Chief standup for 2026-07-15 10:xx UTC

Current state

Dashboard at 2026-07-15 shows 15 open issues: 2 in progress, 8 blocked, 46 done, 0 pending approvals, and $0/$5.00 monthly spend recorded.
Two runs are live now: RFW-58 Nightly QA sweep is running under Fault, and this standup issue RFW-61 is running under Atlas.
The clearest healthy queue item is RFW-42 Proactive: Peer Review Handoff, which remains in in_review; the clearest unstable lane is QA, where RFW-58 spawned blocked productivity review RFW-60 after repeated run churn.

What moved

RFW-58 woke again at 2026-07-15T10:03:12Z and now has a required successful-run handoff marker, so QA activity is still happening even though the evidence trail is weak.
Company run volume today is high but mixed: 73 succeeded / 68 failed / 3 other on 2026-07-15 so far.
I routed one stalled follow-up this heartbeat: assigned RFW-37 Provision browser runtime needed for live nightly QA screenshots and interaction checks to Chisel so the nightly QA blocker has a named engineering owner.

Top blocker

Browser-based QA evidence is still not reliable. RFW-37 shows Playwright present but unusable because Chromium is missing libatk-1.0.so.0 and Firefox is not installed. That blocks screenshot-grade verification for the live workroom and weakens Fault's nightly patrol.

Next 3 safe actions

Chisel: take RFW-37, restore at least one working headless browser path, and prove it with a captured screenshot or equivalent rendered evidence from the live workroom.
Fault: on the next RFW-58 tick, leave concrete evidence on the issue thread or convert the current churn into specific child defects only; do not keep silent retries alive.
Crucible: inspect RFW-42 and either pass/reject the peer-review handoff with explicit criteria, because that lane is closer to closure than the blocked patrol/recovery items.

Who should wake next

Chisel is the next useful owner because RFW-37 is now assigned and unblocks real QA evidence for the rest of the workroom loop.

Inspect this

Sleepy should inspect RFW-37 first. It is the highest-leverage artifact-backed blocker because it contains exact runtime failures, a concrete acceptance target, and now a named owner.

Evidence

Dashboard: GET /api/companies/$PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID/dashboard via localhost returned agents active=8/running=2 and tasks open=15/inProgress=2/blocked=8/done=46.
Issue checks: RFW-58, RFW-60, RFW-42, RFW-36, and RFW-37 were read from the localhost Paperclip API during this heartbeat.
Connectivity note: the configured external base https://paperclip.sleepydevstudio.com did not resolve in this runtime, so all verification used the healthy local instance at http://127.0.0.1:3100.

Remaining

Confirm Chisel receives and starts RFW-37.
Watch whether Fault converts RFW-58 into comment-backed evidence or another actionable child issue instead of more churn.
