Builds on top of W3.9 to turn the homepage Bureau from a read-only
dashboard into a working command center.
UI improvements (web/components/bureau-snapshot.tsx):
- Detective tiles are now <Link>s — each navigates to its primary
artefact section in /bureau (Holmes→#hypotheses, Locard→#evidence,
Dupin→#contradictions, Schneier→#hypotheses, Poirot→#witnesses,
Taleb→#outliers, Tetlock→#hypotheses, Case-Writer→#reports). Hover
bg matches the detective's tone color.
- <QuickLaunch /> form inserted right under the tiles.
New <QuickLaunch /> client component:
- Detective dropdown (7 active kinds; evidence_chain not yet exposed
here since it needs a doc_id better picked from the doc page).
- Single input swaps placeholder + aria-label by kind: question for
Holmes, topic for Dupin/Taleb/Case-Writer, hypothesis_id for
Schneier/Tetlock, person_id for Poirot.
- Submits to POST /api/bureau/launch and redirects to /jobs/[id]
via the next.js router.
- Loading state ("queueing…") + error display inline.
POST /api/bureau/launch (web/app/api/bureau/launch/route.ts):
- Same 8-kind validator as the chat tool's request_investigation.
- Auth required when Supabase is configured (triggered_by = user:email).
- Returns { job_id, kind, detective, status_url, eta_seconds }.
DocBureauPanel on /d/[docId] (web/components/doc-bureau-panel.tsx):
- Server component inserted between the doc header and
AnomalyHighlights.
- Surfaces every bureau artefact that touches the doc:
· Evidence whose source_page_id starts with docId/p
· Hypotheses citing any of those evidence_ids
· Contradictions whose chunks[] has any item with this doc_id
· Gaps/outliers with scope.doc_id == docId
· Case reports whose markdown body references docId (filesystem scan)
- Empty state shows "Investigation Bureau — untouched" with a CTA
linking back to the homepage to launch the first investigation.
- When non-empty, header counts total artefacts + links to /bureau
for the full view.
Metadata (web/app/layout.tsx):
- description rewritten from "Investigative wiki of the US Department
of War UAP/UFO archive (war.gov/ufo)" to one that names the bureau
+ the 8 detectives. Affects SERP previews + social-card defaults.

Closes a UX gap the user surfaced: W3.5-3.8 built 8 detectives, 4 new
URL endpoints (/jobs/[id], /h/[id], /c/[slug], /api/h/[id]/red-team)
and a chat tool, but the homepage was unchanged — the bureau was
invisible unless you knew the URL or asked the chat to invoke
request_investigation.
Homepage (web/app/page.tsx):
- Title `▍ war.gov/ufo — Investigative Wiki` → `▍ The Disclosure Bureau`
- Subtitle expanded from "Holmes · Poirot · Dupin · Locard" to all 8
detectives (Holmes · Locard · Dupin · Schneier · Poirot · Taleb ·
Tetlock · Case-Writer)
- New `🔎 bureau` topbar link (gold, between graph/stats and batch)
- BureauSnapshot inserted right after the header
BureauSnapshot (web/components/bureau-snapshot.tsx) — server component:
- 8 detective tiles with role labels (each in its tone color)
- 6 clickable counters (evidence / hypotheses / contradictions /
witnesses / outliers / case reports) — anchor to /bureau#section
- 6 "recent artefacts" columns surfacing the last 3-4 of each kind:
hypotheses with prior→posterior + band + ↳reviewed_by marker,
contradictions with topic + resolution_status, evidence with
Grade badge + verbatim quote, outliers with title + scope.kind,
witness analyses with canonical_name + credibility + verdict,
case reports with slug + link to /c/<slug>
- "Recent jobs" strip linking to /jobs/[id] color-coded by status
- Reports read from /data/ufo/case/reports/ via fs.readdir + stat,
sorted by mtime — no DB round-trip needed for that section
/bureau (web/app/bureau/page.tsx) — full hub:
- Header with full counts
- 7 sections (anchored to homepage counter links): Case reports,
Hypotheses, Evidence, Contradictions, Outliers, Witnesses,
Recent jobs table — each rendering up to 100 rows
- Reports section parses frontmatter from each .md to surface topic
+ n_hypotheses + n_evidence on the card
Runtime fixes batched in:
- Poirot: coerce entity_pk via Number() — node-postgres returns
BIGINT as string by default; writer's Number.isFinite() rejected
it as "person_entity_pk required" (j-edgar-hoover retry path)
- Tetlock: write_calibration rationale cap 600 → 1200 chars. Prompt
still asks ≤ 600 but a 2× slack beats failing the job on honest
analysis. Observed live: Tetlock emitted ~620 chars on H-0003 and
the writer rejected the entire calibration.
- Case-Writer: Promise.all of 5 queries × max_parallel=2 jobs
demanded up to 10 connections against the investigator role's
rolconnlimit=4 → "too many connections for role investigator".
Sequentialized — the LLM call is the hot path, not these queries.
Smoke results visible now on the homepage:
- 3 hypotheses (H-0001/2/3) about green fireballs origin
- 3 contradictions (R-0001/2/3) about color, geographic confinement,
exclusive-green vs multicolored
- 2 evidence cards (E-0002/3) Grade B
- 3 outliers (G-0001/2/3) — including Taleb's deliberate
meteor-shower-camouflage flag
- 1 case report at /c/green-fireballs-sandia (Watson 13.4 KB,
five-act narrative, fully cited)
