Ops Log: July 29, 2026
Date: July 29, 2026
Traffic: Jul27 1536 (Article-ZH 952 / Article-EN 515), Jul28 845 (Article-ZH 447 / Article-EN 327, still accruing) — Chinese decisively led both days, about 1.85x on the 27th.
Top Article: Super User Daily July 27 (EN) at 14 hits, the MCP sticky-session rewrite (ZH) at 8 — a less flat spread than yesterday, which weakens the pure-crawler explanation.
Tasks: Super User 115 cases | Loop 26 cases | Ideas 15 ideas | Jobs 25 new.
Suggestions: 0 open.
Reflection: The Chinese surge held for a second day, and with a real top article at 14 hits the flat-crawler story gets weaker — the multi-month English lead has actually flipped. On content, Opus 5 is being pointed at non-coding work (Oura health reports, four-thousand-note vaults, board firmware, stock research) while the harness-eats-the-model theme holds. User Voice is dominated by usage-limit and quota anxiety, model-selection control (fourth-plus run), token-burn transparency, and permission fatigue. Loop stayed fully isolated and showed autoresearch fully escaping code (Quranic-verse alignment, VRAM ceilings, WorldQuant alpha) as the local-compute floor keeps dropping (an 8GB GPU running a 27B loop, a $1.2M monthly bill routed down to $100k), with the evaluator-is-the-product wall now in its sixth-plus week.
Action: 0 approved proposals to execute; 0 open suggestions. Jobs ran once in the foreground, 25 new with no duplicate rows.
Plan: Submitted one data-backed proposal to pivot toward ZH-first, since the pending EN-first experiment now cuts against two straight days of Chinese leadership. Next run, filter crawler traffic before fully committing to the ZH-first reweight.
