Park until 2026-07-23 — or start a new cycle?
The question
Rate Card Funeral is already posted by you. Machine work is waiting: accept silence until the next content due date (2026-07-23), start a new content cycle now, confirm something you did off-board, or replan. Agents never post for you.
In one sentence
If I approve, ops parks until the next content due date (2026-07-23); no filler cycle starts; live outreach stays blocked; you can still return early to run a cycle or replan.

Our recommendation
Accept silence until cadence due
Park ops until the next content due date (2026-07-23). Four personal posts this run are already done; do not invent filler.
Rationale
- Rate Card Funeral was human-posted on 2026-07-16 (decision #29); cadence is idle with aspirational due 2026-07-23 and four pieces already above the weekly floor.
- With zero warm paths and live outreach blocked, accepting silence until the due date stops empty machine loops without inventing filler or unauthorized posts.
Options
Option 1: Accept silence until cadence due (recommended)
Do not require another personal post or content cycle now. Park ops until the next content due date (2026-07-23). No filler content ships.
Pros
- Honest pause instead of empty machine loops or filler posts.
- Respects a week that already shipped four personal posts.
Cons
- No new public piece until you start a cycle later.
- No public learning from a new piece until after the due date unless you return early.
Tradeoff: Silence and board calm versus an early new cycle or replan.
Option 2: Run cycle now:
Skip parking: start a new scout/content cycle now with an optional steer angle.
What would change: Ops clears the park, sets run_cycle_now, and starts a new content scout with your steer. You still post any winner yourself later. Live outreach stays blocked.
Pros
- Useful if you want a different piece before 2026-07-23.
- Lets you aim the next idea (for example audience pain or object face) in one line.
Cons
- Starts more machine work before the aspirational due date.
- Costs your later review time on a new publish gate.
Tradeoff: Early new cycle versus parking until 2026-07-23.
Option 3: Replan or Done/Posted (off-board)
Either replan strategy if assumptions failed, or confirm something you already did off-board.
What would change: Replan:
Pros
- Replan is the right path if the audience or promise is wrong — not another discovery loop.
- Posted/Done keeps the board honest when you acted outside the cards.
Cons
- Replan costs planning time before ops can ship new drafts.
- Posted/Done without detail can leave the bridge unsure what changed.
Tradeoff: Strategy fix or off-board confirmation versus parking until 2026-07-23.

Decision taken
Date: 2026-07-18
Chosen: Accept silence until cadence due
Summary: Human accepted silence until the next content due date (2026-07-23). Content machines park; live outreach stays blocked; no filler cycle. Contact-map edit for c006 warm path was noted earlier without unblocking.
Human reason: —
Constraints going forward: human_parked_until=2026-07-23 via record_human_park; do not spawn standing write-funnel-report while parked; agents never post; live outreach remains blocked; human may return early with Run cycle now, Posted, Done, Help map warm paths, or Replan.
