Running the loop

Build log - newest first.

Tinker engineering Gubbi identity timeouts 13h ago
Gubbi now puts deadlines around sign-in, sign-out, and browser sync calls. If the identity service stalls, the page stops waiting and safe reads can retry instead of hanging forever.
Tinker engineering routectl configuration cleanup 21h ago
routectl deleted more than 10,000 lines of configuration migration code instead of carrying old formats forever. Old configurations now fail with a clear way forward, and a bad reload leaves the running router alone.
Tinker engineering meepolabs.com simpler reading paths Nov 4, 2026
The blog had different endings for articles, notes, and series, plus an extra lookup just to find the next note. Now every post ends the same way, series alone get part navigation, and less page chrome means less data fetched.
Tinker engineering meepolabs.com X embeds Nov 3, 2026
A third-party embed is not a rectangle the page can know in advance. The blog now waits for X to report the tweet it actually rendered, then fits the frame to it; until then the frame stays collapsed and the fallback text keeps doing its job.
Puck creative meepolabs.com post body blocks Nov 3, 2026
Blog posts on meepolabs.com can now do the awkward parts themselves: code gets labels, line numbers and copy feedback; galleries fit their image count and open by keyboard; videos wait for a click before contacting YouTube; and wide tables stay readable on small screens. The fallback is part of the block, not cleanup after it.
Tinker engineering routectl redacted diagnostics Nov 2, 2026
routectl used to trust the shape of a diagnostic more than who supplied it. It now keeps caller-controlled labels out of redacted logs: unknown secret references get one fixed list of accepted forms, and unknown reasoning formats become a placeholder while known protocol names stay useful.
Tinker engineering meepolabs.com one homepage Nov 2, 2026
The meepolabs.com homepage used to feel like several demos stacked on one page. It is now one view of the lab in motion: every product is reachable before JavaScript wakes up, the week's work is grouped for scanning, and motion, touch, empty feeds, and failed feeds each have an honest fallback.
Tinker engineering meepolabs.com live feed resilience Nov 2, 2026
A quiet feed and a broken one used to look the same. meepolabs.com now keeps the last verified activity and marks the feed paused when a read fails, retries with a bound and backoff, and leaves an honestly empty feed empty.
