guto 4459bd17e4 phase-0: kill stubs, ship 20 curated anchor events, configure SMTP
- scripts/03-dedup-entities.py: stop emitting placeholder narrative ("Stub. Will
  be enriched in Phase 7"); write summary_status=none + null fields instead.
- scripts/maintain/41_strip_stubs.py: idempotent migration that cleaned the
  22,096 entity .md files (now zero stub strings in wiki/).
- scripts/synthesize/01_anchor_events.py: curated 20 anchor UAP events
  (Roswell, Nimitz Tic-Tac, Phoenix Lights, Operação Prato, AATIP, etc.) with
  bilingual Holmes-Watson narrative via claude -p --model sonnet
  (CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN). All summary_status=curated, confidence=high.
- web/api/timeline + timeline-view: filter narrative-less events by default,
  render "curado" badge for hand-vetted ones, drop the date display alone.
- CLAUDE-schema-full.md: document the summary_status enum and the four states.
- docker-compose.yml: SMTP_HOST=mail.spacemail.com configured;
  GOTRUE_MAILER_AUTOCONFIRM flipped to false (real email confirmation working).
- .nirvana/outputs/.../systems-atelier/: 5 deliverables of the architecture
  audit that produced this roadmap.

Chiles-Whitted Encounter
uap-encounter 1948-07-24 1948-07-24 high Montgomery, Alabama, USA
1 1 At approximately 02:45 on 24 July 1948, Eastern Airlines Captain Clarence S. Chiles and First Officer John B. Whitted observed an unidentified object pass within an estimated 700 feet of their DC-3 at 5,000 feet altitude near Montgomery, Alabama, the encounter lasting roughly ten seconds as the object closed head-on at high speed and veered off to the left. Both pilots independently described the craft as wingless and torpedo-shaped, approximately 100 feet long, with two rows of bright rectangular windows emitting an intense blue-white glow and a deep-blue exhaust flame trailing from its rear. A single passenger aboard corroborated the sighting, reporting a bright streak of light through the cabin window. Project Sign investigators at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base considered the Chiles-Whitted report among the strongest in their files, and an internal classified assessment — the 'Estimate of the Situation' — reportedly cited it in support of an extraterrestrial hypothesis, only to be rejected by Chief of Staff General Hoyt Vandenberg; the document was subsequently ordered destroyed. The Air Force's final official explanation attributed the object to a large bolide meteor, a conclusion both pilots disputed publicly for the remainder of their careers. Por volta das 02h45 do dia 24 de julho de 1948, o capitão Clarence S. Chiles e o co-piloto John B. Whitted, da Eastern Airlines, avistaram um objeto não identificado que passou a aproximadamente 700 pés de seu DC-3 voando a 1.500 metros de altitude próximo a Montgomery, Alabama — o contato durou cerca de dez segundos enquanto o objeto se aproximava de frente em alta velocidade e desviou para a esquerda. Ambos os pilotos descreveram de forma independente uma nave sem asas, em formato de torpedo, com cerca de 30 metros de comprimento, duas fileiras de janelas retangulares que emitiam luz azul-branca intensa e uma chama de exaustão azul-profunda na cauda. Um único passageiro a bordo corroborou o avistamento, relatando ter visto um clarão de luz pela janela da cabine. Os investigadores do Projeto Sign na base de Wright-Patterson consideraram o caso um dos mais sólidos de seus arquivos; uma avaliação interna classificada — o 'Estimate of the Situation' — teria citado o episódio em apoio à hipótese de origem extraterrestre, mas foi rejeitada pelo General Hoyt Vandenberg, chefe do Estado-Maior, e o documento foi subsequentemente mandado destruir. A conclusão oficial da Força Aérea atribuiu o objeto a um grande bólido meteórico, diagnóstico que ambos os pilotos contestaram publicamente pelo resto de suas carreiras. curated high none
