Signals

AGE Encrypted Sidecar: - Works well in isolation but inconsistent across sessions/surfaces - Not cleanly installed or uniformly deployed across all relevant surfaces - Anecdotal failure patterns known to MjF (to be zoomed)

JSON Feed: - from-house.json at :1800 works but is too large - Feed bloat causing problems (latency? parse failures? context limits?) - Contains operational secrets, credentials, full infra configs — needs scoping/thinning

Related mechanic: The JSON feed + AGE sidecar are a paired system. One publishes canonical state; the other provides encrypted access for sensitive payloads. Both have gaps.
