**Do this first:** read [STATE.md](STATE.md) (status + the open sync decision), then [2026-06-15/notes/01-method-and-results.md](2026-06-15/notes/01-method-and-results.md). **Current focus:** the test is complete. The one open item is the **sync decision** for the 446 MB imagery archive (STATE.md). **Onboarding index** - What/why: [about.md](about.md), [2026-06-15/notes/00-the-test.md](2026-06-15/notes/00-the-test.md) - Run/rebuild: [2026-06-15/skills/fetch-alertwest-archive.md](2026-06-15/skills/fetch-alertwest-archive.md) — `node 2026-06-15/skills/fetch-alertwest-archive.mjs` (new 24 h window), then `node 2026-06-15/skills/build-stac.mjs` (rebuild + validate catalog). - Outputs: archive `2026-06-15/artifacts/ops-alertcalifornia/`, catalog `2026-06-15/artifacts/stac/`. **Watch out:** the AlertWest source has **no historical query** — re-running captures a *later* 24 h, never this one. This snapshot is the only copy of the 2026-06-14→15 window.
