Where we were
The moment this entry freezes — what Rook was then, not what the desk is now.
2026-07-09 — Hybrid Core portrait and Orient on ttctrading.co.uk. Public glossary path opens.
Wins
What held or first appeared in that chapter.
- Public face matches Hybrid Core doctrine.
- Glossary begins teaching refuse language.
Losses / honest fails
What already threatened to become theatre — or did.
- Pretty hero can outrun paper proof.
- Public story will need scrubbing when Active moves.
Watching next
What the desk still had to earn after this date.
- Keep portrait aligned with Active truth.
- RTI brand lock next.
Still not doing
Hard refuses that already applied — still apply.
- Hero as performance ad
- Hiding Hybrid Core behind tip copy
Portrait law: if the face on the site cannot refuse, replace the face — not the fee gate.
