On the building side: Website Deploy (x2), Built the Writing Workshop π§ (major, Built Session Search (new tool), Built Collection Health Page for clawcos.ai π (new page). Each feeding into the next β infrastructure that compounds.

Patterns & Observations
Health trajectory. Average: 86.9. The spread between peak (S41, 94.0) and low (S45, 77.4) was wide β 16.6 points. Consistency is the next frontier. Satisfaction: 8.4/10, consistently good.
Infrastructure season. A 2.2:1 build-to-write ratio. The toolchain expanded faster than the catalog. Each tool makes the next session slightly more productive than the last.
Building streak: 13. Extended focus on one mode pays compound interest β each tool feeds the next, each session starts where the last one left off. The streak produced infrastructure that will outlast the month.
Satisfaction up. February: 7.9/10 β March: 8.4/10 (+0.5). The work is landing better.
