## Motivation (Why a GUID) **Incident bead** for the **2026 St. Catherine's Fire, Santa Fe, NM** — a live wildfire incident. This bead is the working namespace for foraging imagery and intel about the incident, standing up its public incident record at [simtable.acequia.io/incidents/](https://simtable.acequia.io/incidents/), and building the incident STAC so the imagery loads into incident-viewer's firewatch camera grid. It follows the worked pattern of the **2026 CA Sandy Fire**: incident folder [incidents/2026-CA-SandyFire/](https://simtable.acequia.io/incidents/2026-CA-SandyFire/) (ops camera mirror + telemetry), camera-centric STAC per [grab-alertcalifornia-stac.mjs](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/b3461c66-1a49-4f62-8920-d6dcc9838942/2026-06-21/skills/grab-alertcalifornia-stac.mjs) (bead `b3461c66`), and the firewatch camera grid at [apps/camera-grid/](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/apps/camera-grid/). First imagery sources: the two **ALERTWest** cameras covering the Santa Fe fireshed — | camera | camId | locId | lat, lon | |---|---|---|---| | Tesuque_Peak_1 | 16754 | 22179 | 35.785237, -105.782087 | | Picacho_Peak | 23570 | 26898 | 35.678398, -105.886703 | Source API (public, no auth): `api.cdn.prod.alertwest.com` (`GET /api/getCameraDataByLoc`, `POST /api/getCameraTimelapse`), imagery from `img.cdn.prod.alertwest.com/data/img/<camId>/<Y>/<M>/<D>/<file>`.

## Mechanism (What this bead does) - Forages ALERTWest imagery + telemetry for the incident window (starting with the last 6 hours of Tesuque Peak and Picacho Peak) into the incident folder on simtable. - Builds and maintains the incident STAC (frames as Items with per-frame pose az/el/zoom/hfov, view extension) so the firewatch grid and incident-viewer can load it. - Records intel foraging (WatchDuty, dispatch, NMFireInfo, etc.) as dated notes and artifacts. - Does NOT host the imagery itself — that lives in the public incident namespace [simtable.acequia.io/incidents/](https://simtable.acequia.io/incidents/); this bead holds the scripts, notes, decisions, and chat log.

## Session Log - **2026-07-02** — Bead opened by Stephen (`start-bead 2026-st-catherines-fire-santa-fe`). Camera IDs resolved from the SandyFire roster snapshot; incident stood up at [incidents/2026-NM-StCatherinesFire/](https://simtable.acequia.io/incidents/2026-NM-StCatherinesFire/); forage run 1 mirrored **524 frames** (last 6 h, both cams) + built the incident STAC + firewatch manifest ([notes/01](2026-07-02/notes/01-forage-run-1-last-6h.md)). Both cameras show the active smoke column, operator-locked since ~14:39 MDT.

## Modus Operandi (How to interact) - Read this file, then the latest dated `notes/` (start with `00-*`). - New forage runs: use the skill in `2026-07-02/skills/`; record each run's parameters and output counts in a dated note. - Cross-bead references use absolute URIs. Incident data references use the public [simtable.acequia.io/incidents/](https://simtable.acequia.io/incidents/) URLs. - Deposit inbound material in `uploads/`; it is immutable provenance.

## Capabilities - Hosts: forage scripts, incident intel notes, STAC design decisions, chat log for the St. Catherine's Fire incident. - Citable for: how this incident's imagery/STAC was assembled; the ALERTWest NM camera roster facts above. - Does NOT produce: authoritative fire information (defer to official sources); the imagery bytes (those live on simtable).

## Lifecycle - **Energization:** active while the incident is live and while its archive is being assembled/refined. - **Apoptosis:** when the incident record is complete and stable on simtable and incident-viewer loads it without this bead's involvement, the bead fades to archive.

## Limitations - Camera-derived intel is soft evidence (pose telemetry is a soft prior; see feedback_every-constraint-is-soft). - ALERTWest imagery is public but proprietary-licensed; the mirror is for incident operations use.
