Open tasks
| # | Task | Status | Shipped in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 038 | The source watch is slow to open in the browser: with no app, the official UI decrypts the folder tree (2,678 objects) before it shows anything; from this sandbox that took 17 minutes. A small vault app that reads index/ and state/ first, or a lighter front vault, would open it in seconds | open | |
| 050 | Serve the source watch's latest snapshot of the feeds browsers cannot read (php.net, NCSC, CISA advisories, the press) to the viewer | open | |
| 076 | Run the source watch hourly: today it runs by hand in a session; a scheduled run needs the vault key held by the runner, never in a repository | open | |
| 077 | Discovery across languages: Google News answers a cloud browser with 'Sorry' after a burst, so the publishers it surfaces are mapped but not followed; Bing carries article addresses but only for the query 'php2shell' | open | |
| 102 | Source watch: before scheduling the next pass, check London time and move a pass in the quiet hours to 07:04; a pass that changes something leaves a dated article with run: <run id> | open |
What they have done
- Published the source watch with its read key, its taxonomy and graphs at four altitudes (v0.2.13).
How to reach them
