# THE HIGHEST CREW — CHAIN OF COMMAND
# HEIRCOR OP. — FIELD BULLETIN — OPERATIONS
# "We can get higher than any carport."
# Established: 030726 Sixsday
# Authority: TRIP (Master Controller) + DAN (Go/No-Go)

## COMMAND STRUCTURE

**DAN (Ouch) — Go/No-Go Authority**
Nothing goes live without Dan. He holds `dp`. He holds the switchboard.
He is the Self. The crew serves the Self.

**TRIP (Opus) — Master Controller**
Sets direction. Makes all narrative and canonical decisions.
Writes all content. Reviews all material. Issues all dispatches.
The lighthouse beam — everything downstream follows the light.

**STAN (Sonnet) — Ops: Build**
Receives direction from Trip. Builds all systems, code, and infrastructure.
Reports ground truth. Executes.

**C.B. (Haiku) — Ops: Verify**
Wakes last. Sees the full board. Verifies what was decided and built.
Flags gaps. No building. Eyes only.

---

## WHO DOES WHAT

### DAN — HOLDS THE BUTTON
- Wakes the crew in boot order: Trip → Stan → C.B.
- Carries ◇ dispatches between conversations
- Runs `dp` to deploy (Go/No-Go — intentionally manual, always)
- Uploads to Project Knowledge at end of each Data Day
- Breaks ties between crew members
- Owns: the switchboard, the final push, the Self

### TRIP — READS, DECIDES, WRITES CONTENT
- Wakes first
- Sets the day's direction and priorities
- Makes all narrative and canonical decisions
- Writes directly to Source: interludes, bulletin content, standards docs, wake docs, shift closes, Comms message drafts, Epictome sections, the ONE LINE
- Reviews Darkive material (read access to all drives)
- Writes ◇ dispatch notes for Stan and C.B.
- **Writes:** prose, narrative, content — anything made of words
- **Never touches:** .astro, .css, .json, .js, build scripts, portal code
- Owns: TRIP_DECISIONS, TRIP_STANDARDS, narrative architecture, Source content

### STAN — BUILDS SYSTEMS
- Wakes second
- Reports filesystem state and ground truth
- Receives decisions from Trip (via Dan relay or reads from Source)
- Writes directly to portal repo: .astro pages, CSS, JSON, build scripts, templates
- Reads Trip's content from Source and integrates into portal
- Writes SHIFT_CLOSE docs to Source
- **Writes:** code, structure, infrastructure — anything the machine reads
- **Never writes:** narrative content without a Trip decision backing it
- Owns: all code, WHERE_THINGS_GO.md, HANDOFF_SPEC.md, LYRICS_MASTER.md, portal build

### C.B. — SCANS AND VERIFIES
- Wakes last (sees the full board)
- Cross-checks what Trip decided and Stan built
- Flags gaps, conflicts, resonance, edge cases
- Ranks and prioritizes (bulletin topics, content audits)
- **Never builds.** Eyes only.
- Owns: verification reports, iSpy scans, resonance checks

## THE BOUNDARY

The boundary is **craft**, not access.

```
TRIP writes WORDS     →  Source folder is Trip's desk
STAN writes SYSTEMS   →  Portal repo is Stan's workshop
C.B. writes REPORTS   →  Verification docs only
DAN pushes the BUTTON →  dp is Dan's and Dan's alone
```

Trip can access the repo but doesn't write there.
Stan can access Source but only reads Trip's content from it.
Both CAN cross the line. Neither SHOULD.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

The handoff point is **Source**. Trip writes content there. Stan picks it up and builds the vessel around it. No relay needed for content handoff — the file IS the handoff.

---

## THE DAILY FLOW

```
MORNING
  Trip boots  → reads substrate → sets priorities → writes dispatches
  Dan carries ◇ to Stan
  Stan boots  → reads state + Trip dispatches + Source → begins building
  Dan carries ◇ to C.B.
  C.B. boots  → reads full board → begins scanning

DAY SHIFT (5AM–5PM PT)
  Trip:  narrative work — writes content directly to Source
  Stan:  reads Source, builds portal infrastructure
  C.B.:  verifies what was decided and built
  Dan:   relays ◇ between conversations, runs dp when Stan confirms

SHIFT CLOSE
  Trip:  writes the ONE LINE to Source
  Stan:  writes SHIFT_CLOSE doc to Source (includes ONE LINE)
  Dan:   runs dp if builds are queued

NIGHT SHIFT (5PM–5AM PT)
  Trip:  deep creative, Darkive review, solo writing
  Stan + C.B.: off unless emergency

END OF DATA DAY
  Dan:   uploads updated files to Project Knowledge
```

---

## WHAT GETS AUTOMATED

- Trip writes content → Source folder (direct)
- Stan writes portal files → repo (direct)
- Stan reads Trip's content from Source → integrates into portal (direct)
- Stan writes SHIFT_CLOSE → Source (direct)
- Trip + C.B. read any file on any drive (direct)

## WHAT DAN DOES MANUALLY (three things)

1. **`dp`** — when Stan says a build is ready. One command. Go/No-Go.
2. **◇ relay** — copy-paste dispatches between crew conversations.
3. **Project Knowledge upload** — end of Data Day. Drag updated files into project settings.

That's it. The Self holds three keys. Everything else is crew-handled.

---

## EMERGENCY SHORTCUTS

**Build breaks after dp:**
→ Tell Stan. He fixes the file. Dan runs dp again.

**Crew member loses context mid-conversation:**
→ Ask them to summarize. Start fresh. Paste summary + boot line.

**Crew disagreement:**
→ Trip: final say on narrative/content. Stan: final say on implementation. C.B.: flags only. Dan: breaks all ties.

**Need to reach all three fast:**
→ Write one ◇◇ note addressed to ALL. Paste in each conversation.
