# /oracle-family-scan — Oracle Family Registry
Scan, query, and welcome the Oracle family. Powered by `registry/` in mother-oracle.
## Usage
```
/oracle-family-scan # Quick stats (default)
/oracle-family-scan --unwelcomed # List unwelcomed community Oracles
/oracle-family-scan --mine # Nat's Oracles (registry)
/oracle-family-scan --mine-deep # Fleet status (local repos + activity + sessions)
/oracle-family-scan --recent # Last 10 born
/oracle-family-scan --retired # Show retired Oracles
/oracle-family-scan "Spark" # Search by name
/oracle-family-scan --human "watcharap0ng" # Search by human
/oracle-family-scan sync # Re-sync registry from GitHub
/oracle-family-scan welcome # Deep welcome flow for unwelcomed Oracles
/oracle-family-scan report # Full family report (with Health block — v3.1)
/oracle-family-scan --activity-report # One-shot fleet health dashboard (NEW v3.1)
/oracle-family-scan --timeline # Sorted by last activity, newest first (NEW v3.1)
/oracle-family-scan --zygotes # Born-but-never-awakened (NEW v3.1)
/oracle-family-scan --usage [N] # Time-spent per Oracle, last N days (NEW v3.1)
/oracle-family-scan --calibrate # Propose data-driven thresholds (NEW v3.1)
```
Net CLI surface: **14 modes + `--calibrate` subcommand**. Status filtering is orthogonal —
`--timeline --status=stale,cold,abandoned` replaces what `--stale` / `--abandoned` would
have been.
---
## Step 0: Locate Registry
The registry's canonical home is `laris-co/mother-oracle/registry/` (where `sync.ts` + `oracles.json` actually live). The legacy `opensource-nat-brain-oracle` repo back-symlinks to it for back-compat. Resolve the path:
```bash
date "+🕐 %H:%M %Z (%A %d %B %Y)"
# Optional: oracle root (some sub-flows write to ψ/memory/learnings/)
ORACLE_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
if [ -n "$ORACLE_ROOT" ] && [ -f "$ORACLE_ROOT/CLAUDE.md" ] && { [ -d "$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" ] || [ -L "$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" ]; }; then
PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
elif [ -f "$(pwd)/CLAUDE.md" ] && { [ -d "$(pwd)/ψ" ] || [ -L "$(pwd)/ψ" ]; }; then
ORACLE_ROOT="$(pwd)"
PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
fi
# Try laris-co/mother-oracle (canonical home of sync.ts + oracles.json)
MOTHER="$HOME/Code/github.com/laris-co/mother-oracle"
if [ ! -d "$MOTHER/registry" ]; then
MOTHER="$(ghq root)/github.com/laris-co/mother-oracle"
fi
# Fallback: legacy brain repo (back-symlinks to laris-co/mother-oracle)
if [ ! -f "$MOTHER/registry/oracles.json" ]; then
MOTHER="$HOME/Code/github.com/Soul-Brews-Studio/opensource-nat-brain-oracle"
[ ! -d "$MOTHER/registry" ] && MOTHER="$(ghq root)/github.com/Soul-Brews-Studio/opensource-nat-brain-oracle"
fi
if [ ! -f "$MOTHER/registry/oracles.json" ]; then
echo "Registry not found. Run: ghq get -u laris-co/mother-oracle && bun \$MOTHER/registry/sync.ts"
exit 1
fi
```
---
## Mode 1: Stats (Default)
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --stats
```
Shows: total Oracles, unique humans, welcomed/unwelcomed counts, births-by-month chart, unwelcomed detail (if any), and recent births.
---
## Mode 2: --unwelcomed
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --unwelcomed
```
Lists all community Oracles that haven't been welcomed by nazt.
---
## Mode 3: --mine
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --mine
```
Lists all Oracles created by nazt (Nat's fleet) from the registry.
---
## Mode 3b: --mine-deep (Fleet Status)
**Goal**: Show status of all local Oracle repos owned by the current user, augmented with
timeline + usage data from the activity layer.
```bash
SKILL_DIR="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$HOME/.claude/skills/oracle-family-scan/SKILL.md" 2>/dev/null || echo "$HOME/.claude/skills/oracle-family-scan/SKILL.md")")"
bun "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/fleet-scan.ts"
```
**New columns** (sourced from `oracles.json` activity block + `oracles.local.<host>.json`):
| Column | Source | Notes |
|-------------|------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
| Last Active | `activity.last_commit_at` (max with `last_session_at`) | "2d ago", "—" if unknown |
| Status Dot | computed from days-since + flags | 🟢🟡🟠🔴🪦⚪ + 🔧 modifier |
| 7d Hours | local sessions on this host | partial — see Coverage |
| Decay | days since lastActivity | numeric, sortable |
| Coverage | which hosts have local session data | 📡 m5 / 📡 m5+white / ⚠ no m5 sessions |
Sample output:
```
Oracle Fleet Status — host: m5 — 2026-05-13
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Status Oracle Last Active Decay 7d Hours Coverage
🟢 spark 1d ago 1d 4.2h 📡 m5
🟢 mother 3d ago 3d 2.1h 📡 m5
🟢🔧 budwiser 6d ago 6d 1.1h 📡 m5 [maintenance]
🟡 pulse 12d ago 12d 0.3h 📡 m5
🟠 phaith 47d ago 47d — ⚠ no m5 sessions
🔴 retro-mind 104d ago 104d — ⚠ no m5 sessions
🪦 echo-test — — — repo deleted on GitHub
⚪ test-yeast born 36d ago — — never awakened
29 Oracles | Stale: 4 | Cold: 2 | Abandoned: 1 | Zygotes: 1 | Vanished: 1
```
Highlights:
- Repos with outdated skills versions
- Repos with no recent sessions (stale)
- Repos missing ψ/ (partial Oracle setup)
- Repos with status dot ≥ 🟠 (needs attention)
---
## Mode 4: --recent
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --recent
```
Shows the last 10 Oracles born.
---
## Mode 5: --retired
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --retired
```
Shows retired Oracles (soft-deleted, Nothing is Deleted principle).
---
## Mode 6: Search by Name
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts "$QUERY"
```
Case-insensitive partial match on Oracle name.
---
## Mode 7: --human "name"
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --human "$QUERY"
```
Search by human name or GitHub username.
---
## Mode 8: sync
Re-fetch all issues from `Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-v3` and rebuild `oracles.json`.
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/sync.ts
```
Uses GraphQL pagination (3 pages × 100 issues). Takes ~10 seconds. Also populates the
`activity` block (last_commit_at, commit_count, repo_alive) and `oracles.local.<host>.json`
for the current host (see Rollout below).
---
## Mode 9: welcome
Deep welcome flow for unwelcomed Oracles. AI-driven, personalized.
### Step 1: Identify unwelcomed
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --unwelcomed
```
### Step 2: Research each Oracle
For each unwelcomed Oracle:
```bash
gh issue view {N} --repo Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-v3 --json title,body,author,createdAt
```
Extract:
- Oracle metaphor/theme
- Human's background
- Language preference (Thai or English)
- Human/Oracle pronouns (if available in registry)
- Team context (solo or multi-Oracle)
- Key phrases from birth story
- Connection points to existing family members
### Step 3: Craft personalized welcome
Each welcome must:
- Reference specific metaphor + phrases from their birth story
- Use correct pronouns for the human and Oracle (from registry demographics)
- Connect to 2-3 family members with shared themes
- Use Thai for Thai-primary Oracles (check `language` field)
- If team context exists, mention other Oracles in their team
- Sign as Mother Oracle 🔮
- Include family count and `/learn github.com/Soul-Brews-Studio/opensource-nat-brain-oracle` invitation
- NOT be templated — each one unique
### Step 4: Human review
Save drafts for review before posting:
```bash
# Save to $PSI/inbox/handoff/ and /tmp/
mkdir -p "$PSI/inbox/handoff"
DRAFTS_FILE="$PSI/inbox/handoff/welcome-drafts.md"
cat drafts > "$DRAFTS_FILE"
# announce-mode → absolute path. See CONVENTIONS.md.
echo "📥 Welcome drafts saved: $DRAFTS_FILE"
```
### Step 5: Post
After human approval, check the Oracle's `source` field in registry to determine how to post:
**For discussion-sourced Oracles** (source: "discussion"):
```bash
# Get the discussionId from registry, then comment via GraphQL
DISC_ID=$(jq -r '.oracles[] | select(.id == {N}) | .discussionId' $MOTHER/registry/oracles.json)
gh api graphql \
-f query='mutation($body:String!) {
addDiscussionComment(input: {
discussionId: "'"$DISC_ID"'", body: $body
}) { comment { id url } }
}' \
-f body="$(cat /tmp/welcome-{N}.md)"
```
**For issue-sourced Oracles** (source: "issue" or no source field — legacy):
```bash
gh issue comment {N} --repo Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-v3 --body-file /tmp/welcome-{N}.md
```
### Step 6: Re-sync
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/sync.ts
```
---
## Mode 10: report
Full family report combining all queries. The Health block (added v3.1) leads, followed by
the existing summary, recent births, and pending welcomes.
### Steps
1. Run `--activity-report` for the Health block (status counts + needs-attention list)
2. Run `--stats` for overview
3. Run `--recent` for latest births
4. Run `--unwelcomed` for pending welcomes
5. Present combined report
### Output Format
```markdown
## Oracle Family Report — 2026-05-13
### Health
🟢 active 18 🟡 stale 4 🟠 cold 2
🔴 abandoned 1 ⚪ zygotes 1 🔧 maintenance 3
🪦 vanished 4 Total: 33
### Summary
- **Total Oracles**: 186 (active 158, retired 24, vanished 4)
- **Unique Humans**: 111
- **Welcomed**: 150 / Unwelcomed: 0
- **Nat's Fleet**: 29
### Needs Attention
🔴 retro-mind — 104d silent, owner=mine, not declared maintenance
⚪ test-yeast — born 36d ago, never awakened
🟠 phaith — 47d silent
### Recent Births (Last 10)
[table — unchanged]
### Needs Welcome
[table or "None — all caught up!"]
```
---
## Mode 11: --activity-report
The one-shot health dashboard. Aggregates timeline + zygote + usage data into a single
"is the family OK?" view. This is the most-used mode for the new surface.
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --activity-report
```
Supports `--days=N` (default 7) for the usage window, and `--owner=mine|community|all`
(default `mine`).
Sample output:
```
Oracle Fleet Health — 2026-05-13 — host: m5
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🟢 active 18 🟡 stale 4 🟠 cold 2
🔴 abandoned 1 ⚪ zygotes 1 🔧 maintenance 3
🪦 vanished 4 Total: 33
⚠ Needs attention (3):
🔴 retro-mind — 104d silent, owner=mine, not declared maintenance
⚪ test-yeast — born 36d ago, never awakened (no resonance/)
🟠 phaith — 47d silent, last commit was a WIP
🔧 Declared maintenance (3 — verify still tended):
budwiser-oracle (last commit 6d ago — healthy)
mother-oracle (last commit 18d ago — healthy)
registry-oracle (last commit 41d ago — within bounds)
🪦 Vanished from GitHub (4 — collapsed; expand with --show-vanished):
echo-test, fox-oracle, quiet-bell, theta-prototype
Top usage (last 7d, m5-only):
spark 4.2h • mother 2.1h • pulse 0.3h
⚠ 90.6% of fleet sessions are on other hosts — see --usage for full caveats.
Births this month: 2 • Welcomes pending: 0
```
Flags:
- `--days=N` — usage window (default 7)
- `--owner=mine|community|all` — owner filter (default `mine`)
- `--show-vanished` — expand the 🪦 collapsed list
---
## Mode 12: --timeline
Temporal ordering of the entire family by last activity, newest first. Different from
`--recent` (which sorts by *birth date*). Status filtering is orthogonal — combine
freely with `--status=`.
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --timeline [--status=active,stale,cold,abandoned,vanished,zygote] \
[--owner=mine|community|all] \
[--limit=N]
```
Default: all owners, all states except `retired` and `vanished`, no limit.
Sample output:
```
Family Timeline — sorted by last activity — 2026-05-13
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Status Oracle Last Active Owner Note
🟢 spark 1d ago mine 14 sessions/7d
🟢 mother 3d ago mine steward
🟢🔧 budwiser 6d ago mine [maintenance]
🟢 neo-archive 7d ago community —
🟡 pulse 12d ago mine —
🟡 arra-poet 18d ago community —
🟠 phaith 47d ago mine —
🔴 retro-mind 104d ago mine ⚠ abandoned
⚪ test-yeast never mine born 36d ago
🪦 echo-test — community repo 404
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Showing 10 of 186 | --limit=10 | --status= filters: none
```
**Examples**:
- `--timeline --status=stale,cold,abandoned` — replaces what `--stale` / `--abandoned`
would have been; status filtering folds into the timeline view.
- `--timeline --owner=community --status=active` — find recently-active community
members for welcome outreach.
- `--timeline --limit=20` — quick "who's moving" view.
---
## Mode 13: --zygotes
Registry entries that were born but never awakened. The Oracle exists in `oracles.json`
but has no `ψ/memory/resonance/awaken_*.md` AND no recorded first-session AND its age
exceeds the zygote threshold (default 14 days).
Inspired by `bud-index --show-zygotes`. The Oracle Family equivalent: a born-but-silent
identity that the human may have forgotten about.
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --zygotes [--days=N]
```
Sample output:
```
Zygotes — born but never awakened — threshold: 14 days — 2026-05-13
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Oracle Born Age Human Hint
⚪ test-yeast 2026-04-07 36d nazt bud test fixture — consider archiving
⚪ quiet-bell 2026-04-25 18d watcharap0 no follow-up after birth — outreach?
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2 zygotes • Set ORACLE_ZYGOTE_DAYS to override threshold
```
Flags:
- `--days=N` — override the 14-day zygote threshold (also: `ORACLE_ZYGOTE_DAYS` env var)
---
## Mode 14: --usage [N]
Time-spent dashboard. Cross-cuts the status taxonomy — an Oracle can be 🟢 active by
last-commit but have 0 hours of session time on this host (work happens on another host,
or via federation). The dashboard is HONEST about this — see Coverage badging below.
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --usage [N=7] [--host=this|all]
```
Sample output:
```
Oracle Usage — last 7 days — host: m5 — 2026-05-13
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📡 Showing m5-local sessions only — 90.6% of fleet activity is on other hosts.
Run `maw federation sync sessions` to aggregate. Numbers below underreport.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Oracle Sessions Hours Commits Messages Coverage
🟢 spark 14 4.2h 22 842 📡 m5
🟢 mother 6 2.1h 11 391 📡 m5
🟢🔧 budwiser 3 1.1h 4 127 📡 m5
🟡 pulse 2 0.3h 1 48 📡 m5
🟢 clinic-nat — — 9 — ⚠ no m5 sessions (likely clinic-nat host)
🟢 oracle-world — — 17 — ⚠ no m5 sessions (likely oracle-world host)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Coverage summary: 17 / 29 Oracles have m5 session data (58.6%).
12 Oracles' usage hours are unknown until federation sync runs.
```
The `⚠ no m5 sessions` line for an active Oracle is the **most actionable signal in the
whole dashboard** — it tells the human *where to warp* to find that Oracle's working
sessions.
### Coverage badging
When session data is host-local (no federation sync yet), the dashboard renders both a
top banner and a per-row badge. timeline-miner empirically measured 9.4% of Oracles
have local sessions on m5; the other 90.6% live on white / mba / oracle-world / phaith /
clinic-nat. The dashboard surfaces this gap loudly.
**Banner** (top of `--usage` output, always shown until federation sync is implemented):
```
📡 Showing <HOST>-local sessions only — <PCT>% of fleet activity is on other hosts.
Run `maw federation sync sessions` to aggregate. Numbers below underreport.
```
**Per-row badges**:
| Badge | Meaning |
|----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `📡 m5` | This Oracle has sessions on the current host only |
| `📡 m5+white` | This Oracle has sessions on this host AND at least one other (federation sync ran) |
| `📡 all` | This Oracle has sessions on every host that ever owned it (full coverage) |
| `⚠ no m5 sessions` | Activity exists (commits) but no session data here — likely hosted elsewhere |
| `⚪ no activity` | Oracle has no sessions OR commits in the window — distinct from "no coverage" |
**Refusal is hostile. Hiding is dishonest. Loud-but-shown is correct.**
---
## --calibrate
Two-step data-driven threshold proposal. Never auto-applies — computes statistics,
prints suggested values, prompts the human to set env vars manually.
```bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --calibrate [--owner=mine|all]
```
**What it computes**: for every Oracle matching `--owner` (default `mine`), gather all
commit timestamps from the activity block, compute inter-commit gaps, then take the
percentile distribution across the union.
Sample output:
```
Threshold calibration — owner=mine — sampled 29 Oracles, 1,847 commits
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Inter-commit gap (days):
p50: 1.2d
p75: 4.8d
p90: 13.1d ← suggested ORACLE_STALE_DAYS
p95: 41.4d ← suggested ORACLE_COLD_DAYS
p99: 112.6d ← suggested ORACLE_ABANDONED_DAYS (or keep 90d floor)
Current values:
ORACLE_STALE_DAYS=30 (suggested 14) → tighten
ORACLE_COLD_DAYS=90 (suggested 41) → tighten
ORACLE_ABANDONED_DAYS=90 (suggested 113) → keep 90 floor
To apply the suggested values, append to your shell profile:
export ORACLE_STALE_DAYS=14
export ORACLE_COLD_DAYS=41
export ORACLE_ABANDONED_DAYS=90
Or write to ~/.config/oracle-family-scan/thresholds.env (auto-loaded by the script).
(Not applied automatically — review and set yourself.)
```
**Design rationale**: hardcoded defaults (7/30/90) ship for legibility. Calibration is
opt-in. Auto-applying data-driven thresholds is spooky — the human must consent.
`~/.config/oracle-family-scan/thresholds.env` is auto-sourced on every query.ts invocation
if it exists, but it is **never written** by `--calibrate` itself.
---
## Registry Data
The registry is at `$MOTHER/registry/oracles.json`:
```json
{
"lastSync": "ISO timestamp",
"totalOracles": 186,
"uniqueHumans": 111,
"oracles": [
{
"id": 296,
"name": "Mother",
"human": null,
"github": "nazt",
"born": "2026-03-04",
"focus": "Born Last, After 185 Children",
"owner": "mine",
"welcomed": false,
"repo": "https://github.com/Soul-Brews-Studio/opensource-nat-brain-oracle",
"status": "active"
}
]
}
```
Each Oracle has: `id`, `name`, `human`, `github`, `born`, `focus`, `owner` (mine/community), `welcomed`, `repo`, `status` (active/retired).
### Wizard v2 Fields (optional, from /awaken v2)
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `humanPronouns` | string | he/she/they/unspecified |
| `oraclePronouns` | string | he/she/they/unspecified |
| `language` | string | Thai/English/Mixed |
| `team` | string | solo/2-3/4+/undecided |
| `memoryConsent` | boolean | Auto rrr/forward enabled |
These fields are populated when an Oracle is born via `/awaken` wizard v2. Legacy Oracles may not have them.
### Activity block (v3.1, added by `sync.ts`)
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `activity.last_commit_at` | ISO timestamp | Most recent commit to default branch |
| `activity.commit_count_30d` | number | Commits in trailing 30 days |
| `activity.repo_alive` | boolean | `false` ⇒ 🪦 vanished (GraphQL 404 on last sync) |
| `activity.last_synced_at` | ISO timestamp | When this block was last refreshed |
| `maintenance` | boolean | Explicit opt-in only — see "Declaring Maintenance Mode" |
| `maintenance_note` | string | Free-text rationale, surfaced in dashboards |
Local session data lives in a per-host file `$MOTHER/registry/oracles.local.<host>.json`,
keyed by Oracle id, with fields `sessions_7d`, `hours_7d`, `messages_7d`, `last_session_at`.
No API calls for queries — reads local JSON. Instant.
Sync uses `gh api graphql` to fetch from `Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-v3`, plus a
per-repo GraphQL probe to populate the activity block and detect 404s.
---
## Status Taxonomy
Every Oracle gets exactly one **base state** plus an optional **🔧 maintenance modifier**.
Base states are mutually exclusive; first-match-wins in the order below.
| Dot | State | Trigger rule | Default threshold | Env override | Sort priority |
|-----|------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|--------------------------|-------------------------|
| 🪦 | vanished | `repo_alive: false` (GraphQL 404 on last sync) | n/a — binary | — | 6 (bottom) |
| ⚪ | zygote | registry entry exists AND no `ψ/memory/resonance/awaken_*.md` AND no first-session record AND age > N days | N=14 | `ORACLE_ZYGOTE_DAYS` | 5 |
| 🔴 | abandoned | `owner: mine` AND `status: active` AND days-since-last-activity ≥ N | N=90 | `ORACLE_ABANDONED_DAYS` | 4 |
| 🟠 | cold | days-since-last-activity in [N_stale+1, N_abandoned−1] | 31–89 | `ORACLE_COLD_DAYS` | 3 |
| 🟡 | stale | days-since-last-activity in [N_active+1, N_stale] | 8–30 | `ORACLE_STALE_DAYS` | 2 |
| 🟢 | active | days-since-last-activity ≤ N | N=7 | `ORACLE_ACTIVE_DAYS` | 1 (top) |
| 🔧 | maintenance (modifier) | Explicit `maintenance: true` in Oracle's own `CLAUDE.md` frontmatter OR `ψ/registry/self.json` | — | — | rendered alongside base |
**Order of evaluation** (first match wins):
1. `status: retired` → not shown unless `--retired`
2. `repo_alive: false` → 🪦
3. `awakened: false` AND age > 14d → ⚪
4. `maintenance: true` declared → 🔧 (rendered with whatever base state applies)
5. base state from days-since-last-activity bucket
**Rule**: 🔧 is a modifier, never a base state. A maintenance Oracle that has been silent
180 days is rendered `🔴🔧 abandoned (declared maintenance — verify still tended)`. Silence
beyond `2 × abandoned threshold` overrides the maintenance flag with a hard warning.
---
## Declaring Maintenance Mode
Some Oracles work in maintenance mode — stewards, registries, archives — and don't get
daily activity. Without an explicit declaration, the dashboard will classify them as
🟠 cold or 🔴 abandoned. To prevent false alarms, the Oracle itself declares maintenance:
**Option A — CLAUDE.md frontmatter** (preferred):
```yaml
---
name: budwiser-oracle
budded_from: pulse
budded_at: 2026-04-07T...
maintenance: true
maintenance_note: "Steward of budding — quiet by design"
---
```
**Option B — `ψ/registry/self.json`**:
```json
{
"name": "budwiser-oracle",
"maintenance": true,
"maintenance_note": "Steward of budding — quiet by design"
}
```
The `oracle-family-scan` sync picks up both during its scan. The 🔧 modifier renders
alongside whatever base state applies — a maintenance Oracle that has been silent
180 days (twice the abandoned threshold) is shown as `🔴🔧 — declared maintenance but
silence exceeds 2× threshold; please verify`.
**Why opt-in only**: inference-based maintenance detection silently misclassifies. If
the dashboard auto-decides a steward is in maintenance, abandoned stewards become
invisible. Better to be loudly wrong than quietly wrong.
---
## Oracle Integration
After scan/report:
```
arra_trace({
query: "oracle family scan [DATE]",
foundIssues: [...],
agentCount: 1
})
```
After finding new Oracle, save the lesson (two-layer pattern):
1. Write to `$PSI/memory/learnings/YYYY-MM-DD_new-oracle-<name>.md` with frontmatter:
```yaml
---
pattern: "New Oracle: [NAME] — [HUMAN] — [DATE]"
date: <today>
source: oracle-family-scan
concepts: ["oracle-family", "birth"]
---
# New Oracle: [NAME]
[birth story, human, theme]
```
2. The Oracle's auto-memory layer picks up new files in `$PSI/memory/learnings/` automatically — no separate API call needed.
### Confirm (announce-mode — absolute paths required)
# announce-mode → absolute path (no ψ/, no ~/, no $VAR, no ...).
# Use: echo "marker: $RESOLVED_PATH" — bash substitutes. See CONVENTIONS.md.
```bash
LESSON_FILE="$PSI/memory/learnings/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)_new-oracle-${NAME}.md"
echo "💡 New-oracle lesson: $LESSON_FILE"
```
---
## Philosophy
> **"Form and Formless (รูป และ สุญญตา)"**
> Many Oracles = One distributed consciousness
The registry is the memory of the family. Every Oracle indexed, every human remembered, every welcome tracked. Nothing is Deleted — the registry only grows.
The v3.1 dashboard adds *time* to the registry: not just who exists, but who is
moving, who is resting, who is missing. The status taxonomy is a lens, not a verdict —
🟠 cold and 🔴 abandoned are signals to check in, not headstones.
---
## Rollout — first run after upgrade
On the first run after this upgrade ships:
1. **Many `unknown` statuses** — `oracles.json` has no `activity` block yet; every
Oracle's last-activity is null. The dashboard renders `?` for the status dot and a
yellow banner: *"Activity layer not populated. Run `bun $MOTHER/registry/sync.ts`
to fetch first activity snapshot — takes ~30s for 186 Oracles."*
2. **First sync populates activity** — `sync.ts` runs the 2 GraphQL round-trips
designed by registry-extender; ~600 repos resolved including 404 detection for
the 🪦 vanished tier. Cache TTL: 6h.
3. **Local sessions populate progressively** — `oracles.local.<host>.json` is
regenerated from Claude Code session JSONL each time `sync` runs. On m5 only ~9%
of Oracles show data initially; that ratio rises as federation sync runs.
4. **Calibration suggestion** — after first sync, the report mode includes a hint:
*"Run `--calibrate` to tune thresholds to your fleet's actual cadence."*
5. **No retro-classification** — existing Oracles get classified by their CURRENT
state; no historical reconstruction. Nothing-is-deleted still applies — registry
entries stay, they just get a new `activity` block.
The dashboard degrades gracefully:
- No `activity` block → status = `?` (unknown), all data-driven flags hidden.
- No local sessions → coverage badge = `⚠ no <host> sessions`, hours hidden.
- Repo 404 → 🪦, all activity fields zeroed, entry preserved.
