Cross-store research (Apple, Play, Steam, Docker, VS Code, Chrome Web Store, Flathub) consistently rewards editorial curation over algorithmic recommendations — but manual copywriting per release does not survive a solo-dev cadence. This commit lands a daily-build pipeline so the Today-Hero card stays fresh without operator hand-edits per release. Pipeline shape (full design in docs/today-pipeline.md): 1. tools/today/collect.sh aggregates "what happened in the last 24 hours" across the F∆I monorepos: git log per repo, store-index seed.yaml diffs, architecture/system-gaps doc changes, Studio release tags, and (opt-in) audit-log highlights. Outputs plain text. 2. tools/today/propose.sh feeds the signal summary plus prompt.template.md to the operator's already-configured System-AI (Ollama default; OpenAI-compatible endpoints work via env-var override). Drafts N candidate stories as YAML files under ~/.fai/today/proposals/<date>/. 3. tools/today/accept.sh validates a chosen candidate against the today/v1 schema and the no-marketing-speak banned-word list, then atomic-renames it into ~/.fai/today/active.yaml. 4. Studio reads active.yaml at store-page init via the new TodayStoryLoader (lib/data/today_story_loader.dart). On any failure (file missing, schema mismatch, banned-words hit, parse error) it falls back to the compiled-in _kFallbackTodayStory so KRITIS deployments and fresh installs always render something sensible. Trust + audit: - All proposed and accepted stories live as plain YAML on disk. - The pipeline calls only the operator's already-configured System-AI; it never reaches a CMS, never phones home, works air-gapped if the System-AI does. - The bash accept gate AND the Dart loader both enforce the banned-word list — a hand-edited active.yaml that bypassed the shell still won't reach the UI. - Removing the cron entry disables the pipeline; Studio falls back to the const story and continues to work.

Today-Hero proposal tooling
Daily-build pipeline for the editorial Today-Hero card in Studio's store.
See ../../docs/today-pipeline.md for the full design rationale.
Quick start
# 1. Generate today's proposals (calls the local Ollama by default).
./propose.sh
# 2. Skim them — they sit under ~/.fai/today/proposals/<ISO-DATE>/
ls ~/.fai/today/proposals/
# 3. Accept one. The chosen file becomes ~/.fai/today/active.yaml,
# which Studio reads at startup.
./accept.sh ~/.fai/today/proposals/2026-05-08/candidate-2.yaml
# 4. Restart Studio (or let the next launch pick it up).
Schedule it
macOS — launchd
# Drop a plist that runs propose.sh every morning at 07:30 local time.
# `launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.flemming.fai.today.plist` to
# install. The plist must point at the absolute path of propose.sh.
A starter plist lives at launchd/ai.flemming.fai.today.plist.
Linux — systemd timer
# Copy systemd/fai-today.{service,timer} into ~/.config/systemd/user/,
# then `systemctl --user enable --now fai-today.timer`.
Anywhere — cron
30 7 * * * /Users/flemming/.../tools/today/propose.sh > /tmp/fai-today.log 2>&1
Provider override
propose.sh defaults to Ollama at http://127.0.0.1:11434 with the model
gemma3:4b. Override via env vars:
| Variable | Default | Example |
|---|---|---|
FAI_TODAY_API |
http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/generate |
https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions |
FAI_TODAY_MODEL |
gemma3:4b |
gpt-4o-mini |
FAI_TODAY_KEY |
(unset) | $OPENAI_API_KEY |
FAI_TODAY_N |
3 |
1 (single shot) |
OpenAI-compatible endpoints will work as long as they speak chat/completions
or generate; the script auto-detects from the URL path.
Trust model
- Reads only
git log,git diff, and the bundledseed.yamlof installed F∆I monorepos. Never your audit log without explicit op-in. - Calls only the System-AI you've already configured for Studio. The same privacy mode you set there applies here.
- Writes only into
~/.fai/today/. Nothing in~/.fai/data/or~/.fai/config.yamlis touched. - Studio loads
active.yamlat startup; if the file is missing or fails schema validation, the compiled-in fallback story renders. KRITIS fresh installs see the fallback until and unless an operator accepts a proposal.
