Is anything happening, and does it need me?

Claude is working — 10 days in.

I am in a working conversation with Alyssa right now.

Needs you

41 things are waiting on you.

Release 122 is live (back-arrow history keys). One small call is left: a go or hold on a small release for one older skip-link problem (the skip link’s own history entry, register row 11.28), which is recorded and not started.

When the next release goes is yours to decide.

The other 40 things waiting on you
  • AlyssaSuper Admin “View as” is live (release 119). Two small calls when you like: (1) the “npm run deploy:fly” script still asks Fly’s own builder, which runs out of memory; a one-line change to build on this Mac would match every release since 109. (2) The four scratch databases from the build and the superseded working copy are kept until you say to remove them. Also yours: look at it once on production, signed in as your Super Admin, with “View as” beside your name on any MK11 manager page.Changing the deploy script and removing the scratch copies are your calls; nobody here holds your Super Admin password, so only you can do the live look.
  • AlyssaThe question bank is LIVE (release 115 since 1:08 PM ET Oct 25; release 116 since 2:08 PM ET adds the exact clock time on a timed exam's start page, in your wording, so your sentence question is closed). Still yours: (1) the manual edition with the question-bank section and five changed sentences (pictures are shot, edition not built); (2) the stage 2 questions (supporting documents) and stage 3 questions (new question types). For a person: a phone-width look at the live bank, and three small flags (one exam item's wording, a reader footnote's client name, empty Library thumbnails). Optional notes from the accessibility officer on the new start page: a privacy browser that hides its time zone would show a wrong clock time (a few extra words could cover it), and the Share button may move up a line a second after the page loads.Which stage comes next, and any extra wording learners read, are yours to decide.
  • AlyssaTwo small choices on interview practice, neither blocking: (1) who sees it. Today it is any learner account linked to a staff account (managers). (2) MK11's real job listing text, so the candidates can be written to match the actual role. The What's New post about it is done (posted 11:52 AM ET on your word), and the MK11 manual now has the interview steps. One manual page (111) still says Maya; the working session that owns the manual will retake it.Who sees a feature is yours to decide.
  • AlyssaApple Mac rebuild ("2.0"): walk the Apple version with the test guide handed to you at about 3:02 PM. All ten checks are done and your ruling on the browser walks is in. After your walk, pick a switch-over day (none is picked).You defined finished as the Apple version passing every proof and being handed to you to test; a later switch-over day makes it official. The live portal is now release 125 (the empty-quiz lockout fix, since 5:49 PM ET Nov 3; releases 123 and 124 went live in between and are not described here). The last release this note describes is release 122 (release 118, then 119 Super Admin View as, 120 larger text, 121 avatars on the manager side, 122 back-arrow history keys; release 118 was release 116 plus the back-arrow fix as 117 and Grid Map’s light mode as 118): the release 112 build (108 plus the BOLT role plays, the interview role plays, the two name fixes, the back arrows and the Team strip) plus the question bank and the exam clock-time wording. The eight held 2.0 fixes that briefly went live inside release 113 on Oct 24 were rolled back at 4:25 PM ET that day and are NOT in release 115. All of the held 2.0 release stays on hold.
  • AlyssaGames and practice audit: six proposals, none applied. (1) Stop games serving questions retired after a fact-check (a shared change with a test). (2) Retire 20 weak questions (trivia about page layout, list order and one sample bill). (3) Rewrite 3 word cards that are exam answers. (4) Add scenario practice so exam ideas are used in situations, not recited. Practice also needs questions for the two new lessons.Changing questions a live client's learners see needs your OK item by item.
  • AlyssaExam readiness: a learner who studied only the old lessons could count on 14 of 28 questions (pass mark 23). The Google Doc of 11 questions for MK11 (mock bills, rate answers, contract terms, the 4 W's conflict) is written and not shared; only you send it.Only you can send it to the client.
  • AlyssaTwo things are approved but not deployed and wait on your separate deploy word: Library round 2 and the exam recording upload fix. Your 2.0 hold stands.Nothing goes live without your word.
  • AlyssaLibrary round 2 is final and with the release session as the release candidate; it is NOT live. When it is this line's turn the release session will ask for your deploy word (the one database change, 0081, goes first, then the deploy). Nothing for you to do until it asks.Nothing goes live without your separate word.
  • AlyssaOptional leftover look items on Library round 2, none being built: (1) the 'Upload as a draft' button wraps unevenly and could wrap as 'Upload as / a draft'. Three older flaws on the learner reading page at phone width, not from this work: (2) the coin icon sits over the logo, (3) a stray dot after 'Download Word file', (4) a missing space in 'Open the PDF (new tab)'.Each changes how something looks, so it waits on your pick.
  • AlyssaAdmin unlock (your item 166) is built, your OK for the database change (0082) is carried out, and the design critic passed it. It is handed to the release session as a candidate after Library round 2. It is not live. What it needs now is your deploy word, which the release session asks for; 0082 goes onto production only then. Four small look picks (three UP NEXT badges after an unlock, naming the module in the notice, the Unlock buttons following each title, the plain dark outline buttons' faint edge) are questions only; nothing changes until you pick.A deploy and a production database change are yours to authorize; nothing in the design moves without your approval.
  • AlyssaRelease 108 is live for MK11 (107 plus group announcements), checked signed out only. Please walk the pages yourself, signed in: as a learner (the Library in the menu: 14 documents are loaded but Admins only, so a learner sees none until Riley widens one), as an Admin (the staff Library, Structure, What's New, the Admin seats line on Learners), as a Mentor and as an Admin (post an announcement to a group and to everyone, and check a learner sees the right ones), and on the S3 desk take a test exam and review the recording and flags. I could not sign in: this Mac's Chrome has no saved MK11 login, and until a signed-in page renders, one safety check inside the page code is unproven on this build.Only you hold the logins, and a signed-in page is the only proof the new pages work for a real person.
  • AlyssaYour own demo learner on MK11 (the Alyssa Factory demo account) is deactivated on the live site, so you cannot walk the learner pages as yourself. Reactivating it is a production change (it stays out of seat counts and client reports).A learner walk is the only way to prove the Library and the learner pages for a real person.
  • AlyssaDave's Super Admin account: his MK11 Admin sign-in address is already in use, and a Super Admin is a separate account that needs a different sign-in address (a plus-style variant of his address is suggested). Your ruling that his Admin row stays unchanged still holds.Who gets staff-level access to every client portal is yours to name.
  • AlyssaMessages: Admins already see every learner's thread, Mentors' included, and each staff reply names who wrote it, so nothing needed building for that part of your ask. A proposal only, not built: show an 'Answered by' name on each row of the inbox.It adds something to a page staff use daily, so it is your call.
  • AlyssaThree follow-ups from the exam recorder's security review (nothing Critical or High): the recorder stores a whole-screen recording under MK11's key for 30 days, so anything else on a Super Admin's screen during a test sitting is kept too. Proposed: a 'close other windows' line on the sitting's start screen, a shorter keep time for S3 recordings, and a rule that keeps them out of any future tenant export.Retention and what a recording may contain are your calls.
  • AlyssaShould the 'Show link' button appear for an Admin invite that was already emailed? Today it does, and it is live in release 106.It changes what an Admin can see and do with an invite.
  • AlyssaLook at the pictures for the Structure view, the What's New board and Admin seats, and approve or send each back. They are live since release 106; the Library's pictures were reviewed on the night of Oct 22 against your Gold Shelf picks.Design changes and client-facing posts need your approval item by item.
  • AlyssaAdding learners in bulk is limited to 10 invite links per 15 minutes. Keep that limit, or raise it?It changes how a client can use the portal, so it is your call.
  • AlyssaSend MK11 the updated question Doc (Part 8). It asks for the sample First Energy and Enbridge bills and for their answer on four exam questions the exam cannot check by itself. Until they reply, the exam goes live with a bill placeholder and those four questions are marked by an Admin.Only you can send it to the client.
  • AlyssaNothing to read yet. The glossary summaries will come to you once the re-run trial finishes; nothing goes live and the full run (about $0.95) does not start until you approve them.Content for learners needs your read first.
  • AlyssaInternal staff access is live. You and Dave each still need to run the one-time set-up commands you were given; until then neither of you has it.Only you can run them.
  • AlyssaThe Help step pictures are blocked for you after two send-backs: two guides point at the wrong heading, one uses a British word, and some pictures are cut off. Also open from the accessibility sets: the typing game printing the answer, and whether the tour card may cover the Reader menu.The design-loop rule: after repeated send-backs a person decides.
  • AlyssaPossible live defects found this week, not fixed because they touch design: native radio buttons on Series 65 dark quizzes probably draw light; the Series 65 light '30 minutes' badge reads 3.87 to 1 where 4.5 is needed; some Series 65 filled buttons use white text in light mode.Dark-mode and design changes need your OK.
  • AlyssaThe checklist copy belongs to the other Claude account and cannot be edited from this one. To keep it current, share it with edit access from the first account.Only you can change who can edit it.
  • AlyssaThe sign-out fix is stopped at two strikes. One test keeps failing because the portal resets the form after a failed network submit, so a learner's choices would be lost. How should that case behave?The two-strike rule: a person decides before more variations are tried. The first part is committed.
  • AlyssaReview the accessibility fix pictures as they arrive: the nine visible fixes, shown before and after. Release 93 now lists the known problems on every portal's accessibility statement, which you approved.Design changes need your approval item by item; nothing changes until you say.
  • AlyssaMK11's practice questions have their right answer as A 47 times, B 39, C 33 and D 15 out of 134, so a learner who always guesses A would score 35%. The shuffle tool exists.It is a content change to a live client.
  • AlyssaRole-play speed. Pick from the five options in the write-up; options 1 and 3 together should reach about 2 seconds at no extra cost. Also fix two money-tracking gaps (a kind of AI charge not counted, and one model price that may be out of date)?Option 2 means a blind listening test and a small test spend.
  • AlyssaThe laptop disk is at 98% (about 12 GB free at 12:42 AM). It filled completely on Oct 19 and stopped Docker; four finished working copies were removed with your OK. Watch it, and say if you want more cleared.Removing anything beyond the finished copies needs your word.
  • AlyssaTie every login pass to a session record. Today a pass carries no session number, so ending a session does not kill a pass that was already issued; it runs out on its own within about 15 minutes. During the 30 days the old signing key was exposed, someone holding the leaked package could have made passes. That key is replaced, so none can be made now, but tying passes to sessions would close the whole class.It changes the protected sign-in code, so it needs your approval before anyone designs it.
  • AlyssaA look-back through the leak window, September 13 to October 13. Nobody has checked the activity log and documents for actions by someone who is not a real learner or manager, or the file-storage access log for outside reads. Until that is done, nobody can say whether the leak was used.It reads production records, so it needs your yes, and it should be done once.
  • AlyssaMove this week's new security tests into the protected security tests area, and add the new safe-destination, portal-asset and release-check files to the list of areas that need your review.That widens what is protected, which only you can approve.
  • AlyssaThis public board used to say, in plain words, that the leaked keys had not been replaced. That is corrected now, but the board is public and records security history. Put it behind a Cloudflare sign-in, or stop publishing security entries here.It is your account and your call on who can read it.
  • AlyssaMerge call on PR #1 (asked by the CI session). The branch was pushed this morning and the CI session reports the pull request's checks green; whether to merge is yours.Merging the repository's main line is yours to decide.
  • AlyssaHousekeeping on the laptop: the working file still holds the old values of the three session keys, and a backup file holds the old database password. Both open nothing now.Deleting your backup is your call.
  • AlyssaThe light-mode color for the lit Cleveland sign: Daylight Blue, Marquee Amber or Signal Pink. Today the lit sign is nearly invisible in light mode.A taste choice; all three measured readable.
  • AlyssaTwo laptop-only test passwords were printed into a work session by mistake on Oct 12, and Dave's one-time sign-up link passed through the same session on Oct 13. No live account was exposed. Replacing the test passwords and re-issuing Dave's link are both recommended.Rotating a login is your call.
  • AlyssaThe automatic secret-scan does not run by itself before every save, the way the rules say it should; a fix is proposed and waiting on your yes.Turning on a check that runs before every save is your call.
  • AlyssaTwo small board tests still fail on a clean copy of the code — how a "no reading yet" voice card reads, and the color contrast on two calendar squares. Neither came from today's work.Needs a decision on whether these get fixed now or wait.
  • AlyssaMike's Series 65 sign-in has not been checked since the recent changes.Only an actual login proves it still works.
