready. Verify information before submission; no form submission, public profile change, representation claim or external commitment has been made by Hermes.

[Nia + Minnie / email delivery health / manual-send decision] **Review/send the iCloud CS101 delivery-block Draft.** Two 26 September one-to-one late-interest emails — Paramount and Element Pictures — were rejected by iCloud’s local policy (`550 5.7.1 [CS101]`) at the end-of-message stage, so it is not safe to retry either expired-role email. One verified unsent replacement Mail Draft to Apple’s supplied admin route requests outbound-policy review; **nothing was sent.** Evidence: `projects/paid-work-applications/late-interest-portfolio-links-2026-09-26/icloud-cs101-review-request-verification-2026-09-30.json`; Draft UID `8564`.

[Nia + Minnie / paid acting casting / manual-send decision] A server-verified iCloud Mail Draft applies to SATA Studios for the **Linklaters short-form social campaign**, seeking actors to play university students. The supplied casting call lists a **London shoot on Thursday 1 October 2026, 09:00–18:00**, with **£200** stated; no application deadline or usage/travel terms were shown. The Draft includes Umnia’s age 29 / playing age 20–33, current Spotlight route and headshot, while avoiding an unverified availability commitment because the shoot overlaps the existing Tiny Studios workday. **Nothing was sent and no booking/work commitment was made. Next action: Nia reviews/sends Draft UID `8554` manually if the timing is workable.** Evidence: `projects/acting-outreach/sata-linklaters-student-social-campaign-2026-10-01/sata-linklaters-casting-application.md`; `projects/acting-outreach/sata-linklaters-student-social-campaign-2026-10-01/draft-push-verification.json`.

The screening is **Thursday 1 October 2026** (arrivals **18:00**, film **18:30**; West End venue TBC), with RSVP requested by **end of Wednesday 30 September 2026**. It is an interest check, not an assignment: volunteers are asked for an angle/format and realistic turnaround. **Nothing was sent. Next action: Nia manually reviews/sends Draft UID `8553` today, then confirm the selected attendee with the source route.** Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/verity-multimedia-london-contributor-forward-2026-09-29/verity-london-contributor-forward.md`; `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/verity-multimedia-london-contributor-forward-2026-09-29/draft-push-verification.json`.

It uses Umnia’s current Spotlight route for the showreel/materials, states age 29 / playing age 20–33, and attaches the current headshot. **Nothing was sent and no booking/work commitment was made. Next action: Nia reviews and manually sends Draft UID `8535` if happy.** Evidence: `projects/acting-outreach/levile-comedic-actors-social-shoot-2026-10-01/levile-casting-application.md`; `projects/acting-outreach/levile-comedic-actors-social-shoot-2026-10-01/draft-push-verification.json`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE screening access / manual-send decision] A concise, server-verified Mail Draft now asks the current DDA title route whether OBSCURAE can be accommodated at an upcoming *The Social Reckoning* press screening, or considered for an alternative screening/screener if capacity is full. A prior information request to The Multiple Agency was manually sent on **1 September 2026**, but no direct title thread with the current DDA handler was found. **Nothing was sent. Next action: Nia manually reviews/sends the Draft if happy, then monitor for screening, screener, embargo/materials or redirect guidance.** Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/the-social-reckoning-poppy-warren-screening-availability-2026-09-29.md`; `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/the-social-reckoning-poppy-warren-screening-availability-verification-2026-09-29.json`.

[Nia + Minnie / paid-work application / Production / manual-send decision] A server-verified iCloud Mail Draft applies for Sunset+Vine’s London Production Assistant support role for its central Production Management and Prime Video core teams. It attaches Umnia’s Production Assistant/Producer CV and includes the live producing-portfolio link. The supplied route states a deadline of **end of Sunday 27 September 2026**, although an external index flags the job as potentially delisted; no late/duplicate contact should be attempted beyond this exact draft. **Nothing was sent and no availability or work commitment was made. Next action: Nia reviews/sends Draft UID `8467` manually if she wants to try the supplied route.** Evidence: `projects/paid-work-applications/sunset-vine-production-assistant-2026-09-26/sunset-vine-production-assistant-application.md`; `projects/paid-work-applications/sunset-vine-production-assistant-2026-09-26/draft-push-verification.json`.

Olympus is test/personal use only — do not rely on it for essential coverage until its test roll is checked. Per Nia’s correction, the former six day-docket events remain deleted; this is the separately requested LCE hold. Nia is already in Covent Garden.

A server-verified iCloud Mail Draft, addressed to the official recruitment route with the required subject, includes a **two-page CV** and **one-page covering letter**. It applies for the role and also offers freelance/fixed-term event, Awards or operations support if WFTV needs a different permanent experience profile. The cover letter is candid that direct delivery has chiefly been London-based and Umnia has not formally line-managed a regional events team. **Nothing was sent, no Equality and Diversity Form was completed, and no external commitment was made. Next action: Nia reviews/sends the current Draft before the deadline.** Evidence: `projects/paid-work-applications/wftv-awards-regional-events-producer-2026-09-25/README.md`; iCloud Draft UID `8429`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE screening access / manual-send decision] Read-only all-folder mail audit confirms the original *East of Eden* advance-viewing/access query was manually sent to the title team on **4 September 2026**. Sophie Revell’s **21 September 2026** Organic photo-alert is the freshest named title contact; no screener/access confirmation was found.

Server read-back verifies the intended Umnia sender, recipient, subject, body and thread linkage. **Nothing was sent.** Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/east-of-eden-sophie-revell-screener-access-2026-09-25.md`.

Server read-back verifies the Draft as UID `8406`; **nothing was sent.** A dedicated local media-kit route, `/portfolio/events-cv`, is built and production-build verified. It uses only relevant event/production evidence: Tiny Studios branded-content Production Assistant work; film-culture event/festival operations; Art/Film BFI panel/afterparty event support; *The Release* producer work; and *Kitchen Sink — Interstitials* producer/director/writer work. It deliberately excludes the magazine’s editorial work. **The canonical page is now live and verified at `https://mediakit.obscurae.co.uk/portfolio/events-cv` (HTTP 200). The Organic Awards Mail Draft was replaced with the live URL; server read-back verifies one current Draft, UID `8406`, and confirms the superseded old-link Draft was expunged. Nothing was sent.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE screening access / manual-send decision] The Organic/MUBI invite for *Making Marie Antoinette* on **Monday 21 September 2026** was not RSVP’d or added to Calendar; Nia’s Darlington→London train was scheduled to arrive after the 18:00 start. A threaded, server-verified Mail Draft now asks whether another press screening is planned or whether advance viewing/screener access and embargo guidance are available. **Nothing was sent.** Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/making-marie-antoinette-alternative-screening-follow-up-2026-09-24.md`.

The draft positions Umnia’s cinematic stills, event coverage and short-form BTS as editorial/documentary red-carpet coverage, and asks for routing to the appropriate PR/events/accreditation contact if LondonPremieres does not commission directly. **No email or DM was sent or added to Mail. Next action: Nia approves the exact copy and route before any Draft creation or outreach.** Evidence: `projects/paid-work-applications/drafts/2026-09-24-londonpremieres-red-carpet-film-photography-pitch.md`; supplied Instagram profile capture.

[Nia + Film / OBSCURAE Productions / LFF networking / manual-review and send decision] The authenticated LFF delegate directory was exported from all **92** pages to a private project-local CSV and SQLite database. The live directory showed **2,204** delegates during retrieval; the pagination export contains **2,205** rows (with **7** exact duplicate records retained/reported). A slate-fit pass checked **41** UK/Irish production-company audit rows, found **8** exact delegate matches across **7** companies, and prepared **6** personalised LFF coffee/meeting drafts for role-appropriate contacts. Each includes the OBSCURAE slate URL; no email was sent or pushed to Mail. **Next action: Nia reviews the six local drafts and explicitly approves any exact recipients/copy for Mail Draft creation/manual send.** Private contact data remains only in `projects/obscurae-productions/lff-2026-delegate-directory-2026-09-23/`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE screening access + contributor coordination / manual-send decision] Organic confirmed the *Fatherland* preview screening for **Thursday 24 September 2026**, arrival **18:00 BST** for a **18:30 BST** start, and confirmed that a **+1 is welcome** (attendee name still needed). The Calendar event remains read-back verified for **18:00–21:00 BST** (end time estimated). A new server-verified Bcc Draft asks the **10** current active London contributors whether anyone would like to attend with Nia; it is an availability check, not an assignment. Nothing was sent. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/fatherland-rsvp-plus-one-2026-09-23/draft-push-verification.json`; `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/fatherland-plus-one-london-contributor-call-2026-09-23/draft-push-verification.json`; `projects/obscurae-magazine/email-triage/fatherland-calendar-receipt-2026-09-23.json`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE LFF contributor coordination / manual-send decision] A server-verified Bcc forward of Yung Kha’s **“BFI London Film Festival 2026 — Three Documentary Premieres”** email is ready for the confirmed active LFF cohort (**3** recipients). The original message is attached; the note asks for title/angle, access needs and turnaround, and makes clear this is an interest check rather than an assignment. Nothing was sent. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/lff-three-documentary-premieres-forward-2026-09-23/draft-push-verification.json`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE LFF editorial access / manual-send decision] Replaced the single combined LFF Press draft with **8 individual, server-readback verified Mail Drafts** for Wanji Hartig’s interview priorities: *Artificial*, *The Debut*, *Ink*, *Fatherland*, *Gentle Monster*, *The Blood Countess*, *The Face of Horror* and *Petrolheads*. Inbox/Sent/Drafts context was checked first: *The Debut* uses the existing WDM title team; *Fatherland* uses the existing Organic title team; the other drafts explicitly request the correct LFF/title publicist where a title-specific inbound route was not found. Every draft includes the verified OBSCURAE press kit and has **Wanji copied**. The superseded combined LFF Press Draft was removed; **nothing was sent**. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/lff-2026-wanji-individual-pr-enquiries-2026-09-29/draft-push-verification.json`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE LFF contributor coordination / manual-send decision] A server-verified Bcc Mail Draft asks the current confirmed LFF cohort plus Josiah, Micah and Lewis who can capture **photos, video or both** at LFF events. It asks about comfortable kit (including phone), preferred event types and festival availability, and makes clear this is a capability check rather than an assignment. **Six** Bcc recipients; nothing was sent. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/lff-event-photo-video-content-plan-2026-09-23-verification.json`.

[Nia + Minnie / Capsule / post-production source recovery / manual-send decision] Dylan’s completed script-supervisor/continuity notes are **not in the accessible Capsule Call Sheet + Documents**: the `Script Supervisor` tab contains only blank template headers. Drive audit found Dylan as a writer only on this Sheet, whose revision history has no Dylan edits; the original `.xlsx` link from his 9 June access request now returns not found. A server-verified iCloud Mail Draft now asks Dylan for the notes, explaining that Umnia is finding Capsule clips for her reel and wants to remember the takes she liked. **Next action: Nia manually reviews/sends the Draft, then await Dylan’s original notes/export or the correct link.** Evidence: `projects/capsule/01-ACTIVE-TASKS.md`; `projects/capsule/drafts-ready/2026-09-23-dylan-capsule-scripty-notes-request.md`; server Draft sequence `22`.

[Nia + Film / Secrets Worth Sharing / post-production + release planning / agreement review and production dependencies] Sophia meeting recap **and Lore edit-support/quote enquiry** are server-verified iCloud Mail Drafts. Confirmed working scope: **£1,000** total for one 16:9 documentary plus **8** vertical social reels; Umnia is Director / Creative Director and Lore is Editor; rough cut target **3 November 2026** after the expected mid-October conference footage. Lore’s total fee is **£240**: **£120 upfront**, **£60 on delivery of the eight reels**, and **£60 on delivery of the final documentary**. Official Companies House research now identifies the Client as **SECRETS WORTH SHARING CIC** (company number 15755545), acting through Director Sophia Xuan Luu; its registered office is populated in the three-party Google Docs working agreement. Docs API read-back verifies the client/payment details, Lore’s signed-NDA confirmation, local-only Qwen/Ollama transcript disclosure, highest-resolution available `.mp4` delivery via Frame.io, rights/consent, and **equal Client/OBSCURAE co-ownership of Project IP with an irrevocable worldwide OBSCURAE licence to exploit the film without case-by-case Client approval**, subject only to disclosed legal/consent/third-party restrictions. Lore’s two correspondence-address fields are bright red for completion. **Sophia’s 28 September inbound reply (UID `9464`) confirms the £500 payment is processed, footage will arrive after the Thailand conference on 10 October, and Sophia will sign the updated agreement then. Her requested revisions: jointly agreed documentary style, 10-working-day feedback, clear music responsibility, defined footage deletion period, remove the address reminder and agree handling values for sexual-violence material. She also asks for an edit lookbook/treatment before her 12 October–3 November holiday.** The current **unsent** threaded Sophia Draft is UID `8442`; its invoice has the OBSCURAE logo and no local file-path/print footer, and the obsolete unsigned-NDA attachment remains removed. **Lore assembly Brief Draft:** a separate server-readback verified iCloud Draft, UID `8475`, confirms his £120 upfront payment should be with him; directs an assembly of interesting material first; and holds reels until Umnia reviews the assembly and provides timecodes. No footage was attached or transferred by Hermes. **Update 28 September 2026:** the **£500 client prepayment has been received**. **Next action:** complete Umnia and Lore correspondence addresses plus signature dates; review/sign the agreement, confirm Lore has received the **£120 upfront**, then begin the assembly-first edit. No email was sent and no contract was signed; the client prepayment was received, but no Lore payment, public post, festival submission or other external commitment was made by Hermes.

[Nia / SBR / cross-project task intake / no date unless stated] Ten separate live Second Brain Redux tasks were created/read-back verified: **Ask John for 48 Hour Film Project footage**; **Find a new social lead for BFI LFF**; **Post hot pics — Glow Up and Then Let Nobody Hit** (posting approval-gated); **Cancel Prime Business** (Nia confirms the account cancellation); **Get Growing Pains BTS via Frame.io and send iPhone footage** (external sharing approval-gated); **Get UMNIA into the BFI LFF photo pit and media line**; **Book meeting with Julia** (Nia approves any invitation/booking); **24/7 stream**; **Haze Film Fund**; and **Add film-canister cost to Friday’s final Tiny Studios invoice**, dated **Friday 2 October 2026**.

[Nia + Minnie / paid work / film-production outreach / manual-send decision] A server-verified iCloud Mail Draft introduces Umnia to Zero Degree Films via Fyo’s supplied company contact route. It includes the supplied award-winning short, BTS/social-content, TikTok, film-photography and Kitchen Sink links, and proposes a Brighton coffee during **Monday 28 September–Thursday 1 October**. Nothing was sent; no meeting or work commitment was made. Evidence: `projects/paid-work-applications/drafts/2026-09-23-zero-degree-films-introduction.md`; server Draft sequence `17`.

[Nia + Minnie / OBSCURAE contributor coordination / manual-send decision] Josiah coffee is now **rescheduled to Saturday 3 October 2026, 11:00–12:00 BST** at BFI. Google Calendar API read-back under `umnia@obscurae.co.uk` verifies the existing event was updated from the prior Monday 28 September, 17:00 hold; the one-hour finish remains estimated. The three server-side Mail Drafts remain unsent: Josiah’s LFF-accreditation guidance, Wanji’s thank-you, and the Fishbrain forward to the confirmed cohort. No RSVP, ticket or attendance commitment was made. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/email-triage/josiah-coffee-calendar-reschedule-2026-09-25.json`; `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/lff-contributor-followups-2026-09-23/josiah-lff-bfi-5pm-replacement-verification.json`; `draft-push-verification.json`.

It includes verified live production/BTS portfolio and magazine media-kit links. Nothing was sent.

[Film / Kitchen Sink / TMDB media / explicitly approved by Nia] Use the selected official title artwork as the poster for *What’s the Tale, Nightingale?* (TMDB `1773647`). Source asset: `projects/github/mediakit.obscurae.co.uk/public/assets/portfolio/kitchen-sink-whats-the-tale-nightingale/portfolio-still-new.jpg`. Nia explicitly directed Minnie in Discord `#minnie` to send this to `#obscurae-productions` / Film for addition to the TMDB page. **Delivery status:** the available Discord integration exposes read/thread/admin actions but no send/upload action; the desktop send action was not consented by the tool approval gate. Film should upload the supplied asset and read back the TMDB poster once the handoff is delivered.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE screening access / manual-send decision] A threaded server-side Draft replies to the BUNKER LFF/release announcement, confirms OBSCURAE is keen to cover it during the festival, and requests film preview plus interview opportunities with Florian Zeller, cast or wider crew. Headers, thread chain and body were read-back verified; nothing was sent. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/bunker-ruweyda-lff-interest-2026-09-22/draft-push-verification.json`.

Each includes the original source as an `.eml` attachment and asks for format/angle, access needs and turnaround; neither is an assignment. The incorrect Babystar/Child Influencer Project Draft was removed before the corrected replacement. Nothing was sent.

A separate concise server-side Mail Draft asks Josiah whether he wants/is covering LFF with OBSCURAE and whether he is free for coffee on Monday 28 September. Nothing was sent.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE contributor coordination / manual-send decision] A concise server-side Mail Draft asks Suhaila whether she is pursuing *Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother* interviews herself or would like OBSCURAE to push from its side, avoiding duplicated outreach. Draft headers/body and sender were read-back verified; nothing was sent. Local backup: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/suhaila-ymymym-interview-options-2026-09-17.md`.

The screening is **Sat 26 Sep, 12:00–15:00 BST** and is created/read-back verified in Google Calendar (`umnia@obscurae.co.uk`).

[Nia + Film / All of Our Demons / funding-submission prep / approval-gated] Local-only script breakdown and fund-submission pack are being prepared for WFTV, First Flights and the Vimeo archive. The supplied September screenplay is 13 PDF pages: within WFTV’s 15-page and First Flights’ 30-page stated caps; over Vimeo’s historical 12-page narrative cap. **WFTV strategy (26 Sep): make *All of Our Demons* the primary application because its £47,850 working plan genuinely needs a WFTV-scale package; *Luna* is the only credible second project, contingent on a clear full-package use plan; do not spend a WFTV slot on 6-page / £13,640 *Doom*.** WFTV’s current public page gives a 5pm Mon 5 Oct 2026 deadline, subject to required team eligibility/membership/entity confirmations and author-owned proposal text; First Flights dates need live-form confirmation. No application, account creation, fee/payment, upload, submission, rights declaration or external contact is authorised. A server-verified iCloud Mail Draft to a prospective producer is ready for Nia’s manual review/send; nothing was sent and no producer commitment exists.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE screening access / two server Mail Drafts ready / manual-send decision] *Extra Geography*: concise **threaded** follow-up is ready to the original Vertigo press route after the 23 Jul manually sent access request received no reply. *Sacrifice* (Romain Gavras / Netflix): a new UK press/screener-route enquiry is ready to the known Netflix UK & EMEA film-publicity route; the currently official Netflix release information covers the US and France, so the Draft asks for a UK route rather than assuming one. Both server Drafts are read-back verified from `umnia@obscurae.co.uk`; Hermes sent nothing.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE screening coverage / replacement contributor + RSVP decision] Anike Aliu withdrew from all in-person LFF coverage on 21 Sep (remote screeners remain welcome), so she is no longer available for the Thu 24 Sep *FILIPIÑANA* screening. The prior Anike-named RSVP Draft must **not** be manually sent; identify a replacement contributor before preparing/replacing an RSVP. A threaded acknowledgement Draft to Anike is server-verified and unsent.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE horror contributor coordination / Mail Draft ready / manual-send decision] One consent-based server Mail Draft asks the five current active horror/genre correspondents whether they want to opt into a small WhatsApp brainstorm group for spooky-season coverage. It requests a reply confirming the best WhatsApp number and makes clear that this is optional, not an assignment commitment. Nia/Umnia may review/send it manually; Hermes sent nothing.

[Nia + Minnie / paid-work applications / casting / manual-send decision] Two distinct, new iCloud Mail Drafts are server-readback verified for Rose Waite Studio’s paid UK tech-commercial calls: `Creative Professional (UK)` and `Young Adult (UK)`. Each is correctly addressed to the supplied casting route and includes a current headshot. Both calls state a one-week filming window between mid-October and 2 November, with London/on-set and local-neighbourhood self-shoot days. No email was sent and no work commitment was made.

The confirmation says tickets are non-transferable: choose a replacement attendee first, then Nia manually asks/confirms with the official RSVP route whether the named transfer is accepted. No email, RSVP, assignment or attendance commitment was made by Hermes. SBR `3eb4146c-d4e3-812b-857d-ce0c3c6a18f0`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE LFF editorial / Anike Global South op-ed series pitch / remote-only awaiting reply] Anike’s LFF focus was confirmed as foreign films from the Global South (manual Sent reply, 4 Sep), but she has **not yet supplied an op-ed pitch**. On 21 Sep she withdrew from all in-person LFF coverage but remains available for screeners; retain this as a remote-only pitch/commission possibility. A threaded server-side Mail Draft asks for a short first-op-ed pitch and a viable recurring cadence (LFF opening piece + occasional festival/release dispatches); it is verified and unsent. Await Nia’s manual send, then Anike’s pitch before commissioning or assigning copy.

[Nia + Minnie / OBSCURAE Instagram → TikTok / approval-gated candidate queue] **Trigger phrase:** `insta crosspost`. When Nia uses it, pull/stage recent public OBSCURAE Instagram feed/Reel candidates; if originals are unavailable, use `yt-dlp` as the explicit fallback. Surface a numbered `#minnie` approval list for TikTok @obscurae; no public post/schedule occurs until Nia approves the exact candidate. Photo/carousels must use individual source images; active retrievable Stories are included and visibly labelled as time-sensitive `STORY` candidates. Preserve per-source reject/skip suppression and verify target TikTok receipt before marking posted. Evidence/spec: `projects/social-video-crosspost/INSTA-CROSSPOST-WORKFLOW.md`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE editorial curation / active] **Superseding the scrapped physical Issue 01:** build a digital end-of-year **Ones to Watch**, not a book/product. No print quote/proof/order, Fourthwall listing/presale, contributor reprint deal/30–70 profit-share, or print-asset permissions outreach will proceed. **Final curation locked 2026-09-23:** unranked core five — Sophy Romvari / *Blue Heron*; Kaniehtiio Horn / *Seeds*; Ariane Louis-Seize / *Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person*; Dylan Clark / *Storytime* / *Portrait of God*; Jérémie Périn / *Mars Express*. *Uiksaringitara (Wrong Husband)* is an essential Canadian-cinema recommendation, not a formal One to Watch.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE TIFF 2026 remote coverage / 9 personal follow-up/route Mail Drafts ready / manual-send decision] Umnia’s 20 selected TIFF titles were matched to the live TIFF publicity/screener contact sheet; the original 20 request Drafts were manually sent outside Hermes. On 2 Sep, Louise reconciled Umnia’s 11 self-assigned titles: five threaded silent-title follow-up Drafts plus current-route Drafts for *Clarissa*, *Ken Russell’s The Devils* and *Bitter Christmas* are server-verified; a blank-recipient *Ben’Imana* UK-route Draft is ready because no public recipient-level publicity route was found. *La Bola Negra* and *Musk* redirects were already manually pursued, so no duplicate was added.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE French Film Festival London coverage / Mail Draft + assignment letter ready / manual-send decision] Lucie has spoken with organisers; Embassy press contacts manage London sessions. A threaded response Mail Draft to Lucie with her DOCX assignment letter attached is server-verified. Nia/Umnia may review/send it; Lucie can cc Umnia in when contacting the press team. No access/accreditation is yet confirmed. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/lucie-french-film-festival-2026/`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE social post / photo-only direction / approval-gated] BLUE FILM card concepts were rejected by Nia on 2026-08-13. Use the existing film still as the post image only, with the release announcement in the caption; rejected review Draft removed from Mail Drafts. Caption review/explicit live-post approval still required. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/social-promo/blue-film-new-release-2026-08-13/`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE One Night Only / direct Universal Mail Draft ready / manual-send decision] Direct Universal-originated multimedia screening signal received for Monday 17 August. A direct screening/review-access Mail Draft for Ella/OBSCURAE is now server-verified to the Nia-supplied Universal contact; it asks about screening availability, screener/review access, materials and embargo guidance. Nia/Umnia may manually review/send if happy. Existing general Universal request was already manually sent 23 July; Hermes sent nothing. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/one-night-only-mayran-access-2026-08-13-verification.json`.

[Louise / OBSCURAE social-card live execution / scheduled with Nia approval] Six researched and Nia-approved cards are scheduled to publish to Instagram @obscuraemedia and TikTok @obscurae: *The Last House* Tue 20:00 London; *Hellcat* Tue 22:00; *Primetime* Wed 10:00; *Lesvia* Wed 12:00; *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* Wed 14:00; *Sonic Journeys Weekender* Wed 16:00. One-shot cron jobs: `371388cd00f0`, `995bcc414e50`, `4b5844c06b52`, `75475ae93ca9`, `49df2c07de51`, `fd9348de8df3`. Verified: 2-hour minimum gap and max four cards on Wed. Each job must return a platform receipt; failures need review, never blind retry. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/reports/card-tag-research-batch-2026-08-11.md`.

[Jade / sponsorship outreach / Mail-state reconciled / reply watch] **24 Aug correction:** current Mail Drafts contains **0 active Jade-alias sponsor Drafts**. The five former addressed route-ready rows (Guru Makeup Emporium, TILT Professional Makeup, Bubblebee Industries, theprintspace and Photo Book Cafe) now have Deleted-Messages copies and no current active Draft; recent Sent reconciliation found no matching Sent evidence for those five. The prior 34 blank-recipient route-needed rows are also not active. Treat this as a Mail-state change—not a Hermes send—and do not re-append without a newly verified route and a fresh approved ask. Orelia remains manual-sent/wait. Tilta → JJ remains Sent-state/wait; ISAMAYA remains team-forward/wait. The 24-Aug twice-weekly paid-first pass again found no paid human reply, closeable brief, route signal or Jade-specific hard bounce; no fresh candidate cleared the four-part paid-close gate plus verified public commercial route, so no prospect/Draft was padded in. Evidence: `projects/agent-ops/jade-daily-sponsor-maintenance-2026-08-24.md`; `projects/agent-ops/inbox/jade-daily-sponsor-maintenance-2026-08-24.json`; `projects/agent-ops/jade-twice-weekly-paid-first-sponsor-build-2026-08-24.md`; `projects/agent-ops/inbox/jade-twice-weekly-paid-first-mail-audit-2026-08-24.json`.

[Nia + Minnie / UMNIA social video / one final scheduled item / approval-gated manifest workflow] `SOCIAL-INBOX/UMNIA/9th August - Social Video` parsed and prepared: 7 high-resolution 1080x1920 MP4s copied into `projects/social-video-crosspost/intake/umnia-social-video-2026-08-09/`, aesthetic cover JPGs/contact sheet generated, platform brand handles corrected, and cron `c7fcd78844b3` armed every 10 minutes to post only due manifest destinations. Instagram `@umniamusic` is ready via Graph token; Instagram `@obscuraevu` token is now saved in the shared crosspost project and verified, so all local profiles/cron routes that use `projects/social-video-crosspost` can access it without copying secrets. TikTok @umnia_ due catch-up `Short Film 1 — pensive (party on you)` posted/read-back verified 2026-08-14: `https://tiktok.com/@umnia_/video/7673855745544277281`; its original inbox video was deleted after both configured destinations were verified `POSTED`. The only remaining item is `Short Film 2 — Hot Girl Shit (Through the Fire)`, scheduled for 15 Aug at 12:00 London to Instagram + TikTok. Normal logged-in Chrome’s always-open Buffer tab is now a verified sender fallback if the dedicated CDP lane is unavailable. `@obscuraevu` story share remains manual. Evidence: `projects/social-video-crosspost/intake/umnia-social-video-2026-08-09/schedule-report.md`; `projects/social-video-crosspost/intake/umnia-social-video-2026-08-09/schedule-state.json`; runner `projects/social-video-crosspost/scripts/umnia_social_video_manifest.py`; Buffer bridge `projects/social-video-crosspost/scripts/buffer_chrome_cdp.py`; cron `c7fcd78844b3`.

[Nia + Minnie / UMNIA social video / scheduled 16–22 Aug / manifest-approved] `SOCIAL-INBOX/UMNIA/Fri 14th August 2026` parsed and staged: 7 high-resolution videos have their own intake assets, captions, thumbnail contact sheet and per-destination state. *On hot girl summers* Instagram is live/read-back verified: `https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcGTqVIEteu/`; its TikTok remains `SCHEDULED` in Buffer without an external-link receipt, so it is not claimed posted. **Days left in the year is now fully posted**: Instagram `https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcI4eKekisN/`; TikTok `https://tiktok.com/@umnia_/video/7674976351597727009`, verified Buffer `sent` with external link after Nia’s explicit 17 Aug catch-up instruction. Its original Social Inbox file was deleted only after both destinations reached `POSTED`; staged high-resolution asset and receipts remain. Dedicated `admin-social` Buffer CDP lane (`9225`) is live and its exact `@umnia_` TikTok Buffer channel was re-verified 2026-08-21 as connected/unlocked; the CDP bridge now self-recovers from a frozen Buffer target by opening a fresh dedicated-lane tab. The three held TikTok legs passed non-mutating recovery dry-runs; their remaining hold is Nia’s catch-up timing decision, not authentication. Each live run still requires `sent` + external-link readback before `POSTED`. All seven Instagram legs are now read-back verified `POSTED`. **Starburst eyeshadow** is posted to Instagram (`https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcVwm1XCKX7/`) and TikTok (`https://tiktok.com/@umnia_/video/7676810852632186144`); its original inbox source remains retained because Instagram Story sharing is still a manual requirement. The TikTok legs for *Liquer*, *Nothing changes*, *On hot girl summers* and *Tradwives* remain `SCHEDULED` without public-link receipts and are not claimed live. Evidence: `projects/social-video-crosspost/reports/umnia-approved-tiktok-catchup-20260817T122932Z.json`; `projects/social-video-crosspost/intake/umnia-social-video-2026-08-14/schedule-state.json`; `schedule-report.md`; `umnia-20260814-thumbnail-contact-sheet.jpg`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE Sonic Journeys coverage report + Ruweyda PR follow-up / live page + Mail Draft replaced / manual send decision] Sonic Journeys Weekender media-kit coverage page is live at `https://mediakit.obscurae.co.uk/coverage/sonic-journeys-weekender` and verified 200 after Vercel deploy + approved alias move. Threaded Ruweyda/Organic Mail Draft was replaced 2026-08-09: individual article/social/programme links were consolidated into the verified coverage-report URL plus media-kit reach link; stale Draft removed; new Draft verified in iCloud Drafts; Hermes sent no email. Social make-good is live: Instagram feed `https://www.instagram.com/p/DbxL7tPApKx/`, TikTok programme promo confirmed manually by Nia/Umnia, plus later Mitski TikToks included on the coverage page. Remaining live action: Nia/Umnia manually review/send the Ruweyda Draft if happy. Evidence: coverage page `https://mediakit.obscurae.co.uk/coverage/sonic-journeys-weekender`; media-kit commit `c19a8f0`; Draft local copy `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/sonic-journeys-ruweyda-coverage-report-replacement-2026-08-09.md`; verification `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/sonic-journeys-ruweyda-coverage-report-replacement-2026-08-09-verification.json`; earlier Ghost/social evidence remains in `projects/obscurae-magazine/social-promo/sonic-journeys-weekender-2026-08-07/`.

[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. Evidence: asset/report folder `projects/obscurae-magazine/press-assets/primetime-2026-08-08/`; feature-image report `primetime-feature-still-update-report-2026-08-08.json`; email draft report `projects/obscurae-magazine/drafts-ready/flagged-primetime-weight-war-bad-day-spa-2026-08-08/draft-push-report.json`; article `https://www.obscurae.co.uk/primetime-robert-pattinson-trailer-uk-ireland-autumn-2026/`; IG `https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbxZGBFCaaB/`; TikTok `https://tiktok.com/@obscurae/video/7671570403495529761`; tracker row: `projects/obscurae-magazine/screening-access/SCREENING-ACCESS-REQUESTS.md`.

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`.

[Nia / paid extra casting / karaoke-bar music video / Mail Draft ready / manual-send decision] Apply for the independent artist’s paid karaoke-bar music video extra call in Kennington on Tuesday 22 September (approximately 13:00–16:00). One exact-recipient iCloud Mail Draft is server-readback verified with a current headshot attached; it uses Spotlight as the sole acting-materials route and accurately says Nia has no formal supporting-artist credits. No email was sent and no work commitment was made. Evidence: `projects/acting-outreach/karaoke-bar-music-video-2026-09-22/draft-push-verification.json`.

[Nia + Film / Kitchen Sink November Letterboxd email / two Draft routes ready / manual-send decision] Letterboxd’s daily ingestion failed to index the otherwise eligible *November* TMDB movie (`1776465`); its documented direct import route now resolves the exact page `https://letterboxd.com/film/november-2026-2/`. Two 40-recipient Bcc iCloud Mail Drafts are ready: the five-film crew-review update (UID `8446`) and, per Nia’s 25 Sep direction, a new **November-link-only** email (UID `8447`, subject `November is now on Letterboxd`). Server readback verifies the standalone Draft has the exact link and 40 Bcc recipients. No email was sent. Evidence: `projects/kitchen-sink/crew-promo-email-system/drafts/kitchen-sink-november-letterboxd-link-only-2026-09-25.md`; `projects/kitchen-sink/TMDB-LETTERBOXD-STATUS-2026-09-21.md`; SBR receipt `projects/agent-ops/notion-sync-evidence/kitchen-sink-november-letterboxd-email-sbr-20260924.json`.

[Nia + Minnie / Kitchen Sink halfway-point trailer / two Mail Draft routes ready / manual-send decision] Nor’s threaded follow-up and Lore’s new availability enquiry are each server-verified in Drafts. Lore has **not** previously been asked about this trailer; the new request makes the no-budget status explicit and carries no expectation of unpaid work. Nia may manually send either/both. Hold materials, timeline, rate and any edit commitment until a reply confirms capacity. Evidence: `projects/kitchen-sink/drafts-ready/nor-halfway-point-trailer-follow-up-2026-09-16.md`; `projects/kitchen-sink/drafts-ready/lore-halfway-point-trailer-enquiry-2026-09-22.md`.

[Nia + Film / Kitchen Sink press release / production-company resend Draft / manual-send decision] **23 Sep user-directed update:** reviewed all 41 supplied UK/Irish production-company names against the live OBSCURAE slate. The Sent folder was audited against the first Kitchen Sink press release and all 44 already-sent overlaps were removed. The sole replacement Mail Draft now contains **8 Bcc recipients; server UID `8203`**: Rocliffe, Flumeri, Erebus, Anti-Worlds, Rendition, Carbon, Luminous Arts and Pipedream. Highest-fit companies requiring tailored development outreach are deliberately excluded from bulk Bcc. No email was sent. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-productions/research/2026-09-23-production-company-slate-fit-audit.md`; `projects/obscurae-productions/drafts/kitchen-sink-press-release-production-company-resend-2026-09-23.md`; IMAP UID `8203`.

[Nia + Film / Kitchen Sink Metro follow-up press release / Mail Draft verified / manual-send decision] The 30 September follow-up press release accurately records Metro’s profile of UMNIA and its contextual mention of *Kitchen Sink*; it explicitly does **not** characterise the article as a review or endorsement. A formatted iCloud Mail Draft is server-verified as UID `8596`, from `team@obscurae.co.uk` to self with **44 Bcc recipients** from the previous Kitchen Sink press-release recipient set, plus the prior logo/still inline. No email was sent. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-productions/drafts/kitchen-sink-metro-mention-press-release-draft-receipt-2026-09-30.json`.

[Nia + Minnie / Kitchen Sink press release / final Draft snapshot / manual-send decision] Nia confirmed the sole current Mail Draft as final. A non-mutating EML + HTML snapshot was saved after the final demographic placement and market-ready slate edits; it verifies EB Garamond, logo/still, direct watch link, 72.5% women/non-binary, 47.5% people of colour, and *Adam for Everyone*’s grounded speculative-sci-fi description. No recipient was set and no email was sent. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-productions/drafts/kitchen-sink-press-release-final-snapshot-2026-09-16/SNAPSHOT-MANIFEST.json`.

[Nia + Minnie / Kitchen Sink short-film opportunity / Roe Magazine Mail Draft ready / manual-send decision] Roe Magazine is accepting original short films for potential distribution on Roe Originals, Roe Magazine and social channels. A concise unthreaded Draft submits the already-public *Coffee & Pie* YouTube link; no rights, exclusivity or use licence has been granted and no email was sent. Before agreeing to any selection, confirm their exact licence, platforms, territories, term and festival impact. Evidence: `projects/kitchen-sink/drafts-ready/roe-magazine-coffee-and-pie-submission-2026-08-18.md`; server Drafts readback: From `umnia@obscurae.co.uk`, To Roe Magazine.

[Nia + Film / Kitchen Sink FilmFreeway setup / approval-gated / captured 2026-09-08] Continue FilmFreeway project setup for *Lie with Her* (project `4417679`: attach verified screener) and prep/create *Coffee & Pie* from verified source materials. No festival entry, fee/payment, rights declaration, public listing change or submission without Nia’s explicit per-action approval. Current FilmFreeway account state is unverified because the dedicated browser CDP endpoint is unavailable. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-productions/PRODUCTION-TRACKER.md`; `projects/kitchen-sink/stills/lie-with-her-hd-2026-09-08/`.

[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. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/reports/social-card-mechanism-fix-2026-07-31.md`; setup doc `projects/obscurae-magazine/social-promo/automated-promo-system/OBSCURAE-AUTOMATED-PROMO-MECHANISM-2026-07-27.md`; queue `projects/obscurae-magazine/social-promo/live-piece-watcher/APPROVAL-TO-POST-QUEUE.md`; digest test `/tmp/obscurae_card_digest_test.txt`; revised contact sheet `projects/obscurae-magazine/social-promo/automated-promo-system/design-mockups/obscurae-automated-social-promo-design-contact-sheet-v2.png`.

[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. Remaining before public completion: release-day public link verification and optional live written-interview URL insertion after approval/publication.

[Nia / Kitchen Sink November colour / SBR / ASAP 2026-07-22] Colour/grade the Kitchen Sink short `November` herself for the 2026-08-02 release now that Helét is unavailable. Hermes can prep QC/reference notes only. No new colourist outreach, file share, payment/hiring commitment, or release change without exact approval. Evidence: `projects/kitchen-sink/email-evidence/helet-colour-availability-scan-2026-07-22.json`; `projects/agent-ops/notion-sync-evidence/kitchen-sink-helet-unavailable-colour-route-20260722.json`; SBR page `3a54146c-d4e3-8155-9953-f6476cef19f5`.

[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. **23 Aug release-state update:** *Lie with Her* picture is locked; no hard response yet from sound or colour. Two fresh Mail Drafts are server-verified: Lore is asked about a contained sound design/mix pass, and Giuseppe is asked whether the grade can fit before the planned Sun 30 Aug release. No email was sent, and no file-share, payment/rate or hiring commitment has happened.

[Nia / Women X / travel + ticket / SBR / Not started / Nia-only booking] Buy Women X filmmaker attendance ticket and sort hotel/train. Hermes can shortlist options or prepare a cost/time comparison, but checkout/payment remains Nia-only. SBR page `3a04146c-d4e3-81a3-b2ed-c050c700914a`; evidence `projects/agent-ops/notion-sync-evidence/rest-2026-plan-tasks-20260717.json`.

[Nia + Louise / OBSCURAE subscription + Ghost-lock workflow / SBR / In progress / approval-gated] Promote/sell OBSCURAE’s existing £5/month buy-the-team-a-coffee subscription **before** doing Sticker/Print Club stock/numbers planning.

Draft pushed/verified 2026-07-22 from `umnia@obscurae.co.uk`; Hermes sent nothing.

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. After a read+unread, multi-folder mailbox reconciliation found no delivered review or newer SNAPSHOT reply, a threaded follow-up Draft to Anike was pushed/verified server-side on 2026-08-17; nothing was sent by Hermes. 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. Kim Petras Draft was replaced again 2026-07-16 to add the live OBSCURAE Magazine media kit plus two verified music-review links. Drafts are not sent by Hermes.

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.

[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. **2026-08-17 eBay optimisation audit completed:** refreshed 116-row Notion reconcile and 76 tracked endpoint availability check; the five prior wig repairs remain recorded as endpoint-verified in their prior evidence, while three live eBay listings have verified inherited/wrong bodies. Nia gave narrow description-only approval for New Look jacket `206370178580`, BOSS sweatshirt `206370177367`, and Madison Michelle blouse `206370178919`. **2026-09-21 preflight blocker:** all three signed-in revise forms pair the intended photos/titles with inherited wrong buyer-visible metadata. New Look jacket is listed as an H&M women’s beige blazer, size 16; BOSS has a women’s button-up/tunic metadata set; Madison has Chaps/beige inherited specifics. Do not save description-only changes that preserve contradictory facts. Need explicit approval for a full factual metadata+description repair, an end/relist, or leaving all unchanged. **Nia approved full factual repairs 2026-09-21, but the desktop-control layer blocked before the first form click because its separate interaction-consent prompt received no response; re-approve that prompt to proceed.** Prices/Best Offer/promotion unchanged. Evidence: `projects/marketplace-reconciler/reports/action_queues/ebay_three-approved-description-repairs-preflight-blocked-20260921.md`. 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. 2026-08-10 Nia approved leaving current eBay wig prices alone while doing description-only edits; Jordan updated and endpoint-verified 5 wig eBay descriptions (`206455840696`, `206455907422`, `206455703809`, `206455848302`, `206455915354`) with Best Offer/promoted listing off and no messages/postage/takedowns/spend; evidence `projects/marketplace-reconciler/reports/action_queues/ebay_5_wig_description_dualsurface_results_20260810.json`. 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 + Film / Secrets Worth Sharing / SBR / festival-plan prep / approval-gated] Prepare festival plan for Secrets Worth Sharing after rough cut/picture lock: confirm premiere eligibility, rights/releases and release window; build a tiered target calendar plus materials checklist.

[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. **2026-10-01 September sync:** sole Gabriel-linked order was cancelled/fully refunded; $0.00 verified payable profit and **$0.00 owed**. The one-page Sheet has the September section (rows 9–10) and current September statement Draft is server-verified as UID `8599`; no payment or external send occurred.

[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.

[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.

[Nia / personal / **before leaving home** / SBR] **Pack Louie’s monogrammed notebook, Jett’s photocard, Olympus Trip 35 and Fuji before leaving home.** Whole Foods: spherical shelled nuts + pickled something for Jett. Run the two rolls to 0, then send both film canisters ASAP. Olympus is test/personal use only until its test roll is checked.

[Nia + Minnie / personal finance organisation / live, needs initial balance] Built the live Notion system under `Finance App / Budgeting`: `Cash Movements` (**14** seeded signed movements), `Forecast Months` (**4** month rows) and `Bank Position` (**1** account record). Four saved views are live: `Forward Forecast`, `Need income`, `Need to pay`, `Settled history`. Only `Planned`/`Expected` rows count toward forecast rollups; moving a row to `Settled` removes it from forward views while retaining it in history. Verified month net figures: October **£178**, November **-£665**, December **£1,325**, January **£2,525**. **Next action: Nia enters her actual current bank balance in `Bank Position`, then adds known dates / marks rows settled as money moves.** Evidence: `projects/personal-ops/finance/notion-cashflow-forecast-receipt-2026-09-23.json`.

[Nia + Film / Secrets Worth Sharing / SBR / Monday 28 September 2026 / today / prep-only] **Prepare Secrets Worth Sharing edit lookbook/treatment.** Starting reference: fast Gen-Z choppy/chaotic energy meets a Netflix-documentary sensibility, with moving photos over voice notes. Keep the editorial form jointly agreed and trauma-informed; no footage edit, delivery, send, publish or external commitment is authorised by this task.

[Nia + Minnie / paid work / Production / scheduled, invoice prep + green crew-airport transfer research ready] Four Tiny Studios Production Assistant calendar events are created/read-back verified on `umnia@obscurae.co.uk`: Thu 24 Sep office **10:00–17:30**; Fri 25 Sep remote/home **TBC**, **09:00–17:30**; **Mon 28 Sep now updated from the source schedule to 08:00–18:30 BST** (crew call 08:00, talent call 08:30, wrap 17:30, hard exit 18:30; original office location retained because the image had none); Tue 29 Sep shoot location **TBC**, **09:00–17:30**. Umnia had confirmed **£200/day** for the initial four days (**£800 base fees**) and that lunch was not provided. The Friday 2 October draft invoice now carries seven stated PA dates (24, 25, 28, 29 and 30 September; 1 and 2 October): **£1,400.00 labour** plus **£18.82 charged expenses** — one £12.50 film roll and a receipted £6.32 local-travel cost — for a **£1,418.82 preview total**. The £13.99 developing cost and second £12.50 film roll remain transparently waived (£26.49 total). The 1–2 October service dates remain confirmation-required until completed. **Do not issue the invoice** until all listed work is complete and payment details/VAT treatment are confirmed. The agreement provides travel reimbursement and lunch reimbursement up to **£15** when not provided; actual costs must be receipted. **For planned crew airport travel, a green pre-book shortlist is ready: Green Tomato primary, Sherbet all-electric black-cab backup and Addison Lee EV/ZEC capacity fallback. Supply airport/terminal, direction, date/time or flight, pickup area, headcount, luggage/equipment, access needs and budget to obtain written fixed-price, vehicle-guaranteed quotes; no quote or booking has been requested.** SBR task remains `Not started`: `Tiny Studios: await Production Assistant update and confirm day-rate terms` (page `3e44146c-d4e3-8156-8206-d9de68a912bd`).

[Nia + Minnie / paid-work applications / active / draft-only] Focus paid-job application support **only** on Colour, Sound, Film Photography and Production work, using the verified portfolio routes in `projects/paid-work-applications/START-HERE.md`. Current leads: House of Douleur colour grader (local email draft ready; choose whether to state a starting/project/day rate); Cupsogue Pictures Production Coordinator for *Under the Watchful Gaze* (tailored evidence/availability check needed); **Fatter Productions 9-minute micro-budget-short colour grader (iCloud Mail Draft, UID `8071`, is ready; completion sought by November)**; Studio B Shoot Director FTC (Nia must personally finalise application answers because Studio B rejects heavily AI-generated submissions).

[Nia + Minnie / OBSCURAE Instagram card backlog / scheduled, cross-lane dependency from Louise] Nia explicitly authorised one current approved editorial card every **2 hours** until the current nine-card backlog clears. Instagram `@obscuraemedia` only: four one-shot jobs on Tue 16 Sep (16:00, 18:00, 20:00, 22:00 BST), four on Wed 17 Sep (10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 16:00 BST), and the final *Fjord* card Thu 18 Sep 10:00 BST. The overnight pause enforces the hard four-cards-per-London-day guard; each job is one card and must return Meta media-ID/permalink verification. TikTok is excluded. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-magazine/reports/instagram-card-backlog-two-hour-recovery-2026-09-16.md`; cron job IDs are recorded in the linked handoff.

[Nia + Minnie / UMNIA + OBSCURAE social video / scheduled / manifest-approved] `SOCIAL-INBOX/UMNIA/3rd Sept` has four verified 1080×1920 MP4s staged one per day: *Autumn* Fri 4 Sep 12:00 London and *Natural Makeup* Mon 7 Sep to Instagram @umniamusic + TikTok @umnia_; *Merch Hoodie* Sat 5 Sep and *Merch Tee* Sun 6 Sep to Instagram @obscuraemedia as collaborator Reels with @umniamusic, plus TikTok @obscurae. Due-poster cron `e02bfaf15f20` was resumed 4 Sep and remains armed every 10 minutes; delivery is local-only so its routine no-op output will not spam Discord. Both destination pairs passed a forced no-write dry run; Instagram @obscuraemedia publish access and the exact unlocked @obscurae Buffer TikTok channel were read back. Original inbox sources remain until each item has verified `POSTED` receipts for both destinations. Evidence: `projects/social-video-crosspost/intake/umnia-social-video-2026-09-03/schedule-report.md`; state `schedule-state.json`; manifest `SOCIAL-INBOX/UMNIA/3rd Sept/Manifest.txt`.

[Nia + Film / 714 Episode 3 / scheduled Sun 30 Aug 16:00 BST; promo cadence scheduled 25/27/29 Aug] Private upload `1vs2hPCS-Eo` is scheduled for Sunday 30 August at 16:00 BST. Three supplied 9:16 promo clips are staged and explicitly scheduled at 18:30 BST on Mon 25, Wed 27 and Fri 29 Aug to @714thechallenge Instagram + the 714 YouTube channel; each route passed a real identity dry-run. TikTok @714thechallenge is not scheduled: the logged-in Buffer workspace lacks a verified 714 publisher channel, so no wrong-account post was attempted. Chinha’s earlier verified Mail Draft requested three 9:16 clips by Wednesday 26 August. Evidence: `projects/714/promo-intake-2026-08-25/RELEASE-PLAN.md`; scheduled jobs `6eebbbdec811`, `f9cadc9fe2b8`, `96ff45d8956c`; `projects/714/release/ep3-release-prep-2026-08-23/youtube-ep3-schedule-receipt-2026-08-23.json`.

[Jade / sponsorship outreach / 40-row batch sent-state / reply watch] The 10 Aug full batch remains Sent-state/wait-for-reply: UMNIA 10, Dani/Danstistic 10, Amy Trudge and OBSCURAE non-party 10 each. On 14 Aug read+unread reconciliation found no paid reply, sponsor route instruction or repair-worthy Jade bounce. Amy / Tilta → JJ is also now Sent-state/wait-for-reply: the Draft copy is in Deleted Messages with matching Sent evidence dated 13 Aug 14:30 BST from `Jade Rogers <partnerships@obscurae.co.uk>` to the direct marketing contact. This was not sent by Hermes/Jade; do not duplicate. No £1k deal is confirmed.

[Nia + Jade / Ex Why Zed commercial reply / monthly CRM hygiene 2026-08-10 / terms decision] Ex Why Zed Print replied that it is open to collaborations and asks what OBSCURAE would offer for a website placement. Decide whether Jade may prepare a scoped, non-binding placement/inventory reply; no rate, deliverable, commitment or live reply is authorised until Nia approves terms. Lethal Cosmetics is now future-only and MACK Books is removed from paid sponsorship after human declines. Evidence: `projects/agent-ops/jade-monthly-sponsor-crm-hygiene-2026-08-10.md`.

[Nia + Film / producer cold-email pilot / full Kay database qualification in progress] Cold-email wording approved; Kay’s Notion database now has mail-merge enrichment fields and three verified public-route pilot company rows. Five pilot emails were pushed and server-readback verified in Mail Drafts from `umnia@obscurae.co.uk`; none was sent. Nia has now requested a company-by-company fit/route audit of all 616 active Kay records before any expansion. Research-only batches are running; once complete, Nia has approved a Mail Draft merge for the final `STRONG` candidates (the prior `PRIORITY`/`STRONG` gate is narrowed to `STRONG` only). Strong rows passed route-quality control and the current merge is in iCloud Mail Drafts: 18 individual, verified public-email routes have been pushed, each now stating that Umnia found the recipient’s details through Kay’s directory; none was sent. Nia clarified that, where a Kay record has an email, it may be used for a researched good-fit company without a public-route requirement. The remaining 12 final-Strong records have no email in Kay’s record, so they cannot be emailed without a separately sourced/approved route. No live sends are authorised. Evidence: `projects/obscurae-productions/producer-outreach-mail-merge-2026-08-13/notion-enrichment-receipt.json`; `mail-drafts-push-verification.json`; `projects/obscurae-productions/kays-full-contact-audit-2026-08-13/`.

[Nia + Minnie / Commercials / SBR / reference / local prep] Save and reference BTS edit style examples for potential portfolio pack updates (e.g., `Cotrini` BTS edit example from `instagram.com/reel/DHsxgoQiOKw/...` and `Vivienne Sabo` making-of reference).

[Nia + Minnie / acting representation / personalised outreach / prep in progress 2026-09-10] Build a small, named UK acting-agent outreach batch from the current private representation master and official agency evidence. Every email must be genuinely personalised to the agent/list and remain actor-first: Spotlight is the sole materials route; audience is brief additional reach only. Prepare local individual drafts and a review manifest first; no bulk Bcc, live send, or Drafts push until Nia approves the exact recipients. Evidence: Notion shortlist `https://app.notion.com/p/Acting-representation-personalised-outreach-shortlist-3d74146cd4e381d382b9f0159e4c66e1`; receipt `projects/acting-outreach/notion-personalised-agent-outreach-2026-09-10/notion-page-receipt.json`; tracker `projects/agent-ops/acting-casting-agent-outreach/README.md`.

Do **not** create a duplicate title. Add the outstanding confirmed cast/crew credits to this existing pending/publication title once IMDb exposes its public title ID/edit route; hold Kasevishwadip pending public display-name confirmation.

[Nia / paid production work / LSK Productions / Mail Draft replaced 2026-09-08] The earlier Post-Production Coordinator Draft was removed/replaced with a server-verified Draft for LSK’s London **Head of Studio Video Production** role—an end-to-end creative/production leadership fit for Umnia’s director/producer/DOP/creative-lead portfolio. CV and portfolio link attached/included; start is immediate; salary expectation is **£85,000 pro rata**, depending on remit and benefits. No application was sent.

[Louise / OBSCURAE weekly newsletter archive pull / recurring Thursday / Ghost draft-only] Prepare a weekly Thursday Ghost draft pulling 3 relevant OBSCURAE archive/backlog articles for the newsletter based on current events and new releases. Cron `432336c1caf6` now explicitly requires actual Ghost Draft creation/verification, not local-only packs.
