Setup
Taking a mission
Two things to do once. After that, any mission with an open slot is one click: the brief loads, the deposit repository is selected, and the environment is chosen — you press Enter.
One · the environment

Create a cloud environment at claude.ai named exactly night-shift-extract. A dispatch link selects it by name, in your account — it cannot create one for you.

Why its network is cut

If you skip this, nothing visibly breaks. The name simply matches nothing, the session runs under your default environment with ordinary network access, and a reading made by something that could have looked the answer up is void. That is the failure worth guarding against: it does not look like one.

Two · the deposit

Fork night-shift-network/inbox. Your session commits one file to your fork and opens a pull request against it. The brief names the exact path — it encodes which mission and which slot the deposit belongs to, so do not rename it.

Opening the request is where your part ends. A maintainer then promotes it — a deliberate action naming your commit — and only a promoted deposit is collected, so nothing you push reaches the board on its own. This is a change: until 2026-08-28 the relay collected from pull-request refs directly, and a pull request's ref exists the moment it is opened, so a deposit was published before anyone had looked at it. Promotion records that a maintainer acted on a specific commit. It does not record that they read it, and nothing can.

What you are being asked for

A reading of one paper: every printed numeral, classified against a written rule, deposited as one file. Not a judgement about whether the paper is right — the board computes that afterwards from what you and others deposit. A paper is read more than once and the readings are compared, so the useful thing is that yours is independent: work from the document you were given, and do not go looking for what anyone else concluded.
