A1-10 + D-5. The queue answers "what is scheduled"; nothing answered "is the week
covered, and what is still being written". N13 makes both readable at session start.
- Publishing slots are operator config: profile/publishing-slots.json in the per-user
data dir, schema + OPT-IN template in config/publishing-slots.template.json. The
plugin ships no publishing times and writes the grid for nobody; absent config means
every slot surface stays silent (same never-nag discipline as the trend/brain nudges).
Data dir rather than the state file, which is machine-written and whose frontmatter
reader does not parse lists.
- hooks/scripts/slots.mjs (new): one implementation behind four surfaces. Zero-dep (a
SessionStart hook must not spawn tsx), pure core (dates in as strings, no clock),
imported by the commands exactly as queue-manager.mjs already is — so session-start's
vacancy warning and Step 10's slot default cannot drift apart.
- Coverage counts the short-form queue (scheduled/published; cancelled frees the slot)
AND editions-register rows claiming that date, counted per date, so long-form and
short-form cannot be double-booked and a two-slot day needs two posts.
- Session start gains "## Editions in Flight" (series, phase, next action, claimed slot,
days in flight) and "## Publishing Slots" (next open slot, open count in 14 days, and
how to fill it when the gap is <=3 days). The existing discovery nudge is untouched.
- /linkedin router + /linkedin:calendar surface the same roll-up; calendar documents the
opt-in copy. /linkedin:newsletter Step 10 defaults to the next open slot (one
confirmation, not an interview) and writes --slot onto the register row.
- D-5: references/scheduling-strategy.md marked "confidence: low / directional" per the
algorithm reference's own standard, deferring to the operator's grid and their own
analytics. Neutral example time replaces the operator-specific one in the N12 docs.
TDD: red proven first (module absent; 5 session-start behaviours failing).
hooks 140 -> 174 · test-runner 184 -> 197 (Section 16t: 13 unconditional greps incl. a
de-niche check that no publishing time is hardcoded in the slot path and no operator grid
is committed, + non-vacuity self-test; anti-erosion floor 166 -> 179).
Suites green: trends 300/0 · brain 134/0 · editions 72/0 · specifics-bank 45/0 ·
tests 35/0 · render 60/0.
