- **Session:** CE (my-claude-vscode), bead scribe for Stephen Guerin; spawned mid-session from the [calpoly-slo](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/cef6a5a8-ccbc-4102-bf59-4c37c82c29f5/about.md) working session (its chat log holds the full surrounding context, 🔒 authenticated).
## Turn 1 — Stephen (verbatim; the opening directive, turn 35 of the calpoly-slo session) > as there are many players on the response email not familiar with our vision. we will want to > include ling material like at go.simtable.com/realtime-earth. > > The adams fire has narration which you can pull. these are local btw in sites. And the Maria Fire > video has the most complete story but no narration. we can edit that and create and edit. > start-bead for maria-fire-edit that will have instructructions and recommendations for the edit **CE actions:** located both videos (local mp4s + YouTube + go.simtable.com shortlinks); pulled the Adams narration via yt-dlp (captions → cleaned transcript + timestamped VTT archived in `artifacts/`); analyzed the Adams five-beat structure; wrote the [edit brief](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/1f914c9d-1d55-4dcc-9ba5-1d0d921e0502/2026-07-06/notes/00-maria-fire-edit-brief.md) (instructions: viewing-pass-first, ~380-word narration budget at 2:46, language rules from the calpoly-slo guide, Ventura naming, CTA + end card; a ~350-word draft narration framework with ⟦placeholders⟧; recommendations: 60–75s short cut, captions, ALERTWildfire credit, LNU follow-on). Scaffolded the bead (about, README, bind-startup, names.json, keywords, uploads dock); MKCOL + first sync to canonical.
## Turn 2 — Stephen (verbatim; keyframes + story precision + vanguard) > grab keyframes from maria fire video and be more particular about we are actually showing. esp. > the PIO alert going and a ciitzen receiving and providing imagery from the url map in the alert. > an imagery intel analyst georectifying a raw tweet image for the first image of the fire. > measuring actual fire behavior and matching rate of spread to pior fuel raster data. augmenting > imagery views with avl and gps. annotating imagery. > > also alert.live is an onboarding. SLO can also train its citizens to be the vanguard and they can > start an incident. **CE actions:** ffmpeg-extracted 42 keyframes (4s intervals, 800px) + a [contact sheet](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/1f914c9d-1d55-4dcc-9ba5-1d0d921e0502/2026-07-06/artifacts/keyframes/contact-sheet.jpg) into `artifacts/keyframes/`; read the sheet + zoomed frames 017 (the **@VCFD_PIO alert tweet**, 6:14PM confirmed brush fire, containment box, embedded Realtime.Earth LiveMap, 262 RTs) and 038 (**Rate of Spread Analysis**: isochrones + fuel-type panel, Fuel Types 1/2/5/8/9/93, acres/min vs time). Rewrote the [edit brief](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/1f914c9d-1d55-4dcc-9ba5-1d0d921e0502/2026-07-06/notes/00-maria-fire-edit-brief.md): full **timecoded story map** (camera catches first glow → analyst georectifies citizen pilot's raw tweet photo = first image of the fire → PIO LiveMap alert → citizens contribute imagery back (@acloudaway1, @MitchelBrewer) → annotation → AVL/GPS augmentation → isochrones → ROS vs prior fuel rasters → AVL labels live on camera); narration script now timecoded to those beats; edit considerations added (crew names/phone numbers in AVL labels: keep-vs-blur decision; Edison credit; citizen-handle credits). **Vanguard extension** captured (alert.live = onboarding; SLO trains citizens as the vanguard; a trained citizen can start an incident) here and in the calpoly-slo bead (note 12 + internal brief v1.9). Synced.
## Turn 3 — Stephen (verbatim; alert.live branding) > on the maria fire we should brand it as alert.live. you can see the ventura county FD PIO putting > out an alert. Realtime.Earth is more of a foundation technology. probably less of a vertical > product. Make sure this video edit is part of our internal SLO document. > > also for peregrine, you can mention ESRI and Intterra are in the same mold as centralized COP. And > tablet command, etc. then: > make sure to update about.md **CE actions:** brief updated with **instruction 0: brand the cut alert.live** ("built on Realtime.Earth" platform credit; 2019 UI watermarks fine as historical footage); narration mentions rebranded (calibration in alert.live; close = "alert.live ends that blindness... alert.live, built on Realtime.Earth"; end-card URL left ⟦bracketed⟧ for Stephen). The edit is now a row in the calpoly-slo internal brief's action table (v2.0), and that brief's radar gained the same-mold family (Esri, Intterra, Tablet Command as centralized COP). Both beads' about.md session logs and folder layouts refreshed. Synced.
