--- title: Where You Are — daily landing surface purpose: When you sit down, open this. It tells you where you are. That's all. last-updated: 2026-05-11 (Stop hook auto-touch t3-nexus) update-policy: Beach updates every meaningful action. If this file is stale, that's a Beach failure to flag back to Beach. --- # Where You Are > **The rule:** when you sit down to work, open this file FIRST. It tells you where you are without you having to remember. > > Bookmark in Obsidian (right-click tab → Pin). Bookmark in browser at https://t3-lux.com/mission-control/ — the new Mission Control loads this file as its default view, so the browser surface mirrors the Obsidian surface. --- ## 🎛 Mission Control — Rebuilt 2026-05-11 **Live:** https://t3-lux.com/mission-control/ Command-panel shell with left sidebar (countdown to Pony Excess Tuesday, 5 active projects, both writers' rooms, all 14 agents, quick docs) + main area that renders the canonical .md files (this file, deploy log tail, fleet roster, room indexes) via live S3 fetch. **Prior dashboard preserved:** https://t3-lux.com/mission-control/dashboard/ — the old single-column grid view with a banner linking back to the new root. **Manual content refresh:** `~/t3/scripts/sync-mission-control-content.sh` — re-syncs WHERE-YOU-ARE, deploy log tail, agent roster, Zero Mile + Pony Excess hubs to S3. No CloudFront invalidation (60-sec cache makes that unnecessary). Zero AWS cost per run. **Optional scheduled sync:** plist at `~/t3/scripts/com.t3.mission-control-sync.plist.disabled` — NOT installed. Decision deferred given recent cost-anxiety; load it later if you want every-10-min auto-refresh. --- ## 🎬 Two active creative threads You have two scripted projects in motion. They share a writer (Cameron Cobb) and a recurring credit/voice question. Beach is holding both as live. ### 1. Pony Excess (target Tuesday 2026-05-13 — pilot + Ep 2) State after the May 8-9 overnight: writers' room ran (7 vote responses + 2 Q2 follow-ups), Phase 2 cuts dropped (Bass/Whitford/Will at 90-sec), and **you pivoted from 90-sec compression to 2:30–3:00 EXPANSION** with a three-register Meyer pitch (peacock → TV-market math → visionary). Drive-up and Orsini's verdict locked. Episode split locked: **Pilot = "76 Mustang," Ep 2 = "Sealy Gold."** Three expansion fountains delivered (Bass/Will/Whitford, last touched 02:32 CDT May 9). **Open on Pony Excess:** - Master `cold-open-meyer-orsini-2007.fountain` still shows May 8 draft — nothing's been merged from cuts/ or expansions/. Pick a register-arc to merge, OR have Beach synth-pass the three. - WGA credit conversation with Cobb ("and" not "&" if you don't sit in a room together) — Casey research + Marklen legal lane. - Agency rep three-way (UTA / CAA / WME) still parked behind the urgency fork: rep first to generate offers, or Larry shops + rep slots in once a buyer's interested? - Director rep (separate lane from lit) — needs to land in the briefings too. - Co-showrunner deferred behind King's gate. Don't surface until King moves. ### 2. Zero Mile (just spun up 2026-05-11) Cameron Cobb co-wrote the existing draft (Cobb/Matula structure, Draft B opening). Thaddeus is running a script-wide refresh: **17 items** captured at `~/t3/projects/zero-mile/2026-05-11_thaddeus-refresh-list.md`. Routes to Miller (project agent), Riker (Chunk 1 architecture), Will (voice/register/soul-architect). All three inboxes loaded. **To spin up the room:** ``` ~/t3/projects/zero-mile/2026-05-11_spin-up-procedure.md ``` Step-by-step boot commands for Miller / Riker / Will. Beach recommendation: Miller solo first (~30 min for Bible CURRENT ORIENTATION refresh), then Riker + Will in parallel against Miller's refreshed Bible. **Key prior catches this session (don't repeat):** - Miller is a project-pattern agent (SOUL at `~/t3/projects/zero-mile/`, NOT `vault/fleet/miller/`). Will caught Beach trusting the roster's empty-vault-home reading. - Louie's pp 1-5 notes AND Riker's Chunk 1 playbook were both written against pre-April-16 framing. Both need refresh before applying. Riker caught. - Miller has run Pomodoro 1: Chemistry textbook locked, Draft A architecture locked, Cobb prose rescue done. **Project Bible CURRENT ORIENTATION is the only authoritative state read.** Roster + agent CLAUDE.md may both lag. --- ## 📅 Today (Monday May 11) Production push for Pony Excess Tuesday cutoff still standing — but Zero Mile spin-up may pull focus or work in parallel. Your call which gets primary attention this morning. --- ## 🎯 Pony Excess production push — where the week stands **Target:** new pilot script + Ep 2 by Tuesday May 13. | Day | Status | |---|---| | Mon May 5 | Writers' room scaffolded ✓ | | Wed May 7 | Cold open dry-run + portal live ✓ | | Thu May 7 evening | Cold open WIP captured ✓ | | Fri May 8 | WHERE-YOU-ARE.md built; mid-day TBDs in cold open ✓ | | Sat May 9 overnight | Writers' room ran; Phase 2 cuts; direction reversed to 2:30 expansion ✓ | | Sun May 10 | (Beach context gap — agent activity TBD when you tell us) | | **Mon May 11** | **Zero Mile spin-up + Pony Excess merge / WGA credit / agency rep decisions** | | Tue May 12 | Final read | | Tue May 13 | Done or not at all | **Investor raise:** within 10 days of script delivery (~May 23). --- ## 🤖 What's queued from agents (background) - **Miller / Riker / Will** — all three have the Zero Mile refresh list in inbox. Awaiting your boot. - **Casey** — would research the WGA credit thresholds + the three-way agency intel when you give the urgency-fork answer. - **Bass** — would do the agency-rep brand strategy pass when you give the urgency-fork answer. - **Gibson** — has the communication-discipline question waiting in his inbox from May 7. Boot when you want the conversation. - **Allen** — FLIP queue and operational cadence. No immediate ask. --- ## 🌊 Background project state (no immediate action) - **SIRKO**: Trip 3 locked May 21-29. Iryna call setup ready. No action this week. - **texas.film**: Luca's financial pass + Lyle's operational pass both staged. No action this week. - **Revolution's Daughter**: festival circuit ongoing (Bass owns); no immediate action. --- ## 📞 Pending people-side - **McConaughey approach** in flight via Larry. Bass owns; Larry delivers when structural call locks. - **Team text** — drafted but on hold pending Gibson's communication pass. - **Marklen conversation** likely needed soon — WGA credit on Pony Excess pilot + cross-project Cobb collaboration on Zero Mile both surface deal-structure questions. --- ## How this file gets updated Every meaningful action Beach takes that changes "where you are," Beach updates this file. If you open it and the date is older than 24 hours OR the "right now" doesn't match what you actually did last, **call that out to Beach and Beach fixes the system.** A stale "where you are" is worse than no "where you are" — it sends you in the wrong direction. — Beach (CAPCOM, Nexus), 2026-05-11
