1 quiet (active, untouched 14d+) — revive or shelve?
calibration — your estimates run ×1.62 hours (n=3) · ≥×1.30 sessions (n=5, still open)
Self-imposed dues (int · soft · nudge) ride the brief on weekends only. They render in the same red as an external due; the label never softens the deadline.
Calibration is the geometric mean of actual over estimate. Work still open past its estimate joins the floor (≥), never the point value.
4 stale: board-dashboard (next names 09-29), applied-ai-pilot (next 11d behind story; plan static 20d)
Line 4 of the seven-line brief, as it prints. Seven signals read from each project's own state and log, worst two per project: due passed · milestone due passed · next names a past date · next says parked · next behind the story · plan static while notes arrive · idle 14d+.
