Executive summary

Codey Gate 2 is done for this article cycle. The pipeline now supports fractome switching, composition inserts from plain language, Template7 bottom sections with live tokens, and a trustworthy Gate 2 preview tab.

Daniel is correct about the next macro phase: publish is SFTP images to the Windows remote webserver, then SQL insert into DNN (Ventrian NewsArticles). That maps to Phase Grid 5–6 — but Syd proof (Phase 4) and one assemble backtrack should happen first.

Codey is parked. Next build partner focus: Syd (metadata proof form), then syn_publish.py (SFTP), then syn_sql_build.py (SSMS-ready insert).

Active packet — `the-makers-exodus`

Field	Value
Path	`D:\03_MAP\Syn_Pipeline\the-makers-exodus\`
State	`assembled`
Fractome	`scotomaville` → template `standard`
NA reserved	`239` (`syn_config.yaml` `publish.next_na_id`)
Last assemble	`2026-06-19T21:06:33+00:00`
Composition insert	`blockquote-primary` in The Elixir You Are Required to Transmit

Preview: http://127.0.0.1:8780/api/pipeline/the-makers-exodus/preview Or Codey preview button → tab syn-gate2-preview

Key artifacts:

File	Role
`article.md`	Arnie prose + SUMMARY + SYN_PIPELINE
`assembled.html`	Syndication body — remote banner/divider URLs + Template7 bottom
`preview.html`	Gate 2 Tahoe preview (local API image paths)
`status.yaml`	State, images, `composition.inserts[]`, assemble metadata
`inline/image-1.jpg`	Airstream proof image (Movement 1)

What Codey shipped (this session — do not

regress)

Apply-to-packet (composition inserts)

Plain language in Codey chat: add a blockquote with text of "…" into section "…"
Bridge writes status.yaml → composition.inserts[], reassembles, refreshes preview
POST /api/pipeline/{slug}/composition/apply API
TEACH lessons (learned_composition.md) are standing patterns — separate from per-packet inserts

Preview reliability

Slug detection fixed — blockquote-primary no longer mistaken for packet slug on resume
Session resume sets packet_slug from Gate 2 title
Preview button opens named tab synchronously

Template7 bottom sections (`assets/_Template7_Bottom_Sections_v1.html`)

Block	Behavior
AI Sherpa links	`https://initium.scotomaville.com/{{SLUG}}_grok` (claude, chatgpt, perplexity, gemini) — infilled at assemble
Syndication icon	`syn-us?na={na_id}` from `publish.next_na_id`
Full-bleed divider	`{{FULL_BLEED_IMAGE}}` — remote in `assembled.html`, local API in preview
INITIUM download row	`col-md-7` + `col-md-4` (Lattice Template1 pattern — 8+4 wrapped in preview)
TEXT DANIEL CTA	`href="sms:+12105574779"`

Assemble core (unchanged ratified rules)

SUMMARY in <p class="lead">; Movement prefixes stripped; structural syn-section-gap spacers
Inline floated figure (.syn-prose-with-media); divider alt="" + role="presentation"
[Portal:Keywords] pass-through only — no mechanical heading suffixes

Daniel — Gate 2 final proof checklist

Hard-refresh syn-gate2-preview (Ctrl+Shift+R) before sign-off:

Layout

[ ] Desktop: Airstream image floats right; text wraps (no white void)
[ ] Section spacers: ~30px breath before each heading after prior content
[ ] Mid-article divider: no alt-text artifact
[ ] Template7: AI Sherpa row centered; full-bleed Picasso/divider edge-to-edge
[ ] INITIUM row: cover left, Download Initium box right (not wrapped below)
[ ] Blockquote in Movement 5: Tahoe blockquote-primary styling

Content & links

[ ] Movement headings show reader text (no "Movement N —")
[ ] [Portal:Keywords] placements intentional (summary + prose)
[ ] AI links point to the-makers-exodus_grok etc. (not 541_*)
[ ] Syndication link uses na=239
[ ] TEXT DANIEL opens SMS to +1 210-557-4779 on mobile

Publish artifact sanity

[ ] assembled.html banner + divider URLs use syn.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/articles/danielcomp/…
[ ] BLOCKER — see backtrack §1: inline Airstream src must NOT be 127.0.0.1:8780 in assembled.html

Sign-off phrase: "Gate 2 approved for Syd" (or note defects + reassemble command below)

``powershell cd D:\04_WORK\Code\Lattice\_ChatUI\.Scripts python syn_pipeline.py --assemble the-makers-exodus ``

Backtrack / double-check before publish

These are not Codey polish items — they block or risk a bad first live publish.

| Issue | Severity | Action |

1	`assembled.html` inline image uses local preview URL (`127.0.0.1:8780/api/pipeline/…/inline/image-1.jpg`)	BLOCKER	Fix `syn_assemble.py`: assembled body must emit remote `image_url_base` path for `inline/*.jpg`; preview keeps local API. SFTP `inline/image-1.jpg` to remote folder.
2	`templates/syd/_references_li.html` missing	High	Phase 3C — extract REFERENCES block from Template7/assets; wire `build_references_html()`
3	`syd` agent not in `agent_order.json`	High	Phase 4A — add after `codey`
4	`syn_sql_build.py` does not exist	High	Phase 5C — scaffold from `D:\04_WORK\Code\Garwis\Arnie_DB_Insert_v2.sql`
5	`syn_publish.py` does not exist	High	Phase 6A — paramiko SFTP; fill `syn_config.publish` host/user/paths
6	SFTP config empty (`sftp_host`, `sftp_user`, `remote_image_folder`, `public_base_url`)	High	Daniel fills at 3.1 onboarding
7	`next_na_id: 239` vs live DNN autoincrement	Medium	Confirm next Ventrian ArticleID before SQL; bump config after publish
8	Categories / badge from Forrest brief	Medium	Syd proof form must surface or default for `the-makers-exodus`
9	Master + candidate JPGs	Low	Not referenced in `assembled.html`; optional archive cleanup

Publish pipeline order (Daniel's mental model — confirmed)

You were right: images on the server first, then database row that references those URLs.

`` Gate 2 proof (Daniel) → Syd proof tab (metadata last-chance edit) → Approve for SQL → syn_sql_build.py → {slug}_insert.sql (state: sql_ready) → syn_publish.py → SFTP all image files ← BEFORE commit → HTTPS verify → HEAD 200 + Content-Length match per file → SSMS → run insert.sql, COMMIT → state: published → bump next_na_id, archive to published_root ``

Context seed (paste at next session start)

Codey Gate 2 is complete for the-makers-exodus. Packet is assembled with blockquote insert, Template7 bottom ({{SLUG}} AI links, na=239, SMS CTA, INITIUM col-md-7+4). Fix inline image remote URL in assembled.html before publish. Next: Daniel Gate 2 sign-off → build Syd proof tab (Phase 4) → syn_sql_build → syn_publish SFTP → SSMS. Read handoffs/Grok_Handoff_SynNA_CodeyComplete_20260619.md and Phase Grid Phases 4–6.
