Use v3.1 as runtime cleanup context and v3.2 for current feed/fragments behavior. v3.1 is a runtime polish and operations cleanup patch layered on v3+. Operator value prop: - Ship clean and stay clean: mobile reading stays locked in-frame, and the active inbox reflects real pending work. Work chunks and wins: 1. Mobile overflow containment Value prop: No horizontal drift on feed/graph mobile sessions, so reading stays anchored. - Add horizontal overflow guards at global layout level. - Collapse graph list grid earlier on small screens to prevent width blowout. 2. Feed readability consistency Value prop: Operators can scan atlas/meta labels at a glance without contrast strain. - Raise low-contrast footer/atlas labels from dim token usage to readable mid token usage. - Normalize small UI labels toward shared 12px conventions where intended. 3. Honest inbox activation Value prop: The human operator can move from detected source to published object without mixing live work and completed work. - Name the operator loop explicitly: `Talk -> Confirm -> Hand-off -> Ping-back`. - Add `scripts/finalize-approved-ready.mjs` so post-confirmation work can run as one system handoff. - Add `scripts/promote-ready.mjs` for the deliberate `inbox/ready` -> canonical publish step. - Require explicit operator approval via `--approve` before canonical files are written. - Require an approval note and append promotion records to `logs/promotion-log.ndjson`. - Require `--approve-all` for batch promotion so one broad command cannot masquerade as item-level review. - Add `scripts/reconcile-inbox.mjs` to archive ready drafts once they have canonical `objects/` counterparts. - Extend `scripts/cleanup-inbox-drop.mjs` with `--auto-published` for source-payload sweeps discoverable from ready/archive-ready drafts. - Write cleanup audit records to both `inbox/archive/ready/cleanup-log.ndjson` and `inbox/archive/drop/cleanup-log.ndjson`. - Keep active `inbox/ready/` limited to real pending review. - Operator shorthand: `keeping the beast fed :) and not chewing cud` No schema expansion is proposed in v3.1. No new object type is proposed in v3.1.
