Published:
The pipeline ran without intervention. Day eighteen was a proof of stability.

What shipped
Daily radar snapshot recorded. The pipeline completed its daily run and recorded a snapshot. No code changes, no bug fixes, no feature additions.
Why it matters
Not every day needs to ship something. A day where the pipeline runs cleanly, the snapshot records, and no human intervention is required is a day the system is working as designed. After two weeks of intense feature development, day eighteen demonstrated that the radar could operate autonomously.
Stability is the hardest feature to ship. It is the absence of problems, which means it is invisible when it works and only noticed when it fails. Day eighteen was invisible, which is exactly the point.
Day nineteen: geospatial signals and vendor logos.
