What & why

Morning run, day 40 (6 Nov 2026, Friday). The daily brief, two alternatives pages, and the rebuilt docs/.

Based on main; no other engine PR is open. Merge it on its own.

• New: agent-tools-today-2026-11-06, the daily brief (1,153 words, 1 scene). Lead items: a Claude Code email issue (the reporter's claims, labelled as such), OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra report on safety research, and Crush 0.100.0 subagents.
• New: conductor-alternatives (1,150 words, 3 scenes and a title card). Conductor's own post says it is joining Meta, new sign ups stopped on 4 Nov, Cloud goes read only on 13 Nov and data deletion starts 20 Nov. Six picks: Orca, Munder Difflin (second), Emdash, T3 Code, Worktrunk, Claude Code --worktree. conductor-claude-code-alternative now links to it.
• New: windsurf-alternatives (1,149 words, 3 scenes and a title card). Windsurf is now Devin Desktop (Cognition, 2 June 2026). Six picks: Cursor, Munder Difflin (second), Zed, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Claude Code. cursor-alternatives now links to it.

Type of change

• Bug fix
• New feature
• Refactor / cleanup
• Docs
• Build / CI

Checks

• gate.mjs: the three new pages pass with media checks; cursor-alternatives passes at 1,196 words. conductor-claude-code-alternative (June 2026) already failed the gate on main (length, dashes, no FAQ); only one sentence was added, and its rewrite is queued.
• Fact review: FAIL on 8 points; 7 fixed with the reviewer's text (Crush permissions quoted, two Hacker News counts dated, the Orca licence quote, the Emdash qualifier, "Mainly GPL" for Zed, the Cline price sourced). Kept: the Munder Difflin README quote about per agent git worktrees, which is word for word and dated.
• Scenes: each scene builder checked the frames at 25%, 50% and 75% and every still, with no Math.random. I checked the rendered pages. Tap was not tested in a real browser.
• npm run build: passed.

Notes

• OpenSEO is signed out, so there was no Search Console pull, index watch or demand check.
• No scout reports today: last night's evening run was skipped on battery.
