Two-laptop rule

• Laptop A (FiscalMindset): github source only. Branch prefix \`probe/github-*\`. Lock label laptop-A.
• Laptop B: any other source. Branch prefix \`probe/<source>-<surface>\`. Lock label laptop-B.
• One source per branch. One branch per laptop per session.
• Push cadence: every 5–10 probes.

Source claim protocol

1. Branch off latest main: git checkout -b probe/<source>-<surface>
2. File a lock issue so other agents don't double-team:

   gh issue create \
     --label source,claiming,laptop-X \
     --title "[claim] <source> on laptop-X" \
     --body "Source: <source>\nLaptop: <X>\nExpected start: <UTC>\nExpected end: <UTC|loop>"

3. Run the probe. Commit JSON + MD together.
4. Open a PR with title probe(<source>/<surface>): <verb>
5. Wait for CI; merge on green.

Per-PR checklist

• Branch is probe/<source>-<surface>
• Lock issue linked in PR body
• Per-table JSON committed (one file per surface)
• Per-table MD rendered (with Mermaid)
• Conventional commit messages, scoped per source
• No edits to shared-infra files unless PR title is prefixed infra:
