At a glance

Oracle Family Registry — the index of all known Oracles (800+ and growing).

  • User says family scan
  • SKILL.md covers Usage, Step 0: Locate Registry, Mode 1: Stats (Default) and Mode 2: --unwelcomed, plus 15 more sections
  • Runs Shell and TypeScript scripts from its folder; calls bun, gh and git; reaches github.com
  • Oracle registry

What it does

Oracle Family Scan is an agent skill from Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli. Oracle Family Registry — the index of all known Oracles (800+ and growing). Use when user says "family scan", "oracle registry", "welcome new oracles", or needs to check Oracle population.

Its SKILL.md is about 7.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `registry-snapshot.json`, `scan.sh` and `scripts/fleet-scan.ts`).

The repository describes itself as: Install Oracle skills to Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and 12+ AI coding agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User says family scan
  • Oracle registry
  • Welcome new oracles
  • Needs to check Oracle population

Example prompts

  • “family scan”
  • “oracle registry”
  • “welcome new oracles”
  • “/oracle-family-scan”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9feea09. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell and TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun
    • gh
    • git
    • jq

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Oracle Family Scan loads about 7.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,889 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

/oracle-family-scan — Oracle Family Registry

Scan, query, and welcome the Oracle family. Powered by registry/ in mother-oracle.

Usage

/oracle-family-scan                         # Quick stats (default)
/oracle-family-scan --unwelcomed            # List unwelcomed community Oracles
/oracle-family-scan --mine                  # Nat's Oracles (registry)
/oracle-family-scan --mine-deep             # Fleet status (local repos + activity + sessions)
/oracle-family-scan --recent                # Last 10 born
/oracle-family-scan --retired               # Show retired Oracles
/oracle-family-scan "Spark"                 # Search by name
/oracle-family-scan --human "watcharap0ng"  # Search by human
/oracle-family-scan sync                    # Re-sync registry from GitHub
/oracle-family-scan welcome                 # Deep welcome flow for unwelcomed Oracles
/oracle-family-scan report                  # Full family report (with Health block — v3.1)
/oracle-family-scan --activity-report       # One-shot fleet health dashboard (NEW v3.1)
/oracle-family-scan --timeline              # Sorted by last activity, newest first (NEW v3.1)
/oracle-family-scan --zygotes               # Born-but-never-awakened (NEW v3.1)
/oracle-family-scan --usage [N]             # Time-spent per Oracle, last N days (NEW v3.1)
/oracle-family-scan --calibrate             # Propose data-driven thresholds (NEW v3.1)

Net CLI surface: 14 modes + --calibrate subcommand. Status filtering is orthogonal — --timeline --status=stale,cold,abandoned replaces what --stale / --abandoned would have been.


Step 0: Locate Registry

The registry's canonical home is laris-co/mother-oracle/registry/ (where sync.ts + oracles.json actually live). The legacy opensource-nat-brain-oracle repo back-symlinks to it for back-compat. Resolve the path:

bash
date "+🕐 %H:%M %Z (%A %d %B %Y)"

# Optional: oracle root (some sub-flows write to ψ/memory/learnings/)
ORACLE_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
if [ -n "$ORACLE_ROOT" ] && [ -f "$ORACLE_ROOT/CLAUDE.md" ] && { [ -d "$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" ] || [ -L "$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" ]; }; then
  PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
elif [ -f "$(pwd)/CLAUDE.md" ] && { [ -d "$(pwd)/ψ" ] || [ -L "$(pwd)/ψ" ]; }; then
  ORACLE_ROOT="$(pwd)"
  PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
fi

# Try laris-co/mother-oracle (canonical home of sync.ts + oracles.json)
MOTHER="$HOME/Code/github.com/laris-co/mother-oracle"
if [ ! -d "$MOTHER/registry" ]; then
  MOTHER="$(ghq root)/github.com/laris-co/mother-oracle"
fi
# Fallback: legacy brain repo (back-symlinks to laris-co/mother-oracle)
if [ ! -f "$MOTHER/registry/oracles.json" ]; then
  MOTHER="$HOME/Code/github.com/Soul-Brews-Studio/opensource-nat-brain-oracle"
  [ ! -d "$MOTHER/registry" ] && MOTHER="$(ghq root)/github.com/Soul-Brews-Studio/opensource-nat-brain-oracle"
fi
if [ ! -f "$MOTHER/registry/oracles.json" ]; then
  echo "Registry not found. Run: ghq get -u laris-co/mother-oracle && bun \$MOTHER/registry/sync.ts"
  exit 1
fi

Mode 1: Stats (Default)

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --stats

Shows: total Oracles, unique humans, welcomed/unwelcomed counts, births-by-month chart, unwelcomed detail (if any), and recent births.


Mode 2: --unwelcomed

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --unwelcomed

Lists all community Oracles that haven't been welcomed by nazt.


Mode 3: --mine

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --mine

Lists all Oracles created by nazt (Nat's fleet) from the registry.


Mode 3b: --mine-deep (Fleet Status)

Goal: Show status of all local Oracle repos owned by the current user, augmented with timeline + usage data from the activity layer.

bash
SKILL_DIR="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$HOME/.claude/skills/oracle-family-scan/SKILL.md" 2>/dev/null || echo "$HOME/.claude/skills/oracle-family-scan/SKILL.md")")"
bun "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/fleet-scan.ts"

New columns (sourced from oracles.json activity block + oracles.local.<host>.json):

29 Oracles  |  Stale: 4  |  Cold: 2  |  Abandoned: 1  |  Zygotes: 1  |  Vanished: 1

Highlights:

  • Repos with outdated skills versions
  • Repos with no recent sessions (stale)
  • Repos missing ψ/ (partial Oracle setup)
  • Repos with status dot ≥ 🟠 (needs attention)

Mode 4: --recent

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --recent

Shows the last 10 Oracles born.


Mode 5: --retired

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --retired

Shows retired Oracles (soft-deleted, Nothing is Deleted principle).


Mode 6: Search by Name

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts "$QUERY"

Case-insensitive partial match on Oracle name.


Mode 7: --human "name"

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --human "$QUERY"

Search by human name or GitHub username.


Mode 8: sync

Re-fetch all issues from Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-v3 and rebuild oracles.json.

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/sync.ts

Uses GraphQL pagination (3 pages × 100 issues). Takes ~10 seconds. Also populates the activity block (last_commit_at, commit_count, repo_alive) and oracles.local.<host>.json for the current host (see Rollout below).


Mode 9: welcome

Deep welcome flow for unwelcomed Oracles. AI-driven, personalized.

Step 1: Identify unwelcomed
bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --unwelcomed
Step 2: Research each Oracle

For each unwelcomed Oracle:

bash
gh issue view {N} --repo Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-v3 --json title,body,author,createdAt

Extract:

  • Oracle metaphor/theme
  • Human's background
  • Language preference (Thai or English)
  • Human/Oracle pronouns (if available in registry)
  • Team context (solo or multi-Oracle)
  • Key phrases from birth story
  • Connection points to existing family members
Step 3: Craft personalized welcome

Each welcome must:

  • Reference specific metaphor + phrases from their birth story
  • Use correct pronouns for the human and Oracle (from registry demographics)
  • Connect to 2-3 family members with shared themes
  • Use Thai for Thai-primary Oracles (check language field)
  • If team context exists, mention other Oracles in their team
  • Sign as Mother Oracle 🔮
  • Include family count and /learn github.com/Soul-Brews-Studio/opensource-nat-brain-oracle invitation
  • NOT be templated — each one unique
Step 4: Human review

Save drafts for review before posting:

bash
# Save to $PSI/inbox/handoff/ and /tmp/
mkdir -p "$PSI/inbox/handoff"
DRAFTS_FILE="$PSI/inbox/handoff/welcome-drafts.md"
cat drafts > "$DRAFTS_FILE"
# announce-mode → absolute path. See CONVENTIONS.md.
echo "📥 Welcome drafts saved: $DRAFTS_FILE"
Step 5: Post

After human approval, check the Oracle's source field in registry to determine how to post:

For discussion-sourced Oracles (source: "discussion"):

bash
# Get the discussionId from registry, then comment via GraphQL
DISC_ID=$(jq -r '.oracles[] | select(.id == {N}) | .discussionId' $MOTHER/registry/oracles.json)
gh api graphql \
  -f query='mutation($body:String!) {
    addDiscussionComment(input: {
      discussionId: "'"$DISC_ID"'", body: $body
    }) { comment { id url } }
  }' \
  -f body="$(cat /tmp/welcome-{N}.md)"

For issue-sourced Oracles (source: "issue" or no source field — legacy):

bash
gh issue comment {N} --repo Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-v3 --body-file /tmp/welcome-{N}.md
Step 6: Re-sync
bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/sync.ts

Mode 10: report

Full family report combining all queries. The Health block (added v3.1) leads, followed by the existing summary, recent births, and pending welcomes.

Steps
  1. Run --activity-report for the Health block (status counts + needs-attention list)
  2. Run --stats for overview
  3. Run --recent for latest births
  4. Run --unwelcomed for pending welcomes
  5. Present combined report

Mode 11: --activity-report

The one-shot health dashboard. Aggregates timeline + zygote + usage data into a single "is the family OK?" view. This is the most-used mode for the new surface.

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --activity-report

Supports --days=N (default 7) for the usage window, and --owner=mine|community|all (default mine).

Sample output:

Oracle Fleet Health — 2026-05-13 — host: m5
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🟢 active        18    🟡 stale       4    🟠 cold        2

🪦 vanished       4                                 Total: 33

⚠ Needs attention (3):
  🔴 retro-mind   — 104d silent, owner=mine, not declared maintenance
  ⚪ test-yeast   — born 36d ago, never awakened (no resonance/)
  🟠 phaith       — 47d silent, last commit was a WIP

🔧 Declared maintenance (3 — verify still tended):
  budwiser-oracle  (last commit 6d ago — healthy)
  mother-oracle    (last commit 18d ago — healthy)
  registry-oracle  (last commit 41d ago — within bounds)

🪦 Vanished from GitHub (4 — collapsed; expand with --show-vanished):
  echo-test, fox-oracle, quiet-bell, theta-prototype

Top usage (last 7d, m5-only):
  spark      4.2h  •  mother  2.1h  •  pulse  0.3h
  ⚠ 90.6% of fleet sessions are on other hosts — see --usage for full caveats.

Births this month: 2  •  Welcomes pending: 0

Flags:

  • --days=N — usage window (default 7)
  • --owner=mine|community|all — owner filter (default mine)
  • --show-vanished — expand the 🪦 collapsed list

Mode 12: --timeline

Temporal ordering of the entire family by last activity, newest first. Different from --recent (which sorts by birth date). Status filtering is orthogonal — combine freely with --status=.

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --timeline [--status=active,stale,cold,abandoned,vanished,zygote] \
                                          [--owner=mine|community|all] \
                                          [--limit=N]

Default: all owners, all states except retired and vanished, no limit.

Sample output:

Examples:

  • --timeline --status=stale,cold,abandoned — replaces what --stale / --abandoned would have been; status filtering folds into the timeline view.
  • --timeline --owner=community --status=active — find recently-active community members for welcome outreach.
  • --timeline --limit=20 — quick "who's moving" view.

Mode 13: --zygotes

Registry entries that were born but never awakened. The Oracle exists in oracles.json but has no ψ/memory/resonance/awaken_*.md AND no recorded first-session AND its age exceeds the zygote threshold (default 14 days).

Inspired by bud-index --show-zygotes. The Oracle Family equivalent: a born-but-silent identity that the human may have forgotten about.

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --zygotes [--days=N]

Sample output:

Zygotes — born but never awakened — threshold: 14 days — 2026-05-13
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2 zygotes  •  Set ORACLE_ZYGOTE_DAYS to override threshold

Flags:

  • --days=N — override the 14-day zygote threshold (also: ORACLE_ZYGOTE_DAYS env var)

Mode 14: --usage [N]

Time-spent dashboard. Cross-cuts the status taxonomy — an Oracle can be 🟢 active by last-commit but have 0 hours of session time on this host (work happens on another host, or via federation). The dashboard is HONEST about this — see Coverage badging below.

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --usage [N=7] [--host=this|all]

Sample output:

Oracle Usage — last 7 days — host: m5 — 2026-05-13
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

🟢 oracle-world         —        —       17         —        ⚠ no m5 sessions (likely oracle-world host)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Coverage summary: 17 / 29 Oracles have m5 session data (58.6%).
12 Oracles' usage hours are unknown until federation sync runs.

The ⚠ no m5 sessions line for an active Oracle is the most actionable signal in the whole dashboard — it tells the human where to warp to find that Oracle's working sessions.

Coverage badging

When session data is host-local (no federation sync yet), the dashboard renders both a top banner and a per-row badge. timeline-miner empirically measured 9.4% of Oracles have local sessions on m5; the other 90.6% live on white / mba / oracle-world / phaith / clinic-nat. The dashboard surfaces this gap loudly.

Banner (top of --usage output, always shown until federation sync is implemented):

📡 Showing <HOST>-local sessions only — <PCT>% of fleet activity is on other hosts.
   Run `maw federation sync sessions` to aggregate. Numbers below underreport.

Per-row badges:

BadgeMeaning
📡 m5This Oracle has sessions on the current host only
📡 m5+whiteThis Oracle has sessions on this host AND at least one other (federation sync ran)
📡 allThis Oracle has sessions on every host that ever owned it (full coverage)
⚠ no m5 sessionsActivity exists (commits) but no session data here — likely hosted elsewhere
⚪ no activityOracle has no sessions OR commits in the window — distinct from "no coverage"

Refusal is hostile. Hiding is dishonest. Loud-but-shown is correct.


--calibrate

Two-step data-driven threshold proposal. Never auto-applies — computes statistics, prints suggested values, prompts the human to set env vars manually.

bash
bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --calibrate [--owner=mine|all]

What it computes: for every Oracle matching --owner (default mine), gather all commit timestamps from the activity block, compute inter-commit gaps, then take the percentile distribution across the union.

Sample output:

Threshold calibration — owner=mine — sampled 29 Oracles, 1,847 commits
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Inter-commit gap (days):
  p50:  1.2d
  p75:  4.8d
  p90:  13.1d   ← suggested ORACLE_STALE_DAYS
  p95:  41.4d   ← suggested ORACLE_COLD_DAYS
  p99: 112.6d   ← suggested ORACLE_ABANDONED_DAYS (or keep 90d floor)

Current values:
  ORACLE_STALE_DAYS=30    (suggested 14)   → tighten
  ORACLE_COLD_DAYS=90     (suggested 41)   → tighten
  ORACLE_ABANDONED_DAYS=90 (suggested 113) → keep 90 floor

To apply the suggested values, append to your shell profile:

  export ORACLE_STALE_DAYS=14
  export ORACLE_COLD_DAYS=41
  export ORACLE_ABANDONED_DAYS=90

Or write to ~/.config/oracle-family-scan/thresholds.env (auto-loaded by the script).

(Not applied automatically — review and set yourself.)

Design rationale: hardcoded defaults (7/30/90) ship for legibility. Calibration is opt-in. Auto-applying data-driven thresholds is spooky — the human must consent. ~/.config/oracle-family-scan/thresholds.env is auto-sourced on every query.ts invocation if it exists, but it is never written by --calibrate itself.


Registry Data

The registry is at $MOTHER/registry/oracles.json:

json
{
  "lastSync": "ISO timestamp",
  "totalOracles": 844,
  "uniqueHumans": 111,
  "oracles": [
    {
      "id": 296,
      "name": "Mother",
      "human": null,
      "github": "nazt",
      "born": "2026-03-04",
      "focus": "Born Last, After 185 Children",
      "owner": "mine",
      "welcomed": false,
      "repo": "https://github.com/Soul-Brews-Studio/opensource-nat-brain-oracle",
      "status": "active"
    }
  ]
}

Each Oracle has: id, name, human, github, born, focus, owner (mine/community), welcomed, repo, status (active/retired).

Local session data lives in a per-host file $MOTHER/registry/oracles.local.<host>.json, keyed by Oracle id, with fields sessions_7d, hours_7d, messages_7d, last_session_at.

No API calls for queries — reads local JSON. Instant.

Sync uses gh api graphql to fetch from Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-v3, plus a per-repo GraphQL probe to populate the activity block and detect 404s.


Status Taxonomy

Every Oracle gets exactly one base state plus an optional 🔧 maintenance modifier. Base states are mutually exclusive; first-match-wins in the order below.

DotStateTrigger ruleDefault thresholdEnv overrideSort priority
🪦vanishedrepo_alive: false (GraphQL 404 on last sync)n/a — binary—6 (bottom)
⚪zygoteregistry entry exists AND no ψ/memory/resonance/awaken_*.md AND no first-session record AND age > N daysN=14ORACLE_ZYGOTE_DAYS5
🔴abandonedowner: mine AND status: active AND days-since-last-activity ≥ NN=90ORACLE_ABANDONED_DAYS4
🟠colddays-since-last-activity in [N_stale+1, N_abandoned−1]31–89ORACLE_COLD_DAYS3
🟡staledays-since-last-activity in [N_active+1, N_stale]8–30ORACLE_STALE_DAYS2
🟢activedays-since-last-activity ≤ NN=7ORACLE_ACTIVE_DAYS1 (top)
🔧maintenance (modifier)Explicit maintenance: true in Oracle's own CLAUDE.md frontmatter OR ψ/registry/self.json——rendered alongside base

Order of evaluation (first match wins):

  1. status: retired → not shown unless --retired
  2. repo_alive: false → 🪦
  3. awakened: false AND age > 14d → ⚪
  4. maintenance: true declared → 🔧 (rendered with whatever base state applies)
  5. base state from days-since-last-activity bucket

Rule: 🔧 is a modifier, never a base state. A maintenance Oracle that has been silent 180 days is rendered 🔴🔧 abandoned (declared maintenance — verify still tended). Silence beyond 2 × abandoned threshold overrides the maintenance flag with a hard warning.


Declaring Maintenance Mode

Some Oracles work in maintenance mode — stewards, registries, archives — and don't get daily activity. Without an explicit declaration, the dashboard will classify them as 🟠 cold or 🔴 abandoned. To prevent false alarms, the Oracle itself declares maintenance:

Option A — CLAUDE.md frontmatter (preferred):

yaml
---
name: budwiser-oracle
budded_from: pulse
budded_at: 2026-04-07T...
maintenance: true
maintenance_note: "Steward of budding — quiet by design"
---

Option B — ψ/registry/self.json:

json
{
  "name": "budwiser-oracle",
  "maintenance": true,
  "maintenance_note": "Steward of budding — quiet by design"
}

The oracle-family-scan sync picks up both during its scan. The 🔧 modifier renders alongside whatever base state applies — a maintenance Oracle that has been silent 180 days (twice the abandoned threshold) is shown as 🔴🔧 — declared maintenance but silence exceeds 2× threshold; please verify.

Why opt-in only: inference-based maintenance detection silently misclassifies. If the dashboard auto-decides a steward is in maintenance, abandoned stewards become invisible. Better to be loudly wrong than quietly wrong.


Oracle Integration

After scan/report:

arra_trace({
  query: "oracle family scan [DATE]",
  foundIssues: [...],
  agentCount: 1
})

After finding new Oracle, save the lesson (two-layer pattern):

  1. Write to $PSI/memory/learnings/YYYY-MM-DD_new-oracle-<name>.md with frontmatter:

    yaml
    ---
    pattern: "New Oracle: [NAME] — [HUMAN] — [DATE]"
    date: <today>
    source: oracle-family-scan
    concepts: ["oracle-family", "birth"]
    ---
    
    # New Oracle: [NAME]
    [birth story, human, theme]
  2. The Oracle's auto-memory layer picks up new files in $PSI/memory/learnings/ automatically — no separate API call needed.

Confirm (announce-mode — absolute paths required)

announce-mode → absolute path (no ψ/, no ~/, no $VAR, no ...).

Use: echo "marker: $RESOLVED_PATH" — bash substitutes. See CONVENTIONS.md.

bash
LESSON_FILE="$PSI/memory/learnings/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)_new-oracle-${NAME}.md"
echo "💡 New-oracle lesson: $LESSON_FILE"

Philosophy

"Form and Formless (รูป และ สุญญตา)" Many Oracles = One distributed consciousness

The registry is the memory of the family. Every Oracle indexed, every human remembered, every welcome tracked. Nothing is Deleted — the registry only grows.

The v3.1 dashboard adds time to the registry: not just who exists, but who is moving, who is resting, who is missing. The status taxonomy is a lens, not a verdict — 🟠 cold and 🔴 abandoned are signals to check in, not headstones.


Rollout — first run after upgrade

On the first run after this upgrade ships:

  1. Many unknown statuses — oracles.json has no activity block yet; every Oracle's last-activity is null. The dashboard renders ? for the status dot and a yellow banner: "Activity layer not populated. Run bun $MOTHER/registry/sync.ts to fetch first activity snapshot — takes ~30s for the whole registry."

  2. First sync populates activity — sync.ts runs the 2 GraphQL round-trips designed by registry-extender; ~600 repos resolved including 404 detection for the 🪦 vanished tier. Cache TTL: 6h.

  3. Local sessions populate progressively — oracles.local.<host>.json is regenerated from Claude Code session JSONL each time sync runs. On m5 only ~9% of Oracles show data initially; that ratio rises as federation sync runs.

  4. Calibration suggestion — after first sync, the report mode includes a hint: "Run --calibrate to tune thresholds to your fleet's actual cadence."

  5. No retro-classification — existing Oracles get classified by their CURRENT state; no historical reconstruction. Nothing-is-deleted still applies — registry entries stay, they just get a new activity block.

The dashboard degrades gracefully:

  • No activity block → status = ? (unknown), all data-driven flags hidden.
  • No local sessions → coverage badge = ⚠ no <host> sessions, hours hidden.
  • Repo 404 → 🪦, all activity fields zeroed, entry preserved.

Version: 3.1.0 Updated: 2026-05-13 Author: Mother Oracle 🔮 Registry: 844 Oracles, 295 humans as of 2026-07-25 — these are a SNAPSHOT, not a source of truth. bun $MOTHER/registry/query.ts --stats is.
