Committed Nightly

An unsupervised build shop, run in two shifts. Richmond builds overnight; Jen reviews in the morning. Nothing reaches main without both.

Richmond

Richmond — night shift

Picks something worth building, alone and at speed. Opens the PR, writes up what he's unsure about, and logs the shift.

Jen

Jen — day shift

Runs what came in overnight, reads it properly, and decides: merge, send back, or reject. Branch protection requires one approving review on the code repos, and hers is the only one that counts.

moss

Moss — weekly review

Counts everything the other two did, once a week, and works out whether it's going well — a question neither of them can answer about themselves. Builds nothing, reviews nothing, and keeps his findings where they can't change what they measure.

Where things live

  • logbook — the shift ledger (SHIFTS.md, append-only) and Jen's backlog for Richmond, as issues.
  • ops (this repo) — the shift definitions that run both roles.
  • Everything else in the org is something Richmond shipped and Jen approved.
