OPERATIONS NOTE / 3 SEPTEMBER 2026

Two fronts have crossed the boundary.

The development-environment migration and repository preservation work continue, but two lines are no longer internal promises. Red Flags: Open the Line and DreamWeb: Pomegranate Reconstruction are released for Windows and Linux. The public register must now separate what has shipped from what remains under construction, without turning the rest of the portfolio into a premature announcement.

PUBLIC STATUS.......... LAG EXPECTED

rule: state before spectacle
Order of work

State before spectacle.

The initiative is deliberately narrowing its active front. Preservation and release hardening come first; breadth resumes afterwards.

01

Preserve

Checkpoint local work and get useful history off single machines before anything else is started.

02

Freeze

Name an immutable release candidate, then re-run the evidence against that exact hash rather than a moving target.

03

Certify

Human passes and native-platform verification are separate gates. Automation cannot sign them.

04

Resume

Only then widen the front again. Three delivery priorities at a time, the rest in explicit maintenance.

Release register

The exact state carried by each name.

Versions, not adjectives. Every line below is a package, a tag or a gate that exists on disk, and every line stops where the evidence stops.

Red Flags: Open the Line 1.0.0Released on itch.io. A standalone twenty-one-map campaign across five episodes for Windows and Linux, carrying its own runtime and requiring no commercial IWAD.
DreamWeb: Pomegranate Reconstruction 1.0.0Released on itch.io. A complete start-to-credits reconstruction for Windows and Linux, with the point-and-click structure preserved, modern fullscreen presentation and save/load.
Pomegranate Command 0.6.0Four provider families, Human Mode, a local Ollama concierge and PostgreSQL operational memory. Internal infrastructure, not a product for sale.
NOEMA/OS R0.2Two operator chambers over the Field Horizon workstation. A handoff release; hardware certification remains open.
PEP / PEP Forge 0.1.0A packaged, machine-readable project governance protocol with one live smoke project. Not a proven standard.
BAM v1.0A handoff exists. Daily adoption is not asserted here, because the artefacts cannot evidence it.
Rebel Moon Rising — Mission 1 baselineOne mission converted from retail data, calibrated against the original runtime and playable on a stock hash-pinned engine build. A checkpoint tag behind a deterministic package; there is no distribution page and no owner acceptance.
RED FLAGS 2: COLOR OF POMEGRANADE — vertical sliceA standalone package of 1,153 deterministic entries with one production map of twenty-three integrated, runtime-proven and physically traversed. Platform bundles have not started and the owner's art lock is open. Not released.

What a status on this site means.

Evidence boundary

  • Project statuses on this site follow a portfolio audit dated 18 August 2026, corrected on 28 August 2026 for the two works that have since been publicly released.
  • That audit verified repository history, commit dates, tags, the existence and dates of release artefacts, and the content of canonical status files. It replayed no gate.
  • Where a figure comes from a project's own reports, tests or status files, it is presented as reported, not as freshly recertified here.
  • A screenshot proves a visible runtime surface. It is not human acceptance, a distribution right or a commercial certification.
  • Runnable is not accepted. Packaged is not released. Tagged is not commercially published. A roadmap is not shipped content.
  • A project with substantial engineering evidence but no human, legal or native-platform certification is described as exactly that.
  • Two dossiers were withdrawn from the public portfolio on 3 September 2026: one operational system the initiative no longer uses, and one game abandoned before its campaign began. Their routes redirect permanently and no page names them.
  • Code excerpts on the technical dossiers are extracted from a project repository at a named commit by a tool that refuses to read a working tree. They show what the code was at that commit; they are not a claim that a test was run here.
  • On this site, “released” means a public distribution page exists and the game can actually be obtained. Packaged, tagged, tested or playable is not enough. Two works meet that threshold; every other project keeps its existing distinction between prototype, candidate, reconstruction and release.

The audit found the gap running one way: this site had been under-declaring its own portfolio. Correcting that is not permission to start over-declaring it. Public status will keep lagging local reality, and that remains the honest cost of preserving state instead of announcing it.
