+# Athena Oracle — status
+
+**Updated:** 2026-07-09  
+**Repo:** `Tony_tech/athena-oracle` (Gitea, public)  
+**Runtime:** `~/oracle` (if present) · cron ~13:00 UTC + theme_scan  
+
+## What it is
+
+Multi-source AI research pipeline: ingest → score → pattern/falsification orientation. MVP = pattern-proof, not a polished product.
+
+## Done
+
+- Adapters + pipeline (5 approved sources; RSS code kept but disabled from ENABLED_SOURCES)  
+- Reddit bail-fast on 403/429  
+- GitHub velocity sort (not raw stars)  
+- HF adapter with live verification discipline  
+- Whitepaper + README (model-agnostic framing)  
+- Commits under Epictetus identity (server default)  
+
+## Not done / next
+
+- Keep verification discipline on any new adapter (3 live samples)  
+- Depth over source-count expansion  
+- Surface digests into vault: `04_Daily/` or `05_Output/athena/` when useful  
+
+## Links

+- Gitea: `Tony_tech/athena-oracle`  
+- Policy: vault prefers project facts here, not agent chat memory
