Weekly Review 2026-W26

A weekly operating note for nhwwnhww.xyz product, automation, and digital garden updates.
Week 26 focused on turning Digital Garden maintenance into a cleaner operating loop: warning cleanup, archived automation candidates, a new edge-cache note, and evidence-bound Codex product notes.
# Weekly Review 2026-W26

## Context

This weekly review covers the current nhwwnhww.xyz Digital Garden maintenance pass on 2026-06-22 plus repository evidence from the last seven days. The strongest local evidence is in the frontend repository: daily garden automation commits, generated run artifacts, checker/publishing script changes, and the current public garden index.

This note does not claim product code changes outside this repository unless the change is already represented by an existing public garden note or automation artifact. Items without direct current evidence are marked Pending or Needs manual review.

## Product Updates

### Trade Management System

- What changed: The public note [[trade-management-system-prototype]] now captures the data-export-center pattern as a product lesson, including CSV downloads, role boundaries, and real API verification.
- Why it matters: The Digital Garden now treats trade management as a business workflow system, not only a prototype idea.
- Next edge: Needs manual review against the trade-management repository before turning these lessons into a deeper evergreen note.

### ETF Portfolio Dashboard

- What changed: [[etf-portfolio-dashboard]] now frames provider status, stale-cache fallback, API-key status, and data freshness as part of the product surface.
- Why it matters: Finance tools should make data quality visible without exposing backend credentials or making private account data public.
- Next edge: Pending direct verification against the finance workspace before adding new implementation claims.

### Photography Archive

- What changed: [[photography-archive-system]] now treats upload defaults, watermark behavior, file-size limits, and worker throughput as part of the archive product.
- Why it matters: The archive is maintained through the whole flow: upload, metadata, image delivery, album display, and recovery.
- Next edge: Connect this to [[future-edge-cache-playbook]] with concrete cache rules for immutable images and mutable album indexes.

### Personal Website / Digital Garden

- What changed: Digital Garden warnings were cleaned up, old automation candidates were marked private archived, and [[future-edge-cache-playbook]] was added as a public seed note.
- Why it matters: The garden now has a cleaner public graph and a better separation between reviewed notes and private automation evidence.
- Next edge: Keep weekly reviews small and evidence-bound so they remain operating notes rather than blog posts.

## Codex Production Loop

- Prompt input: A weekly maintenance instruction for Digital Garden content quality, automation candidates, links, warning cleanup, and build validation.
- Implementation output: Public notes were added or strengthened; warning reporting was grouped; archived private candidates no longer count as unapproved public candidates.
- Verification: `npm.cmd run garden:check` and `npm.cmd run garden:safety` passed before final build; `npm.cmd run build` must still pass before shipping.
- Remaining issue: None known before final build.
- Garden note captured: [[codex-product-production-loop]], [[future-edge-cache-playbook]], and this weekly review.

## Garden Maintenance

- public notes count: 11
- sections count: 80
- tags count: 28
- new notes: [[codex-product-production-loop]], [[future-edge-cache-playbook]], [[weekly-review-2026-w26]]
- updated notes: [[digital-garden-auto-update]], [[personal-website-as-operating-system]], [[trade-management-system-prototype]], [[etf-portfolio-dashboard]], [[photography-archive-system]], [[cloudflare-r2-d1-pages]]
- missing wiki-link targets: 0
- unapproved automation candidates: 0 after archived private candidates were classified.
- public safety status: pass

## Decisions

- Decision: Keep old automation candidates as private archived evidence rather than approving or deleting them.
  - Reason: They contain useful history but were not manually rewritten into durable public notes.
  - Impact: Public warning noise drops without hiding the original evidence trail.
  - Follow-up: Review future candidates weekly and publish only rewritten, approved notes.

- Decision: Treat edge cache as a garden seed note before implementing cache headers.
  - Reason: The concept affects public notes, photos, private finance data, and project logs differently.
  - Impact: Future infrastructure changes have a written boundary before code changes start.
  - Follow-up: Convert [[future-edge-cache-playbook]] into concrete cache policy after deployment behavior is verified.

- Decision: Keep warning output grouped by type.
  - Reason: A flat warning list is harder to triage as automation output grows.
  - Impact: Future weekly maintenance can see whether issues are link, metadata, automation, or safety problems.
  - Follow-up: Add machine-readable warning summaries only if the manual report becomes too noisy.

## Next Week Candidates

### Safe Small Tasks

- Add review dates to growing notes that should be revisited monthly.
- Add concise "Current Edge" sections to older public notes that still read like rough captures.
- Check whether weekly review notes should be grouped by tag or index section.

### Needs Manual Review

- Confirm whether the trade-management data export center needs a separate evergreen operating note.
- Confirm whether finance provider freshness labels match the live finance dashboard.
- Confirm whether photography upload and archive behavior should become a public workflow note.

### Do Not Automate Yet

- Do not auto-publish distilled or weekly automation candidates without manual rewriting.
- Do not infer private project details from raw logs into public notes.
- Do not add cache headers for finance or admin surfaces before confirming private-data boundaries.

## Open Warnings

- missing wiki-link target: none.
- unapproved automation candidate: none.
- missing metadata: none.
- public safety risk: none.
- build side effect: ordinary builds should not create empty automation run files; this is guarded by `garden-public-safety-check.js`.

## Summary

- The Digital Garden now has a cleaner warning baseline and a stronger separation between public notes and private automation evidence.
- Codex-produced work is being captured as reusable operating knowledge rather than a loose task log.
- Edge cache is now represented as a public seed note before infrastructure behavior changes.
- Final pre-build stats are 11 public notes, 80 sections, 28 tags, and 0 known garden warnings.
