- 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.

narrative_summary: 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.

narrative_summary_pt_br: 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.
