What's inside
Not a link dump. The few things that changed this week, and a plain answer to the question that matters: what would I do about this?
Each one ends in a section called What I’d do. Sometimes the honest answer is nothing this week, and the issue says so.
One thing to try with your own hands, written as numbered steps. If it takes an hour and a spreadsheet, it says so.
A tool appears only if it was run for real work that week. Some issues list two. Some list none.
Last week’s calls get graded, including the wrong ones. Every number traces to a primary source. Catch one that doesn’t and reply, a real person reads it.
