## The ladder

| ID | Role |
| --- | --- |
| `q-2026-07-16-03fc70` | PARENT: batch-16 forward-pass, full plan roll-up. |
| `q-2026-07-16-b9691c` | STEP 1: discovery via `fetch_channel_top.py --seed https://youtu.be/6rZVAdKBH9I --order recent --top 32 --slug chironintuition-batch16` through the polite gate. Filter, emit `_batch16.json`. |
| slot 1/16 through 16/16 | Each slot pulls the first `status=queued` entry from `_batch16.json`, renders via `build_tencard.py`, ships via /ship. Blocked on discovery until manifest exists. |

## Standing hard gates in force

- `feedback_one_at_a_time_no_bulk_complete` — one render per pass.
- `feedback_youtube_fetch_politeness_hard_gate` — every fetch through `yt_polite.py`.
- `feedback_chiron_tencard_2x5_rolling_window_hard_gate` — 2x5 FIFO layout only.
- `feedback_chiron_tracker_strict_voice_and_render_rules` — NEEDS VERIFY on every fresh sourceaudio render.

## How to watch the ladder

`python3 ~/.claude/skills/no-quit-shift/queue.py status` shows current slot state. As slots progress through the shift states, this plan page updates on next redeploy. The tracker at [chiron-video-tracker](https://drwu-htmls.vercel.app/chiron-video-tracker) reflects each finished render inline within the tencard-count section.
