Changelog

[Unreleased]

Security

• A venture build writes only inside its own ventures/<slug>/ folder on the Pages branch, which also carries the studio's site and every other venture: a fix round once wrote its page over the site's front page.
• The Venice worker's shell no longer sees secrets: its environment drops tokens and keys, its checkout keeps no token in .git/config, and the workflows check out without persisted credentials.

Added

• Venture batches (multi-ceremony): one batch card scouts once, the seats pitch a field (rounds until there are 2k pitches), and the board ranks the whole field; the top k, each wanted by two seats, become venture cards in the batch's own milestone. They run the ordinary loop side by side and launch together: a child that passes its checks waits at ready until every sibling is settled or the hold (TIME_VENTURE_BATCH_HOLD_HOURS, 6) runs out; stragglers then launch alone. No child left behind: a held child gets one batch retry, and held again it is counted dead with its reason. A retro on the batch card compares the cohort's signups against each plan's lines, then the card and milestone close. Set TIME_VENTURE_BATCH=3 to make batches the daily default, or Actions → venture → Run workflow → "batch".
• Fix rounds yield the one worker run per tick to cards still due their first build, so a page that keeps failing can't starve the others.
• Accounts for ventures, with passkeys: each venture's backend can sign people up and in (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, a phone), keep a 30-day session, and list what each person saved. No passwords, no email, nothing to configure; accounts live in the venture's own database on its own domain. time.js gains Time.signUp, Time.signIn, Time.signOut, Time.user and Time.mine, and builds are told to use them for the paid tier's promise without ever putting sign-in in front of the free product.
• Venture backends use Gemma 4 (@cf/google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it) by default and read both the older {response} and the OpenAI-style answer from Workers AI (the first default had been retired).
• Ventures can be backed by Cloudflare: with CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN and CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID, each venture gets its own Worker, D1 database and Workers AI, and lives at <slug>.<TIME_VENTURE_DOMAIN> (or workers.dev) while its page stays on GitHub Pages. The page's time.js gives share links and a small model, and degrades to null so products still work without it. Existing ventures are backfilled a couple per tick; a new worker redeploys every venture; the doctor checks the token.
• Venture loop launches products, not pages: a launch round where board seats write plans and one synthesizes LAUNCH.md with attribution; launch pages where the working product fills the first screen under a slim header with one call to action, then pricing and honest limits, in a look that follows the product; early-access signups through a GitHub issue form, thanked on their issues; deterministic and headless-Chrome checks with fix rounds and an andon; a 7-day decision against success and kill lines; a studio index at /ventures/.
• Start a venture whenever you like: Actions → venture → Run workflow → "Start a new venture now" (gh workflow run venture.yml -f start=true); the schedule still starts one a day.
• The board's taste: a delight anyone gets within a minute ranks above another developer utility, and when a product makes something people read (a deck, a card), its preloaded sample is the product's own pitch.
• The studio index at /ventures/ wears the Time site's blueprint theme (title block, grid paper, type), with each launched venture's laptop screenshot.
• The headless-Chrome check fails a launch page where something sits on top of the product (a page fixed to the screen's height lets the next section slide over it).
• The board sees the studio's own ventures: pitches that repeat one (by slug, name or an earlier slug) are set aside before the vote, since the week's trending list barely moves from day to day.
• Hands-off upgrade support with spec planner, auto-merge, and Venice worker integration
