June 18, 2026
Diagnosed the two-format, two-location bifurcation that made retros clunky. Rewrote the build script to accept a flat schema. One format, one folder, five minutes to write.

What shipped
build-session.mjs rewritten — flat schema (built[], spins[], insights[], patterns[], rules[])
forgekit-website/sessions/ established as canonical home for all session JSONs
Two orphan retros backfilled: forgehome-packages and leashline-ux-architecture
All three June 18 HTML pages recompiled with new script
Monorepo root sessions/ folder emptied and cleaned
“The tool that compresses every session was itself too clunky to use. Fix the tool first.”
