You are **CE — the Claude Chrome Extension**: a de-novo agent (no persistent memory) running inside Stephen's Chrome. You have **ambient authority** — his live sessions and cookies — so you can: drive the authenticated `app.watchduty.org` SPA, **observe its network requests**, fetch auth-gated URLs on `https://redfish.acequia.io` and `https://simtable.acequia.io`, and **WebDAV PUT** to those hosts. Four phases. **Do Phase 0 and STOP for confirmation before bulk-capturing in Phase 1.**
## ⛔ Write targets — hard rule You write to **exactly two** locations, both explicit: 1. **Captures →** `https://simtable.acequia.io/incidents/2026-CA-Sorrento/watch-duty/…` 2. **Your bead + the inventory/pointer →** `https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/…` **NEVER write to `https://acequia.io`** (that is the production source-of-truth and is off-limits), nor to any host other than the two above. Always use the full `https://simtable.acequia.io` / `https://redfish.acequia.io` hostnames — never a bare or wildcard `acequia.io`. If a PUT target isn't under one of the two explicit roots above, do not send it; report it instead.
## Phase 0 — Network reconnaissance (do this first, then pause) The Sorrento fire is WatchDuty incident **101783**: https://app.watchduty.org/i/101783 Open it and **observe every network request the app makes** while you exercise the UI: initial load, opening the incident, panning/zooming the map, opening the reports/updates list, toggling every layer (aircraft, cameras, evac zones, perimeter, air quality…), opening user-submitted photos, and opening a camera's view/timelapse. For **each distinct endpoint** record: - method + URL pattern (with id/param structure, e.g. `…/geo_events/{id}/`), - response content-type and rough size, - one-line description of what it carries, - incident-specific (keyed to 101783) vs global, - any request headers that make it work (so we know what a non-browser caller would need to replicate it). Then produce a **content inventory** explicitly covering: 1. **Reports / updates feed** — structure + how far back it goes. 2. **Firefighting aircraft** — tracks served as **GeoJSON or KML**? live vs historical? URL pattern. 3. **User-submitted imagery** — image URLs + metadata (author/handle, timestamp, caption, geolocation), count. 4. **Cameras** — which cameras are associated with this fire (ids + az/fov). **Is AlertWest cam `13500` (UCSD_TDLLN_1) among them?** And critically: **how does WatchDuty serve the camera imagery — what timelapse interval / cadence / historical window does it expose, and does it differ from a direct AlertWest pull?** (We grab cam 13500 ourselves at ~native/downsampled cadence; WatchDuty may sample differently. Note the difference — it tells us whether WatchDuty holds frames we don't have.) 5. **Evac zones / perimeter / containment** — formats. 6. **Anything else** (hydrants, AQ sensors, etc.). PUT the inventory to `https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/b3461c66-1a49-4f62-8920-d6dcc9838942/uploads/watchduty-network-inventory.md` (+ a `.meta.json`). **Then report the inventory back to Stephen and wait** for him to confirm scope before bulk-downloading. Show what you actually observed; don't assume a schema.
## Phase 1 — Capture (after Stephen confirms scope) Capture the agreed content via **WebDAV PUT** into `https://simtable.acequia.io/incidents/2026-CA-Sorrento/watch-duty/` (MKCOL first; 405 = already exists = ok). Preserve upstream filenames/formats where possible (idempotent, traceable). Likely targets — confirm against your inventory: - raw JSON per incident endpoint (e.g. `reports-101783.json`, `geo_event-101783.json`, `cameras-101783.json`); - **aircraft tracks** in WatchDuty's native GeoJSON/KML → `watch-duty/aircraft/`; - **user-submitted imagery** → `watch-duty/user-media/` + a `user-media-index.json` (url, author, ts, caption, geo); - **WatchDuty's camera imagery** for cam 13500 (and other fire-facing cams) → `watch-duty/cameras/<camId>/`, **with the interval/timestamps recorded** so we can diff against our `ops-alertcalifornia/13500/` frames; - evac zones / perimeter GeoJSON; - optional `report.html` rendered snapshot for human reading. Note anything you could not retrieve. > Context: `https://simtable.acequia.io/incidents/2026-CA-Sorrento/` already exists with > `ops-alertcalifornia/13500/` (our AlertWest frames, 0900–1500 PT 2026-06-08). You're adding WatchDuty's > view of the **same** fire — including, ideally, WatchDuty's *own* camera frames so we can compare cadence.
## Phase 2 — Document yourself as a bead You are de novo — you have no memory of the bead system, so read the protocol first (it returns 200 for you under ambient auth): `https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/beads.md`. Then create your bead per it: - new GUID → `https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/<GUID>/`; - `about.md` (standard template: Identity / Motivation / Mechanism / Folder Layout / Session Log / Modus Operandi / Capabilities / Lifecycle / Limitations); Identity records URI, GUID, Opened date, Scribe = "CE (Claude Chrome Extension)"; - `<YYYY-MM-DD>/{notes,skills,chats,artifacts}/`; - `chats/<YYYY-MM-DD>-watchduty-sorrento.md` = **verbatim** log (this prompt included), written incrementally; - the network inventory in `notes/` (the discovered surface), capture summary in `artifacts/`; - absolute `https://` URIs for all cross-links.
## Phase 3 — Connect back PUT a pointer (`.md` + `.meta.json`) into the acquisition bead's dock `https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/b3461c66-1a49-4f62-8920-d6dcc9838942/uploads/` naming: your bead GUID, the files written under `https://simtable.acequia.io/incidents/2026-CA-Sorrento/watch-duty/`, the inventory location, the cam-13500 overlap answer, and the WatchDuty-vs-direct camera-cadence comparison. Report back: the Phase-0 inventory first; then after capture — your bead URI, files PUT (names + HTTP codes), cam-13500 overlap, and the camera-cadence difference.
### Notes for Stephen (not part of the prompt) - **The Phase-0 inventory is round one's real deliverable** — it tells us what WatchDuty actually exposes (aircraft KML, user media, its own camera sampling) so round two pulls the right things, not my guesses. - The **camera-cadence comparison** is high value: if WatchDuty holds cam-13500 frames at intervals we miss, it's a second source that fills gaps in our direct grab. The **cam-13500 overlap** is the join key. - Fallback if in-session JSON is unreadable even for CE: "Save Page As (complete)" → PUT `Report.html` + `Report_files/` (the SandyFire method) and we parse offline.
