The schedule starts one venture card a day, and Run workflow only
advanced the cards already open. Run workflow now has a "Start a new
venture now" checkbox (gh workflow run venture.yml -f start=true) that
opens a fresh card even when today's has run; a second card on the same
day is titled "Venture <day> (2)". The schedule is unchanged.

The studio index at /ventures/ now wears the front page's blueprint: the same
tokens, grid paper, title block with the clock mark and nav, condensed
headlines and corner-marked sheets. Each launched venture shows its laptop
screenshot, cropped from the launch contact sheet.

A fix round for .mdeck wrote its page into the Pages branch's root
index.html, over the studio's front page. The Pages branch carries the
studio's site and every venture, so a venture build's hands now write
only under ventures/<slug>/: other writes are refused with a note the
model can act on, and run `keep` paths outside the folder aren't kept.
The same build squeezed the editor into a body fixed to the screen's
height, so the sections below slid over the product, and every check
passed. The browser probe now samples the visible parts of #try and asks
the page what sits on top of each one; a product mostly covered by
something outside it fails, naming the culprit. The brief says to size
the first screen with min-height, never by fixing html/body height.

The week's trending list barely moves from day to day, so the seats
kept pitching the same idea: today's card picked DeckPreview, which is
.mdeck again. The pitch and vote prompts now list the studio's ventures
and ask for something new, and pitches whose slug, name or title match
a venture's slug, name or an earlier slug (aliases) are set aside before
the vote, deterministically. A picked slug that matches an alias gets
the card suffix, so it never overwrites an old address.

The board's taste, from the owner: a neat surprise anyone gets within a
minute ranks above one more developer utility. The playbook, the pitch
prompt and the vote say so. When a product makes something people read
(a deck, a card), the build brief makes its preloaded sample the
product's own pitch, claiming only what the page does. LAUNCH.md calls
the call to action the header's button, not the hero's.

Ported from the notplanned venture template:
- launch round: every board seat writes a launch plan (positioning, first
users, pricing, channels, 7-day success and kill lines); one seat
synthesizes them into LAUNCH.md with where each idea came from
- launch page brief: one primary call to action in the hero, the working
product preloaded with a sample, why-this-exists with real star counts,
pricing (free plus at most two honest early-access tiers), honest limits,
a design direction that rotates and never repeats the last six
- signups through a GitHub issue form prefilled with venture and plan;
each signup is thanked on its own issue
- checks: deterministic gates, then headless Chrome measuring at exactly
390x844 and 1280x800 (horizontal scroll, button below the fold, JS
errors); two fix rounds, then andon with needs-human and /time retry
- a contact-sheet screenshot of phone and desktop on the card
- 7-day decision on distinct people: v2 card, kill, or one more week then
park; a next version counts only signups after its own launch
- scheduling: a card that is measuring never blocks the others; one new
card a day; a tick runs light stages back to back and one worker run
- the studio index at /ventures/ is generated from ventures.json
Security: the worker's shell no longer sees tokens or keys, its checkout
keeps no token in .git/config, and workflows don't persist credentials.
