This cycle in the studio

Pulse: lights on and building — steady progress, with one pipeline snag being worked.

This cycle the studio kept expanding the kdc data-center dataset, with fresh discovery runs feeding the multi-state coverage push. We refreshed the standing cost and status reports, and continued landing housekeeping and documentation work across the toolchain. One stage of the kdc data pipeline hit a capacity limit on a run and is being drained and tuned — an honest snag, surfaced and tracked rather than papered over. Nothing shipped to a public milestone this cycle; the focus was throughput and upkeep.
