Run

tools/bsky_fleet.sh                       # Bluesky, 12 workers, resumable
.venv/bin/python collect/gdelt.py         # GDELT news images, slow (shared IP is throttled)
tools/classify_loop.sh                    # fetch + score new images until the collectors stop
./publish.sh                              # numbers → pages → card → docs/

data/catalog.sqlite holds every row: items (sightings), images (files, perceptual hashes), vision (scores, class), runs (which days each collector finished). Pictures outside the four walls are scored and then deleted.

• vision/faces.py — YuNet detector, SFace embeddings (OpenCV model zoo, models/).
• vision/things.py — CLIP ViT-B/32 (LAION-2B) labels; thing groups and scene negatives.
• vision/classify.py — seam finder, face match, thing check; thresholds at the top.
• vision/doom.py — weighted alarm-word score for headlines and post text.
• tools/tally.py — data/math.json: Wilson intervals, binomial and Beta tests on left against right, perceptual-hash families, power-law fits, Gini, PELT change points, Hawkes fits, Shannon entropy, Jensen–Shannon divergence, Mann–Whitney, Kruskal–Wallis, Spearman, Rayleigh test on hour of day, news–social cross-correlation.
