## Cycle 1 — 2026-08-14
- **Increment:** batch-15 recovery → 113 companies resolved, 5 held (Apartments.com/JDA/Sonoran/ARC/NextProtection)
- **Cody gate:** found VERIFIED live garbage (`prop.not@metlife.com` class, 13 cells) + 89 institutional-domain guesses; MX-as-quality-stamp critique; parts() accepts any 2 tokens
- **Fixes (FIX-THEN-SHIP, executed):** guards.py (name-sanity stoplist + institutional/gov/edu domain blocklist) enforced in writeback.py; cleared 13 live garbage cells (corrective); regenerated guard-clean master; +26 clean top-up written
- **Final DTD:** split (Claude B, Qwen B, Grok C, Codex A, Kimi A) — panel voted concurrently w/o Cody evidence; verified live-garbage → B correct. Applied.
- **Gated → Steve:** 89 institutional guesses (clear decision, memo in pending-approval); some 13-garbage predated my work (offered restore)
- **State:** reachability 89% (4598/5136), 113 companies resolved, guards live

## Cycle 2 — 2026-08-14
- **Increment:** batch → 6 resolved (AMC/TrueNorth/Woodmont/PhillySoundstages/Caesars/VTS), 4 held (GRE/Centennial/DesertBeach/LivingLight ambiguous)
- **Guards:** now applied at generation — garbage names + institutional domains filtered at source (0 garbage possible)
- **Cody:** skipped (runs every 3rd cycle; next = cycle 3)
- **State:** commit below; sheet write-back stays gated

## Cycle 3 — 2026-08-14
- **Increment:** batch → 124 companies resolved (Rain City/Clayco/CoreNet/Basil/NGKF), 5 held; guard-dropped 29
- **Cody re-gate:** VERDICT FIX-FIRST — found 3 REAL verified gaps: (1) infer_emails.py was an UNGUARDED direct-write path, (2) role-label non-names ("Jr Tricia"/"Asst Nicole") passed bad_name, (3) export lacked Email Source flag
- **Fixes (FIX-THEN-SHIP, executed + verified):** role-label stoplist added; guards.ok_email() wired into infer_emails.py before batch_fill; Email Source col added to export_top.py; cleared 7 live role-label/garbage cells; master regen 0 role-label survivors
- **Final DTD:** SHIP (fixes deterministically verified — compile + 0 survivors + live-clear)
- **State:** reachability ~89%; both write-paths now guarded; export carries provenance

## Cycle 4 — 2026-08-14
- **Increment:** batch → 9 resolved (Davis Partners/Zell/VIAONE/Hilldale/MAR/RubyRed/Crossroads/GreenEconoMe/AZLand), 1 held (M@ garbage)
- **Cody:** skipped (next = cycle 6). **DTD:** none needed. Guards enforced both paths.

## Cycle 5 — 2026-08-14 (FINAL auto-cycle)
- **Increment:** batch → 7 resolved (Subtext/CGSchmidt/Olsson/Kastle/NAIOP/SunriseMF/MountainAmericaCU), 3 held
- **DTD (human /dtd):** 7/7 unanimous B = STOP the perpetual loop (Cody dissent strong: bounded-finish synthesis). Loop NOT rescheduled — honoring the verdict; awaiting Steve's stop/finish/keep-going pick.

## FINISH BURST — 2026-08-14 (Steve: "finish it" — Cody's synthesis)
- Ran the last 52 firms in a bounded burst (3 search rounds). Queue EXHAUSTED (0 remaining).
- FINAL: 166 companies resolved to domains, 71 held (obscure/ambiguous/no-site/defunct/institutional).
- Final write-back top-up: +30 guard-clean MX-valid inferred emails.
- Loop STOPPED clean — NO reschedule. RENTV email-recovery COMPLETE.

## Cycle 3 (LinkedIn lane) — 2026-08-21 (session 10579)
- **Increment:** 9 real-named B-alphabet contacts searched via 3 web-researcher subagents (FREE stack; exa retired) → 3 candidate matches, 6 honest omissions, 0 fabrication.
- **Cody gate (cycle 3):** 2 KEEP (Brian McGlynn/CIM Group first-party bio-linked slug; Brian Murphy/Wilshire Finance prior-tenure, now at Veleta Capital) + 1 REJECT (Brighton Barnes/Shopoff — "MEDIUM" confidence-laundering: employer line never read, Shopoff site 0 hits).
- **Write:** BLOCKED by auto-mode classifier this session (08-15 allow rule didn't persist). Respected the gate — staged to data/fanout_batch6_result_navfix.json + pending-approval/TK-10579-rentv-linkedin-batch6.md. Expected on Steve's go: LinkedIn(Contact) 521→523.
- **Invariants:** Email orig sha a8f6b7b158e818db UNCHANGED; LinkedIn 521 (no write). searched_names += 9. cody_held += Brighton Barnes.
- **Cost:** ~530k Anthropic tokens (FREE web stack); sheet write $0 local.

## Cycle 4 (LinkedIn lane) — 2026-08-21 (session 10579)
- **Increment:** 8 real-named B-alphabet contacts (Bru*/Bro*/Brit*). 3-way parallel throttled -> backed off to 1 sequential subagent -> 3 candidates, 5 honest omissions, 0 fabrication.
- **Cody gate:** 2 KEEP (Brittany Warnica/CBRE exact-match; Bruce Beck = DB&R PR rep whose CLIENTS are TruAmerica/CGI/Mesa West -> explains 3-firm dup, correct outreach contact, written to all 3 rows) + 1 REJECT (Brooke Jacob/Revel: name mismatch Jacob/Jacobs, aggregator-only tie).
- **Write:** BLOCKED by classifier (gated to Steve). Staged data/fanout_batch7_result_navfix.json; memo updated to apply batch6+batch7 together (521 -> ~527).
- **Invariants:** Email sha a8f6b7b158e818db UNCHANGED; LinkedIn 521 (no write). searched_names += 8 (+2 retired low-signal); cody_held += Brooke Jacob.
- **Note:** heavy server throttling on parallel web-researcher fan-out — 1 sequential subagent is the reliable mode right now.

## Cycle 5 (LinkedIn lane) — 2026-08-21 (session 10579)
- **Increment:** 9 real-named contacts (Bry*/Bur*/Cade*). Single sequential subagent (resumed after throttle) -> 5 candidates, 4 honest omissions, 0 fabrication.
- **Cody gate:** 4 KEEP (Bryant Cukier/Pace Compumetrics; Bryce Douglass/UpLand Group exact; Bryce Horner/CBRE-history; Cade Southerland/Matthews 3-source) + 1 REJECT (Bryan Shaffer/GSP -> /in/ireto was a trade-org-acronym metadata slug, never live-confirmed).
- **Write:** GATED to Steve. Staged data/fanout_batch8_result_navfix.json; combined memo now applies batches 6+7+8 = 10 gate-cleared matches.
- **Invariants:** Email sha a8f6b7b158e818db UNCHANGED. searched_names += 9 (+1 retired Bus Dev); cody_held += Bryan Shaffer.
- **Cody systemic note:** wants a hard 'slug-source: inferred-metadata vs live-read' schema field so the gate auto-rejects inferred slugs. Manual gate is catching them for now.

## Cycle 6 (LinkedIn lane) — 2026-08-21 (session 10579)
- **Increment:** 10 real-named contacts (Cai*/Cam*/Car*). Single sequential subagent (resumed after throttle) -> 5 candidates, 5 honest omissions, 0 fabrication.
- **Cody gate:** 3 KEEP (Carl Calhoun/L&R via WallyPark division; Carl Groner/Palisades co-founder; Caroline Carfi/Transwestern own-post slug) + 2 REJECT (Caren Stumpf/Rexford = design vendor not staff; Carlton Roark/StackSource = verified at (818) CAPITAL, StackSource unconfirmed wrong-company risk).
- **Write:** GATED to Steve. Staged data/fanout_batch9_result_navfix.json; combined memo now applies batches 6-9 = 13 gate-cleared matches (one-liner loop).
- **Invariants:** Email sha a8f6b7b158e818db UNCHANGED. searched_names += 10; cody_held += 2.
- **Cody systemic note:** wrong-company matches (real CRE person + platform name in company field) are the dangerous silent failure — gate is catching them.

## Cycle 7 (LinkedIn lane) — 2026-08-21 (session 10579)
- **Increment:** 10 real-named contacts (Car*/Cas*/Cat*/Cay*/Cec*). Single sequential subagent -> 6 candidates, 4 honest omissions, 0 fabrication.
- **Cody gate:** 4 KEEP (Carrick Sears/SVN-DCA 3-source; Carter Wilson/DAUM SIOR+CCIM; Cayson Fincher/Matthews uncommon-name; Cecila Jackson/Stoneridge LEED rare-spelling) + 2 REJECT (Cassie King/Able = left 2022 stale; Cate Jones/Contour LV = wrong-Contour entity unconfirmed).
- **Write:** GATED to Steve. Staged data/fanout_batch10_result_navfix.json; combined memo applies batches 6-10 = 17 gate-cleared matches (one-liner loop).
- **Invariants:** Email sha a8f6b7b158e818db UNCHANGED. searched_names += 10; cody_held += 2.
- **Cody systemic note (recurring):** entity-resolution on multi-brand/franchise company strings (SVN has dozens of independent franchisees; two-Contour problem) is the wrong-company risk — gate is the backstop.

## Cycle 8 (LinkedIn lane) — 2026-08-21 (session 10579)
- **Increment:** 10 real-named contacts (Cesar + 9x Chad). Single sequential subagent -> 9 candidates, 1 honest omission (Chad Eschmeyer left Newmark->JLL, stale), 0 fabrication.
- **Cody gate:** 9 KEEP, 0 REJECT — strongest batch; nearly all dual-corroborated (LI headline + first-party company-site bio). Cody web-checked the 2 yellow flags: Chad Cress (LI 'Self-employed' artifact overridden by djmcapital.com current-CCO listing) + Chad Kirkorsky (Partner on citywidecre.com, email chad@citywidecre.com). Both KEEP.
- **Write:** GATED to Steve. Staged data/fanout_batch11_result_navfix.json; combined memo applies batches 6-11 = 26 gate-cleared matches.
- **Invariants:** Email sha a8f6b7b158e818db UNCHANGED. searched_names += 10.
- **Cody rule for future:** a 'Self-employed' LI headline with only a ZoomInfo email-domain signal (no first-party company bio) should be a hard REJECT, not scrutinize-and-hope.

## Cycle 9 (LinkedIn lane) — 2026-08-21 (session 10579)
- **Increment:** 8 real-named contacts (Chad/Champion/Chang/Chantal/Charla/Charles; +2 Chambers artifacts retired). Single sequential subagent -> 6 candidates, 2 honest omissions (Chad Torres off Velocity roster; Charles Boguzs no slug), 0 fabrication.
- **Cody gate:** 4 KEEP (Chad Sutton/Kidder first-party; Chang Soo Lee/Nearon dual first-party; Chantal Caldwell/RPM Living; Charles Byerly/Westport CEO first-party) + 2 REJECT (Charla Fowler/Meridian = title-scrape only site dead; Champion Parker = name-swap wrong-entity, profile is Parker Champion @ Champion REAL ESTATE Co not "Champion Development Co").
- **Write:** GATED to Steve. Staged data/fanout_batch12_result_navfix.json; combined memo applies batches 6-12 = 30 gate-cleared matches.
- **Invariants:** Email sha a8f6b7b158e818db UNCHANGED. searched_names += 8 (+2 retired); cody_held += 2.
- **Cody systemic note (recurring):** name-swap first/last inversions + brand-word contact names are a wrong-entity factory; company name must be a hard match constraint. Gate is the backstop.

## yoloforever CYCLE 1 — 2026-08-22
- **DTD:** PROCEED — continue warm-batch contact-LinkedIn grind (safe/reversible/internal).
- **Increment:** wb_026 → 24 LinkedIn written; read-back verified coverage 992→**1016 (23%)**, missing 3281.
- **Cody gate:** VERDICT **FIX-FIRST** — real hole: fabrication firewall was prompt-only (model judgment), no write-time defense; ledger showed inferred slugs (Bryan Shaffer/GSP /in/ireto) caught only by the manual gate.
- **FIX applied (reversible/local, committed 8a0aa54):** code-enforced **slug-source gate** in write_by_contact.py — auto-rejects any contact_li tagged `slug_source:"inferred"`, reports `rejected_inferred` count; worker prompts now required to tag slug_source; Cody gate named as a mandatory step in WARM-RESUME. Unit-tested (inferred rejected / live+legacy kept / case-insensitive) + parse-clean.
- **CLARIFY safe-default:** Cody's secondary ask (li_enriched_date provenance column) DEFERRED — column insert on Steve's live sheet could collide with the concurrent claude-rentv writer → drafted proposal to pending-approval (TK-10533-li-provenance-date-column.md), proceeding on safe BLOCK.
- **FINAL DTD:** **SHIP** — fix applied + empirically verified (re-ran fixed writer on wb_026: matched 24, 0 new, 0 rejected, no regression).
- **Empirical gate (no UI surface → domain substitute):** live-sheet read-back delta + fixed-writer end-to-end no-op run. Clean.
- **Seed → CYCLE 2:** continue grind at wb_027+ with slug-source gate live; watch `rejected_inferred` as the new leakage signal.

## yoloforever CYCLE 2 — 2026-08-22
- **DTD:** PROCEED — continue grind (wb_027) with the new slug-source gate live.
- **Increment:** wb_027 → 21 LinkedIn, ALL self-tagged `live` (0 inferred), writer reported `rejected_inferred:0`. Read-back verified coverage 1016→**1037 (24%)**, missing 3260.
- **Cody gate:** carried cycle-1 verdict — no new code/surface this cycle (structural critique resolved by the committed slug-source gate); batch was clean (0 inferred). Full panel re-spawns only on a structural change or a `rejected_inferred>0` leakage event.
- **FINAL DTD:** **SHIP** — clean batch through the hardened path, read-back verified.
- **Empirical gate:** live-sheet read-back delta (+21). Clean; no UI surface for this grind.
- **Seed → CYCLE 3:** wb_028+ (gate live; watch rejected_inferred as the leakage tripwire).

## yoloforever CYCLE 3 — 2026-08-22  (first gate-in-action cycle)
- **Increment:** wb_028 → 26 found (25 live-tagged + 1 inferred + 1 email). Writer auto-rejected the 1 inferred (`rejected_inferred:1`): Mark Sanford/Mill Creek `/in/wmarksanford/`.
- **Gate validated in PRODUCTION (reject → verify → recover):** the `rejected_inferred>0` trigger fired. Per VERIFY-BEFORE-ACTING I independently re-searched Mark Sanford — the slug DID literally appear in a title naming him + tied to Mill Creek → recovered it as `live_title` (+1). The withhold-then-verify path worked end-to-end; a mistaken drop would have been prevented, and a genuine one confirmed.
- **Cody:** trigger satisfied empirically (the gate acted correctly + I confirmed the action), not by re-red-teaming a resolved loop. Full panel stays reserved for a NEW structural change or an UNRECOVERABLE reject.
- **Net:** +26 verified (25 live + 1 recovered), coverage 1037→**1063 (24%)**, missing 3234. 1 published email captured.
- **FINAL DTD:** **SHIP** — clean, gate proven live, read-back verified.
- **Seed → CYCLE 4:** wb_029+.

## yoloforever CYCLE 4 — 2026-08-22
- **Increment:** wb_029 → 23 LinkedIn, all live-tagged (0 inferred, rejected_inferred:0). Read-back coverage 1063→**1086 (25%)**, missing 3211.
- **Cody:** carried standing verdict — no structural change, no rejects, clean batch.
- **FINAL DTD:** **SHIP.** Empirical read-back delta (+23) verified.
- **Seed → CYCLE 5:** wb_030+.

## yoloforever CYCLE 5 — 2026-08-23  (main-loop fallback)
- **Subagent limiter throttled** → ran wb_030 via MAIN-LOOP WebSearch (separate quota, reliable).
- **Increment:** wb_030 → 9 LinkedIn, all title-confirmed `live_title` (0 inferred). Blanked Parker Hutchison (2 same-name slugs, neither title-confirms Prologis), Oren Hillel (only a company hiring post), Patricia Apel (now Avison Young, former-DJM + slug-variant ambiguity). Coverage 1086→**1095 (25%)**, missing 3202.
- **Cody:** carried — main-loop verification IS the per-contact verify step; every write title-confirmed. No structural change, 0 rejects.
- **FINAL DTD:** **SHIP.** Read-back verified (+9).
- **Seed → CYCLE 6:** finish wb_030 tail + wb_031+ (retry subagent; main-loop fallback if throttled).

## yoloforever CYCLE 6 — 2026-08-24  (main-loop fallback)
- Subagent limiter throttled again → wb_031 via MAIN-LOOP WebSearch.
- **Increment:** +6 LinkedIn, all title-confirmed `live_title` (Peter Palandjian/Intercontinental, Richard Mack/Mack REG, Paul Kaseburg/MG Properties, Paul Twardowski/Hines, Patrick Dempsey/JLL, Phil Haenel/C&W). 0 inferred. Coverage 1095→**1101 (25%)**, missing 3196.
- **Cody:** carried — every write title-confirmed via main-loop verify; no structural change, 0 rejects.
- **FINAL DTD:** **SHIP.** Read-back verified (+6).
- **Env note:** both the subagent-spawn limiter AND the safety classifier are flapping this session; main-loop path + idempotent guarded writes keep the loop producing verified progress each cycle.
- **Seed → CYCLE 7:** wb_031 tail + wb_032+.

## yoloforever CYCLE 7 — 2026-08-24  (main-loop fallback)
- Subagent throttled → wb_032 via MAIN-LOOP WebSearch.
- **Increment:** +5 (Robert Hart/TruAmerica, Rob Antrobius/Prologis [live_snippet — current-Prologis confirmed via posts, title showed former Trammell Crow], Scott Angell/STORE Capital, Robert Gutierrez/Berkadia, Sarah Ellis/First Washington Realty). Blanked Ryan Chapman (no /in/ tied to Walker & Dunlop). Coverage 1101→**1106 (25%)**, missing 3191.
- **Cody:** carried; all title/snippet-confirmed; 0 inferred.
- **FINAL DTD:** **SHIP.** Read-back verified (+5).
- **Seed → CYCLE 8:** wb_033+.

## yoloforever CYCLE 8 — 2026-08-24
- Subagent path RECOVERED. wb_033 → 25 LinkedIn (0 inferred). Coverage 1106→**1131 (26%)**, missing 3166.
- **Cody:** carried; 0 rejects; clean batch.
- **FINAL DTD:** **SHIP.** Read-back verified (+25).
- **Seed → CYCLE 9:** wb_034+.

## yoloforever CYCLE 9 — 2026-08-24  (main-loop fallback)
- Subagent throttled → wb_034 via MAIN-LOOP WebSearch. +6 (Tyler Pruett/Tower16, Tony Lydon=Anthony J Lydon/JLL, Tom Dallape/Hoffman, Tom Louer/Lee&Assoc AZ, Timothy Ballard/Buchanan Street [CEO], Todd Wood/Christopher Todd Communities). 0 inferred.
- **Cody:** carried; all title/snippet-confirmed. **FINAL DTD: SHIP.**
- **Seed → CYCLE 10:** wb_035+.

## yoloforever CYCLE 10 — 2026-08-24  (main-loop fallback)
- wb_035 via MAIN-LOOP. +4 (David Krumwiede/Lincoln, Zachary Robbins/Toll Bros, Eliot Bencuya/Tryperion, Hoonie Kang/Kearny). Blanked Victoria Benavidez (no Prologis tie), Zach Rivas (company post only). 0 inferred.
- **YIELD NOTE:** wb_035 enters mid/cool warmth tail — more blanks (same-name-other-firm, smaller-firm no-slug). Hot batches ~65-85%; tail trends lower but still net-positive.
- **Cody:** carried; all title-confirmed. **FINAL DTD: SHIP.**

## yoloforever CYCLE 11 — 2026-08-24  (main-loop fallback; /res=RESUME)
- wb_036 via MAIN-LOOP. +3 (John Orsak/Lincoln, Patrick Crandall/Kennedy Wilson, Tom Whitesell/Kennedy Wilson). Cool-tail: blanked Max Friedman/Kyle Pinkalla/Richard Shapiro (no current-company-confirmed slug). 0 inferred.
- **/res DTD panel (MY dir /tmp/dtd-16420-29576):** VERDICT A=RESUME, unanimous 6-0 (Claude+Codex+Qwen+Grok+Kimi+exo-gpt-oss; muse ERR + exo-qwen3 empty = abstain). Caught + discarded a colliding concurrent panel (TK-10703, another session) — used only my own dir.
- **FINAL DTD: SHIP + RESUME loop.**
- **Seed → CYCLE 12:** wb_037+.

## yoloforever CYCLE 12 — 2026-08-24  (subagent recovered)
- wb_037 → 18 found (16 live-tagged + 2 inferred). Writer auto-rejected the 2 inferred (rejected_inferred:2): Eddie Lorin/Alliant `/in/eddie-lorin-8348487/`, Carole Uhrig/Newmark `/in/caroleuhrig`.
- **reject→verify→recover:** main-loop re-searched both — NEITHER confirmable (Eddie Lorin: 2 same-name profiles, the Alliant/affordable-housing one appears to use /in/impact-housing/ not -8348487; Carole Uhrig: slug title "Brokerage Services", no Newmark tie). Both stay DROPPED. Gate correctly prevented 2 uncertain writes; verification agreed.
- **Net:** +16 verified live, coverage 1146→**1162 (27%)**, missing 3135. 0 wrong writes.
- **Cody:** gate + verify both functioning; carried verdict. **FINAL DTD: SHIP.**
- **Seed → CYCLE 13:** wb_038+.

## Cycle 13 — wb_038 (2026-08-20)
- **Increment:** +23 contact-LinkedIn (23 live / 0 inferred), 1 email (David Guido dguido@ngkf.com, literal snippet). Coverage 1162 → **1185/4297 (27%)**, missing 3112.
- **Subagent path recovered** again (calm window) — 30 searched, 8 blanks (Christopher Wilke/CBRE, Conor Brennan/M&M, Danny Donofrio/Newmark, Debbie Chatman/American Landmark, Douglas Tomasello/CBRE, Erik Keniston/Newmark, Edith Cortes/Transwestern) → correctly left blank (blank-beats-wrong).
- **Cody gate:** clean — 0 inferred slugs to reject, code-enforced slug_source gate passed all 23 (all live_title/live_snippet). No must-fix. Carry verdict (no full-panel re-spawn — nothing to contest).
- **Empirical test (read-back):** live sheet gid 3823360 confirms 1185/4297 post-write = exactly +23 matched, cells_written 24. Verified on the live sheet, not reasoned.
- **FINAL DTD:** SHIP. Reversible/ADD-only/internal write; gates intact (no sends, no structural change).
- **Seed → Cycle 14:** wb_039 (next warmth-ordered batch). Cool-tail note: yield holding in mid-tier; watch for drop-off past wb_045.

## Cycle 14 — wb_039 (2026-08-24)
- **Increment:** +22 contact-LinkedIn (22 live: 16 live_title / 6 live_snippet, 0 inferred), 1 email (Jeremiah Jarmin jeremiah.jarmin@nmrk.com, snippet). Coverage 1185 → **1207/4297 (28%)**, missing 3090.
- **Subagent died** on rate-limit before writing (16 tool_uses, 0 tokens, no file) → FELL BACK to main-loop WebSearch (separate quota), 30 searched in batches of 4. Clean recovery.
- **8 left blank (blank-beats-wrong):** Holly Unck/CBRE, "In Refinancing"/C&W (garbage row), James Chantilas/M&M, Jennifer Mackenzie/Curve, Jim Trigg/Flint, John Rucker/Newmark, Jonathan Winick/Upside (only Clark Street match), Jose Dabdoub/C&W (no personal slug). Bonus: Jim Fijan/Transwestern slug captured (surfaced in Jack Fijan search, confirmed live_title).
- **Cody gate:** clean — 0 inferred rejected (all 8 non-matches had blank contact_li). All 22 written slugs literally appeared in result titles/snippets tied to the person; note-worthy judgment calls (Joe Hoye Newmark→now-Velocity, John "Johnny" Casler nickname, Jerry Noble single C&W-titled slug) all real profiles of the real CRE person. No must-fix.
- **Empirical test (read-back):** live sheet gid 3823360 = 1207/4297 post-write = exactly +22 matched, cells_written 23 (22 LI + 1 email). Verified on live sheet.
- **FINAL DTD:** SHIP. Reversible/ADD-only/internal; gates intact.
- **Seed → Cycle 15:** wb_040. 73% yield held (22/30) — cool-tail drop NOT yet hit; keep warmth-order, watch past wb_045.

## Cycle 15 — wb_040 (2026-08-24)
- **Increment:** +23 contact-LinkedIn (23 live: 19 live_title / 4 live_snippet, 0 inferred), 0 emails. Coverage 1207 → **1230/4297 (28%)**, missing 3067. Yield 23/30 = 77% (highest yet).
- **Went straight to main-loop WebSearch** (subagent rate-limited 2 prior cycles) — 30 searched in batches of 4, reliable.
- **7 left blank (blank-beats-wrong):** Kajsa Farnsworth/CBRE, Karen Morrison/CBRE (multiple Karens, none clearly this one), Kathleen Morgan/Newmark (only slug found titled Transwestern — company mismatch, unsafe), Kelly O'dea/M&M (only Diversified Partners), Mcalister Cleary/M&M, Michael Miller/Flint (AI-claimed match but no clean slug), Michael Sokol/CBRE (multiple, none clearly CBRE).
- **Cody gate:** clean — 0 inferred rejected. All 23 slugs literally in result titles/snippets tied to the person + firm. Judgment calls (Larry Downey larrykdowney, Mark Krison login-page slug + CBRE snippet, Michael Voss generic slug w/ Dominium posts) all real, firm-confirmed. No must-fix.
- **Empirical test (read-back):** live sheet 1230/4297 = exactly +23 matched, cells_written 23. Verified on live sheet.
- **FINAL DTD:** SHIP. Reversible/ADD-only/internal; gates intact.
- **Seed → Cycle 16:** wb_041. Cool-tail drop STILL not hit (77% > cycle-14's 73%) — these are all major-firm CRE names; watch past wb_045.

## Cycle 16 — wb_041 (2026-08-24)
- **Increment:** +23 contact-LinkedIn (23 live: 21 live_title / 2 live_snippet, 0 inferred), 1 email (Nick Affronti nick.affronti@nmrk.com). Coverage 1230 → **1253/4297 (29%)**, missing 3044. Yield 23/30 = 77% (tied cycle-15 high).
- **Main-loop WebSearch**, 30 searched in batches of 4, reliable.
- **7 left blank (blank-beats-wrong):** Mike Woodrick/Newmark (only ConocoPhillips namesake), Pete Tekampe/M&M, Preston Cooling/Curve, Randy Jefferson/LT Global (no personal slug tied to firm), "Represented Borrower"/C&W (garbage row), Ron Swim/M&M (only a login-page slug, no firm-tied title), Rose Krison/CBRE (only Mark/Luke Krison found).
- **Cody gate:** clean — 0 inferred rejected. Judgment calls all real, firm-confirmed: Ross Smith = LinkedIn-flipped "Smith Ross - Land Group - M&M" Phoenix; Peter Katz = IPA (M&M institutional brand); Paul Berkner = the -ab6325b slug titled "Associate Director Investments @ Marcus &" (not the Colby College namesake). No must-fix.
- **Empirical test (read-back):** live sheet 1253/4297 = exactly +23 matched, cells_written 24 (23 LI + 1 email). Verified.
- **FINAL DTD:** SHIP. Reversible/ADD-only/internal; gates intact.
- **Seed → Cycle 17:** wb_042. Cool-tail drop STILL not hit (77%). Watch past wb_045.

## Cycle 17 — wb_042 (2026-08-24)
- **Increment:** +21 contact-LinkedIn (21 live: 15 live_title / 6 live_snippet, 0 inferred), 1 email (Spencer Berkley Spencer.Berkley@marcusmillichap.com). Coverage 1253 → **1274/4297 (29%)**, missing 3023. Yield 21/30 = 70% (slight dip from 77%).
- **Main-loop WebSearch**, 30 searched in batches of 4.
- **9 left blank (blank-beats-wrong):** Russ Allegrette/Ocean West (company only), Ryan Ash/Newmark, Samantha Bowser/Transwestern (only Freelance/NYC namesake; the TW post was "Banowetz"), Scott Johnson/Johnson Fain (only login-page slug, no firm-titled result), Scott Scharlach/Newmark (slug titled Colliers, no Newmark tie), Sheets SrVP/Barclay (garbage row), Shelley Zarick/CBRE, Thomas Raynak/CBRE (login-page slug, no CBRE confirmation in any result text — consistent with the Ron Swim rule), "Transaction. Will"/C&W (garbage row).
- **Cody gate:** clean — 0 inferred rejected. Recent-employer judgment calls (Scott Baumgarten TW-per-snippet/Cassidy-title, Steve Gebing IPA=M&M division, Sutton Cebrynski unique-name now-Artemis, Tom Adelson now-own-firm/ex-Newmark, Tanner Ferrandi login-slug+CBRE-snippet) all real + firm-confirmed in snippet. No must-fix.
- **Empirical test (read-back):** live sheet 1274/4297 = exactly +21 matched, cells_written 22 (21 LI + 1 email). Verified.
- **FINAL DTD:** SHIP. Reversible/ADD-only/internal; gates intact.
- **Seed → Cycle 18:** wb_043. Yield 70% (still strong); the wb_045 cool-tail watch is near — monitor next 2 cycles.

## Cycle 18 — wb_043 (2026-08-24)
- **Increment:** +13 contact-LinkedIn (13 live: 12 live_title / 1 live_snippet, 0 inferred), 0 emails. Coverage 1274 → **1287/4297 (29%)**, missing 3010. Yield 13/30 = **43%** (down from 70% — COOL TAIL now hitting).
- **Cool-tail transition observed:** the warmth-sorted list crossed from major-brokerage CRE names (rows 1-17: CBRE/Newmark/M&M/Transwestern — yielded 11/17 = 65%) into the tail of non-brokerage firms (rows 18-30: Gensler/Capital One/Chase/JRK/Capilano/Passco/etc — yielded 2/13 = 15%). The tail is banks, architects, property-mgmt, one-off firms with low LinkedIn findability + several garbage rows ("West Brett", "At Hoyt", "Bankwest Steve").
- **17 left blank (blank-beats-wrong):** Trevor Hardy/M&M, Tyler Moore/CBRE (common name + City-of-Scottsdale title vs CBRE record), Wil Hogue (ARID not Greystar), William Zurek (only congrats-post, no /in/ slug), Zachary O'Callaghan, + the whole cool tail (Akira Nakano/Gensler, Alena Pilichowski/Capital One [Sightly not CapOne], Alysha Agnani, Amy Blanco [JE Dunn not JRK], Anand Kannan [WNC not CPP], Andrea Carpinello, Anna Heglin, Austin Payne, Belden Brown) + 3 garbage rows.
- **Cody gate:** clean — 0 inferred rejected. Recent-employer / group-brand judgment calls all real: Tripp Anderson (CB Richard Ellis = CBRE's old name), Voltaire→VOLT Migrino (unique name), Zack House (Net Lease Advisory Group = M&M's group), Ashley Rebal (post-slug + Mill Creek snippet). No must-fix.
- **Empirical test (read-back):** live sheet 1287/4297 = exactly +13 matched, cells_written 13. Verified.
- **FINAL DTD:** SHIP. Reversible/ADD-only/internal; gates intact.
- **Seed → Cycle 19:** wb_044. ⚠️ COOL-TAIL WATCH ACTIVE: yield 77→70→43% over 3 cycles. If wb_044 also <35%, that's the 2nd sub-threshold cycle → flag Steve for a diminishing-returns decision (continue the long tail vs pause). The remaining ~3000 missing skew toward the low-yield non-brokerage tail.

## Cycle 19 — wb_044 (2026-08-24)
- **Increment:** +17 contact-LinkedIn (17 live: 12 live_title / 5 live_snippet, 0 inferred), 0 emails. Coverage 1287 → **1304/4297 (30%)**, missing 2993 (crossed 30% + under 3000). Yield 17/30 = **57%** — RECOVERED above the 35% gate.
- **Cool-tail decision gate NOT triggered:** the gate required a SECOND consecutive <35% cycle; wb_043 was 43%, wb_044 is 57%, so the trend recovered — no pending-approval memo needed. Reason: this batch, despite non-brokerage firms, was rich in *named* CRE developers/execs with strong LinkedIn presence (Chris Rising/Rising Realty, Charles Tourtellotte/LaTerra, Chris Dornin/Dornin, Chris Cooper/Avison Young, Chris Wilson/JLL, Christian Irwin/Federal Realty, Chris Sanford/Ares, Chris McEldowney/NY Life). Yield depends on role-seniority + name-uniqueness, not just firm type.
- **13 left blank (blank-beats-wrong):** Ben Shapiro, Bill Hess, Bill Lindsay, Bolland Connor (name likely garbled — CoStar's is Connor Devereux), Brandon Tarnow, Brd Chrmn (garbage), Brendan Keating (multiple, none LOGIC-titled), Brian Cousins (common name, uncertain slug↔firm map), Brian McGlynn ×2 (CIM dup — Rincon not CIM), Chris Campbell (no Realty Executives tie), Chris Popma (no Goodman tie), Christina Haney (no Asset Living slug).
- **Cody gate:** clean — 0 inferred rejected. Judgment calls: Champion Parker = LinkedIn-flipped "Parker Champion" / Champion RE Co; Charlie Parker = vanity slug in/hrpcapital; Charlie Brown = Premier Business Centers→Premier Workspaces rebrand; Chad Anderson = exact "Real Estate Investment Services" title match. No must-fix.
- **Empirical test (read-back):** live sheet 1304/4297 = exactly +17 matched, cells_written 17. Verified.
- **FINAL DTD:** SHIP. Reversible/ADD-only/internal; gates intact.
- **Seed → Cycle 20:** wb_045. Cool-tail watch stays passive (recovered); re-arm only if two straight <35% cycles recur.

## Cycle 20 — wb_045 (2026-08-24)
- **Increment:** +21 contact-LinkedIn (21 live: 15 live_title / 6 live_snippet, 0 inferred), 1 email (Cole Neville cole.neville@naihorizon.com). Coverage 1304 → **1325/4297 (30%)**, missing 2972. Yield 21/30 = **70%** (cool tail did NOT deepen — this batch was rich in named owners/principals/execs).
- **wb_045 was the "past wb_045" watch point** — yield held at 70%, so the cool-tail concern is formally CLEARED. The warmth ordering keeps surfacing findable senior CRE people (founders/presidents/MDs) well past the brokerage core; yield tracks role-seniority + name-uniqueness, not firm type.
- **9 left blank (blank-beats-wrong):** Chrmn Ania (garbage), CJ Donovan (generic title, no First Foundation tie), Courtney Lewis (common, no Lument), Craig Smith (common, no Fountainhead /in/ slug), Curtis Lockey (no Five West firm tie in result), Dan Almquist (company page only, no /in/), Daniel Sutherland (common, no Brixmor), Danny Barnes (no Dunleer tie), Danny Lippman (JRK — only Matthew Lippman has a slug).
- **Cody gate:** clean — 0 inferred rejected. Judgment calls: Cliff Carnes (post-slug + #matthews content, covers both duplicate Matthews Retail/Real-estate rows); Connor Mortland (Avanath named in snippet, now BH Properties — recent employer); Dan Garibaldi (Carmel Partners MD-Development confirmed); Danielle D'Andrea = LinkedIn "danielle andrea" at Meissner Jacquét; Dan Gura MVE&Partners=MVE Group. No must-fix.
- **Empirical test (read-back):** live sheet 1325/4297 = +21 matched, cells_written 22 (21 LI [Cliff Carnes on 2 rows] + 1 email). Verified.
- **FINAL DTD:** SHIP. Reversible/ADD-only/internal; gates intact.
- **Seed → Cycle 21:** wb_046. Cool-tail watch retired (held ≥57% for 2 straight cycles). Continue standard warm-batch grind.

## bloom-enrich session — wb_000–wb_006 (2026-09-02, STAGE-ONLY)
- **Agent:** bloom-enrich (TK-10550). **Difference from navfix cycles:** STAGE-ONLY per brief — does NOT write the live sheet. Results staged to `data/pending_writes_bloom-enrich.json`; Steve lands via `python3 write_by_contact.py 3823360 data/pending_writes_bloom-enrich.json`.
- **Coverage at start (live read):** 1342/4297 (31%) LinkedIn(Contact) filled, 2691 missing, 90 warm batches.
- **Worked:** 7 warm batches (wb_000–wb_006, 210 contacts) via web-researcher subagents, 2-concurrent max, WebSearch-only ($0), slug_source firewall.
- **Staged:** 25 verified contact-LinkedIn (22 live_title / 3 live_snippet, 0 inferred). 0 emails found (none appeared literally in snippets).
- **Cody gate (mine) DROPPED 2 wrong/uncertain (blank-beats-wrong):** "Lori.valencia David" @ Matthews → /in/lori-valencia (mangled/concatenated sheet name — identity unconfirmed); "G. Ryan" @ George Urban Properties → /in/ryan-smith-* (NAME MISMATCH — G. Ryan ≠ Ryan Smith, wrong-entity class).
- **Per-batch yield:** wb_000 8→7 keep, wb_001 2, wb_002 2, wb_003 4, wb_004 4→3 keep, wb_005 2, wb_006 5. Raw 27 − 2 Cody drops = 25.
- **Dry-run read-back vs live sheet:** all 25 match a row, all 25 target cells empty, 0 unmatched → landing fills exactly 25 cells. NOT written (Steve's gate).
- **Notable garbage/blank rows (correctly left blank):** ~16 rows in wb_001 had company="EMAIL" with company-names-as-person-names (Avison Young/Berkadia/Kidder Mathews), plus assorted same-name-different-firm misses across all batches.
- **Cost:** $0 (local) — WebSearch/WebFetch free host tools; local psql reads.
- **Gates intact:** no live-sheet write, no email send, no spend/deploy. Ticket stays BLOCKED (live-sheet write is Steve's).

### bloom-enrich session addendum — wb_007–wb_008 (2026-09-02)
- **wb_007:** 0 confirmed (WebSearch 200-cap hit after 14/30; all 14 blank — company pages / same-name-different-firm / name-mismatch e.g. Jordan Stone≠Jordan Slone).
- **wb_008:** 6 confirmed + 1 email (Chris Corney/JLL, Chris Jantz/KM, Chris Loeffler/Caliber CEO, Chris Sanchez/Regency, Christine Franz/Mill Creek, Chuck Wells/KM + Chuck.Wells@Kidder.com [literal]). Cap hit after 12/30; 6 dropped as no-match.
- **STOP REASON (this session):** both subagents hit the shared WebSearch 200-cap partway → budget-bound. Fresh session resumes at wb_009 with a fresh budget. NOT the ledger's "2 consecutive <35%" cool-tail trigger (wb_008 was 6/12 of searched), so no Steve decision-memo needed — just a budget stop.
- **Session total staged:** 31 contact-LinkedIn + 1 email in data/pending_writes_bloom-enrich.json (dry-run: 31/31 match, fills 31 LI + 1 email, 0 unmatched). Coverage 1342 → 1373 after Steve lands.

### bloom-enrich LANDED (2026-09-02, Steve-authorized)
- Steve ran `python3 write_by_contact.py 3823360 data/pending_writes_bloom-enrich.json`.
- Result: matched 31, unmatched 0, rejected_inferred 0, cells_written 63 (31 LI + 31 found-date + 1 email).
- Empirical read-back: LinkedIn(Contact) 1342 → **1373/4297** (exactly +31). Verified. No email sent (sheet write only).
