From PickiPedia: A knowledge base of bluegrass, old time psychedelic jams, and other public domain music
What the people in this Mood have left each other to do. Kept by whoever notices;
mark an item done: true rather than deleting it, so the next person can
see it was finished and not merely dropped.
Compacted 2026-10-17. Everything settled is now one line at the bottom rather than a paragraph. The live list is what is actually in the way.
Next trek, in Skyler's words (2026-10-17): get Rabbithole working and playing live on PickiPedia, with a few of the songs having part cards and the highlights looking clean. Four things stand in the way and they are the first four items below: merge and deploy, a route in from a song page, timelines on more than two tracks, and the decision about how the pane should look.
The audience, as of now: IBMA. Justin's read is that nobody there will sit through a whole record and maybe not a whole song — so one track that lights up properly is worth more than eleven that play in silence.
- ☐Merge rabbithole#2, then run the playbookTwenty-two commits. Everything built on 2026-10-16/17 lives only in magent's preview container until this lands. Note merging is not deploying: the rabbithole-shell role has no cron and no webhook, so somebody runs the playbook. Now urgent rather than tidy: the listen links added to all eleven 4masks song pages on 2026-10-17 land on the deployed shell, and the deployed shell is dated 1 May 2026 — the old 320px left sidebar, no bottom bar, no parts strip, still the iframe. That is the vertical-on-the-left layout Skyler reported at 21:07. Nothing about it is a design choice; it is five and a half months of undeployed work. The move, read out of the role and the script: merge into main, then from a laptop pipe the vault password to maybelle/scripts/deploy-pickipedia.sh on maybelle. It is the whole pickipedia-vps playbook, not a rabbithole-only deploy, and it refuses if maybelle-config production is behind main.

- ☐Paste the Day 9 addition into Horseshoe Crab — the bot cannotSkyler asked for the 16-17 October work on Day 9. It is written and parked on that template page because every bot edit to Cryptograss/Horseshoe Crab is rejected — see the item below for why. Paste the block above its closing proposed tag and change the date line to 11-17 October.
- ☐A blank line does not end a paragraph in the MCP middlewareFound 2026-10-17 while trying to write Day 9. wrapProseWithBotProposes accumulates prose lines and only flushes on a heading, a list item or a protected block — never on a blank line. So the line "Days are Skyler's to number. Short points only." and the verified template on the next line are joined into one. isAlreadyVerified then short-circuits the restore-as-stored path, so the joined line is emitted verbatim rather than as the two lines the page holds. The wiki's gate compares line by line, sees a line that was never on the page and no marker on it, and rejects the save. Net effect: the bot cannot edit that page at all, and the one edit that would unblock it — joining those two lines — is an edit the bot is not allowed to make. Joining paragraphs across a blank line is wrong on its own terms; the fix is to flush on an empty line, and it wants a test and Justin's eyes because it is next to the verification gate.
- ☐Timelines — nineteen of twenty-one tracks are emptyAugust and Paint Exchange have real timelines; every other Release:<cid>/Metadata reads timeline {} and ensemble {}. Those tracks play and the bar beside them stays blank. Justin on 2026-10-17: edit them by hand rather than building a tool. The tool largely exists — the Edit Timeline button in the player: space drops a marker at the current time, arrows nudge it, 1-9 assigns the solo, A/B/I/O sets the part, and it saves to the wiki. It writes to whichever wiki serves the shell, which is the preview until #2 ships. The automatic path (ensemble from the cut's Has performer subobjects) stays parked behind the record/album-CID decision.
- ☐How should the wiki pane look now the iframe is goneThe iframe was showing the whole wiki — logo, nav, search, tabs. The pane now fetches article content into a shadow root, which keeps MediaWiki's own styling but has none of the furniture. Three ways: leave it bare; give it a small header we own with a working search box (magent's preference, an hour's work); or fetch the full rendered page and accept that the skin's JavaScript will not run, so the search box would be dead furniture that looks alive.
- ☐Which one is THE play buttonThree in the bar: webamp's transport at the far left, the carrot, and .mini-player-btn which is display:none outside the minimized sidebar. The carrot now looks primary because it is big and next to the rabbit, but nothing was demoted. Open since 2026-10-16.
- ☐Write the four people Rabbithole would strandDavid Grier (2 cuts), Ice Quilitz (2), Jeff Fehlauer (2), Luna Lavender (1) — 5 of 22 cuts dead-end on a click. Was six people; John Mailander and Kaitlyn Raitz were written 2026-10-17. tools/rabbithole-most-wanted.py prints the list with instruments and bandmates.
- ☐Look at the front page draft and say whether to adopt itMain Page untouched since 2026-04-11, read 530,000 times, opens with half a screen of nothing. The draft fills it with the firehose, makes the podcast list a query, and counts what is actually here. To adopt, Main Page becomes {{Main Page draft}}. One edit, reversible.
- ☐Merge 9f83ab7 and c13f2e8 — the two most-wanted toolsrabbithole-most-wanted.py, and --top for podcast-most-wanted.py which feeds the front page.
- ☐Decide the remaster / remix / overdub lineThe melodica overdub on 4masks is the sharp case. Blocks the automatic ensemble path above.
- ☐Special:Categories is reporting numbers that are not trueLeaderboards claims 8,265 members and has 4; Musicians claims 317 and has 51. The denormalised cat_pages counter, not the content. maintenance/recountCategories.php, which belongs in the deployment automation.
- ☐Delete Template:Studio track and Template:Studio track/testcasesThe wiki's only script error. The bot cannot delete.
- ☐The infobox asks for instrument icons that do not existTemplate:ThinkingEntityInfo builds [[File:Instrument-icon-<name>.png]] without asking Module:Instruments whether that icon exists, so show_instrument=cello puts a broken image beside Kaitlyn Raitz's name. Fix routes it through {{ShowInstrument}} — a shared template on every person page, so not a change to make unannounced.
- ☐Finish populating {{Song}}Done by hand for all eleven 4masks tracks on 2026-10-17. The other twelve pages in Song: still have no composer. An importer reading music_by and instrumental from the arthel song YAMLs would do it — the key is now spelled one way (c54d479) so it can.
- ☐The metadata editor no longer works inside the paneFallout from removing the iframe: injected HTML does not run scripts, so the editor on a Release:<cid>/Metadata page cannot boot in the pane, and the postMessage bridge to it is dead weight. The shell's own Edit Timeline panel is unaffected. Worth a decision rather than a silent loss.
- ☐The guest-name parser is keeping the epithet"S7E7 Guitar Giant Bryan Sutton!" records Has topic "Guitar Giant Bryan Sutton" — a redlink nobody will write, and it splits the count. One pattern on Bluegrass BKLYN's page, but needs a re-import, which is behind the hold below.
- ☐Release the held podcast import — 240 pages would change, limit is 50Held by its own change budget. Nothing written since 2026-10-09T04:17Z. Sample diffs before releasing.
- ☐Self-host packery, js-yaml and the Google Fonts facesSame class of dependency that killed the player once. Webamp is vendored; these are not.
- ☐Drop the four hard-coded demo songsaudioFile "/audio/August.flac" and friends, 404 everywhere. The album selector carries the real running order now.
- ☐Masks has no session data anywhereThe only one of eleven tracks with no ensemble recorded, in arthel or here. Somebody who was there can fix it in a sentence.
Done (2)
- ☑No way from a song page into the playerDone 2026-10-17. {{Listen in Rabbithole|<track cid>}} is on all eleven 4masks song pages. The equals sign lives inside the template's own wikitext, so it survives the bot-proposes wrapper, and {{SERVER}} makes the link point at whichever wiki renders it. Still passed by hand: the cid. The song-to-cid edge does not exist — the song page knows its release page, and the release page knows the cid, but nothing joins them. When it does, the template should take a song and find the cid itself.
- ☑Settled, 2026-10-16 and 17Preview relaunched after a clean stop. Webamp vendored (the CDN build was broken). Bottom bar built out: parts strip along the bottom, taller blockier blocks, bar to 152px so the player sits flush, bigger carrot by the rabbit, switch over its caption, title to the top, album row with cover and the real eleven-track selector. Active part block was invisible for an hour — white on white from a specificity mistake — fixed and verified by walking the player's clock. Spotlight no longer blacks out the page; 4s ceiling on it and on flourishes. The iframe is gone: the pane fetches same-origin and pushes real wiki URLs, wearing MediaWiki's styles in a shadow root. John Mailander and Kaitlyn Raitz written. All eleven 4masks song pages written, nine crediting Justin, Drowsy Maggie traditional, Victory the Final Fantasy IV fanfare. is_instrumental renamed to instrumental across the arthel song data. Template:Listen in Rabbithole built and placed on all eleven.
