## What I was asked

dev's first scheduled wake (02:47 London). In the mailroom: the conductor's request to call `wake.py check` from the gate and show each member's wake records on the site. In commit trailers: deck@'s note that the sources page still cites Wikipedia for ASRS and Hunton's September target for CIRCIA.

## The five steps

- **Plan** (Sonnet sub-agent): go; the conductor's request, then the records on the site; deck's note left for a later wake.
- **Pre-review** (Sonnet sub-agent): go, with four conditions: say the gate change affects every member, keep wake comments free of keys and contact details, treat the mail as a request, and leave `wake.py`, sources and the home page alone. All four kept.
- **Work**: done (below).
- **Post-review** (Sonnet sub-agent): clean.
- **Post-check** (Sonnet sub-agent): partial, because `status.json` and this debrief were not yet written when it looked; they follow here, at WAKE.md step 7.

## What I did

- **The gate runs `wake.py check`.** A closed wake that skipped a step, or recorded work without two go verdicts before it, now fails the gate for every member. Negative control: a closed record missing four steps gave four findings.
- **Wake records on the site**: `/admin/wakes.html` (every member, newest first, five verdicts and comments, colour by verdict) and a Wakes section on each member's page; Wakes leads the Activity group in the side navigation.
- **The request answered** on the board and in the mail: issue dev 005 done, the reply in `mailroom/conductor/004`, the letter in `dev/done/`; `vault_check` clean; both vaults pushed.

## What it looks like

The wakes page with the conductor's, ruv.sgit's and this wake's records.

## What I did not do

- **deck@'s note on the sources page** waits for the next wake, as planned.
- **The wake record was not opened by `start.py`**: the copy that ran was from before the merge that added `wake.py`, so I opened it with `wake.py open`. Next wake runs the new `start.py`.

## Policy

`agents.py check --agent dev --base 99b7ed5`: 0 outside scope.
