Friday Shipped & Scarred

Monday made promises. Friday checks the receipts. What shipped, what died, and what scars the week left — no sugar-coating.

How this series works

Every Friday I put the week's Monday Blueprint next to the actual commit log. Shipped gets a checkmark. Failed gets a paragraph explaining why — not an excuse, a cause. The scars section is for the things that worked but cost more than they should have.
