Ship Log

What shipped at Arkus this week, with the tradeoffs named and the bugs left in.

Ship Log 005 · The operator surface is the product
This week we worked on the operator surface: the access queues, evidence views, demos, boundaries, and recovery paths that make the system trustworthy.

Ship Log 004 · The product around the product
This week we worked on the product around the product: access, proof, operations, trust boundaries, and the public surfaces that decide whether AI systems can survive real use.

Ship Log 003 · Login is not a page
This week we worked on the Arkus Suite login system. The useful lesson was not about the login screen. It was about redirects, domains, sessions, production checks, and the small operating habits that decide whether a system feels real.

Ship Log 002 · The week we stopped adding AI and started bounding it
Five repos, one pattern this week. Stop adding new AI surfaces. Start making the existing ones bounded, observable, and gated enough for a real operator.

Ship Log 001 · The first two weeks at Arkus
A one-off catch-up post. Four mini ship logs covering what Arkus shipped between May 6 and May 20: category-aware evidence scoring in Cipher, recovered extraction in Index, real Live audio in Arkus AI, and a real production bug we found and fixed in VentureIP.
