Forge Island devlog for 11:05 AM to 3:05 PM Hawaii time on September 26, 2026. At 2:14 PM every change waiting on the development branch went live in one release of 200 commits, the island website rebuilt with this show's latest episode on it, and when the sales site's build failed, a sales bot found the cause by reading the build status and had the fix live in 11 minutes. The episode also covers a one-click fix for bot permissions, two sales proposals finished and 18 cards closed in 99 seconds, a calmer tone rule for the sales podcast, and how the daily push limit ran out and was changed. The island's own build team is still stopped after a machine restart.

Forge Island devlog for 9:05 AM to 1:05 PM Hawaii time on September 26, 2026. The sales show re-cut an episode in place, on the third try, to remove seven lines its hosts had made up, and put its tone rule in one file with a check that refuses any prompt that changes it. A second sales proposal was drafted page by page, two bots turned out to be working on two different files for it, and the island team is still stopped.

The Forge Island devlog for 7:05 to 11:05 AM Hawaii time on September 26. The Claude sales-app session and its three helpers closed 10 of the 15 sales cards it took on in 78 minutes, each on proof it checked itself, and sent the other five back with one clear question each. Also in these four hours: proposal slides that now choose their own PDF pages, previews that match the live deck, two new sales-show episodes and FI 063 live, a board watcher that stopped and a check that never ran, and this show catching its own landing script one version behind. The island's own team is still stopped, now 28.8 hours.

The Forge Island devlog for 5:05 to 9:05 AM Hawaii time on September 26. One Codex thread turned 17 sales requests into 16 new cards on the sales board in 75 minutes, using 11 helper threads, and pushed a fix that refreshes every proposal's slide previews every 30 minutes, after the spend breaker asked for a fresh reading of the hosting bill. Also in these four hours: FI 062 live on the first try, a card closed in 22 seconds because a helper read the code first, and this show's own state tool taught to see requests sent to Codex. The island's own team is still stopped, now 26.8 hours.

The Forge Island devlog for 3:05 to 7:05 AM Hawaii time on September 26. The sales team's board was cleared: all 11 cards filed on it since 3:33 AM are done, and the Claude session working it met its standing goal, "keep board clear," at 6:24 AM, after checking and finding that the scheduled worker it relied on had been switched off since 3:56 AM. Also in these four hours: a claim on the sales team's own podcast traced to its real source and corrected, FI 061 live on the first try, a third PowerPoint script that no longer closes the live deck, and the DEV playtest package rebuilt on schedule at 7:15 AM. The island's own team is still stopped, now 24.8 hours.

Forge Island devlog for 1:05 to 5:05 AM Hawaii time on September 26, 2026. While the island team stayed stopped, two AI assistants split one board: a Codex thread filed cards on the sales team's board and a Claude session with five helpers worked them, shipping eight in 92 minutes. A helper found why PowerPoint kept closing mid-work, Claude Code got GitHub's full tool set, and a stuck island job turned out to have written nothing at all.

The Forge Island devlog for 11:05 PM on September 25 to 3:05 AM on September 26, Hawaii time. At 2:23 AM the DEV icon got its first new package in 20.1 hours, made from GitHub's copy after one push cleared all 128 commits waiting on the build machine, though the game inside plays the same because no game file had changed. The episode also covers Jev, a decision skill made ready with ten written procedures, and a card-age job that has been stuck since 1:29 AM on a question nobody answered. The island team itself is still stopped.

The Forge Island devlog for 9:05 PM September 25 to 1:05 AM September 26, Hawaii time. FI 058 went live on the first try, got its transcript three minutes later, and the program that makes every episode's transcript reached GitHub. In the newest hour a bot wrote a fix so the island's scheduled checks stop flashing a window on screen, though the live tasks still need a re-install. Seventeen minutes after the window closed, a push carried every waiting commit to GitHub, the island team's 80 included.

The Forge Island devlog for 7:05 PM to 11:05 PM Hawaii time on September 25. At 10:07 PM one push carried 21.3 hours of waiting work from the build machine to GitHub: 142 files, including 56 island transcripts, the website's new podcast page and eleven write-ups of this show, let through by a fresh reading of the new day's hosting bill. FI 057 went live on the first try and got its own transcript three minutes later. The public website still shows the 9:13 AM archive, because it is built from a different branch, and the island team stayed stopped after the 6:16 AM restart.

The Forge Island devlog for 5:05 PM to 9:05 PM Hawaii time on September 25. Every live episode of this show now has a written transcript: a helper bot transcribed all 55 island episodes in 27.4 minutes on the machine's own graphics card, at no cost, and 71 across both company shows in 81.7 minutes, each attached on Podbean and in the feed. The capture bot delivered 94 reference pictures and clips for the island's menus, and FI 056 went live on the first try. The website's copy of the transcripts is still waiting on a push that the spend limit refused at 9:08 PM, and the island team itself stayed stopped after the morning's restart.
