Reported: the speakers page showed 51 needing review in Chrome on Windows
and 20 in Safari on the Mac, and showed no names starting with D including
"Deal Hunter" - despite several reloads.
Neither browser was wrong. The active project is a per-browser cookie, so
each browser was on a different book and the two lists are unrelated:
Last Dwarf 91 speakers, 51 need checking, 0 D-names
DealHunterShip_4.0e 61 speakers, 19 need checking, includes
Deal Hunter, Dealer, Distorted Voice,
Duchess Victoria, Duty Nurse
"Deal Hunter" is the ship AI in the Deal Hunter book and is not a Last
Dwarf character, so its absence there was correct. The page gave no hint
that the book was even part of what was being displayed.
- The speakers page now shows a "Reviewing <project>" banner next to the
counts, so the number and the book it belongs to are read together.
- Added a project switcher directly on that page; previously changing
project meant navigating via the dashboard.
- activate_project accepts ?next=, restricted to same-site relative paths
so the switcher can stay put. Verified //evil.com and https://evil.com
both fall back to "/".
- list_projects registered as a template global, following the existing
active_project pattern; it degrades to [] on any error.
routes.py stays at its 76 pre-existing ruff errors. Suite: 684 passed, 8
pre-existing.

Commit cadence: commit at least once every Sunday. Never leave a week (let alone a month) of work uncommitted — a single accidental
git checkouton 2026-09-20 wiped out a month of changes toumbraaudio/web/routes.py. SeeAGENTS.md→ Commit Cadence.
scripts/commit_check.sh enforces the nudge: it exits non-zero once the tree has been dirty
longer than a week. The LaunchAgent com.umbraaudio.commitcheck runs it every Sunday at
18:00 and posts a macOS notification when there is uncommitted work.
scripts/commit_check.sh # warn if dirty > 7 days
scripts/commit_check.sh --days 3 # tighter threshold
scripts/commit_check.sh --any # warn on any uncommitted change
