# Channel context notes — candidates awaiting review Eleven candidate `digest-context.suggested.md` notes, drafted 2026-08-12 from corpus evidence. **None is active.** A note only reaches the prompt under the name `digest-context.md`, and only a human puts it there: ```sh cd transcripts/channels/ mv digest-context.suggested.md digest-context.md ``` Auto-applying model-authored context is forbidden (PLAN.md:245-248), and the reason is specific: a wrong inference here degrades every future summary for the channel, and the output still looks plausible. So each note below lists what it asserts and what that assertion rests on. **Check the identity claims first** — they are the ones that would do damage if wrong. ## Why these channels, in this order Ordered by remaining sweep work from `tsx bin/digest-plan.ts` (the sweep's own queue order). The eleven cover **~113,000 of the 188,269 chunks still to generate — about 60% of the remaining sweep.** | # | Channel | Chunks remaining | Note | | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | | 1 | `omnibased` | 16,747 | drafted | | 2 | `HasanAbiVODs3` | 14,496 | drafted | | 3 | `destiny` | 13,775 | drafted | | 4 | `rekietalaw` | 12,518 | drafted | | 5 | `the-quartering` | 11,604 | drafted | | 6 | `chibi-reviews` | 10,129 | drafted | | 7 | `chrissie-mayr` | 9,297 | drafted | | 8 | `HasanAbiVODs` | 9,146 | drafted | | 9 | `kirsche` | 8,063 | drafted | | 10 | `nuxanor` | 7,436 | drafted | | 15 | `HasanAbiVODsbackup` | 4,451 | drafted (same show as #2) | ## Evidence behind each note Drafted from a deterministic 150-video spread per channel (stable-hash ordering, so it is not the first 150 on disk), counting proper-noun phrases once per video across titles and descriptions, plus a mid-video transcript slice from 25 of them. ### `omnibased` — **check this one first** - **Claims it is a VOD archive of Destiny (Steven Bonnell II).** Rests on: titles "Destiny Playing Diablo III", "Destiny Duo FPP", "@ destiny gg embed chat"; the sibling channel `destiny` credits "TheOmniLiberal" (Bonnell's handle) in 23 of 150 descriptions, which is also what the "omni" in `omnibased`/`omnimirror`/ `omnivods-odysee` points at. Strong, but it is an inference — confirm it. - **The segment taxonomy is not invented.** 11 of 150 descriptions carry "Chapters (auto-generated from community timestamps)" using exactly these labels: `AFK:`, `Chatting:`, `Gaming:`, `Clicking Links:`, `Watching:`, `Research:`, `Reading:`, `Tech Support:`, `Debate:`, `Other:`, `/r/LSF:`. This is the channel's own vocabulary, which is why the note is worth more here than anywhere else. - Games and topics listed are all observed in sampled titles. ### `HasanAbiVODs3`, `HasanAbiVODs`, `HasanAbiVODsbackup` - Same show (HasanAbi / Hasan Piker), three archive channels; the note is shared, with `HasanAbiVODs` additionally describing its `1/2` / `2/2` split uploads, "FULL VOD" marking, and NoPixel GTA segments — all observed only on that channel. - "HasanAbi" appears in 150/150 descriptions on VODs3. Will Neff and AustinShow are the only recurring non-Hasan people in sampled titles. - Political figures listed are the ones actually recurring in the transcript sample. ### `destiny` - Distinguished from `omnibased` deliberately: this channel's uploads are **edited excerpts**, evidenced by editor credits (Voddity, SL5000), "Date streamed", and short single-subject titles. The note tells the model not to over-split, which is the opposite of the advice `omnibased` gets. **If the archive/main-channel split is wrong, both notes are wrong together.** ### `rekietalaw` - Nick Rekieta, lawyer: "Rekieta Law" in 22/150 titles, "RekietaMedia" in descriptions. - Named recurring people (Ty Beard 4, Andrew Branca, Dick Masterson, Maddox, Drex) and the case list are all from sampled titles. - The "boundaries follow the court's schedule" advice is a judgement call, not evidence. ### `the-quartering` - Jeremy Hambly. Note the channel slug and the separate `jeremy-hambly`, `quartering-live`, `quarteringvlogs` channels — those have **no note yet**. - Sampled titles yielded almost no recurring proper nouns, which is itself the finding: the value here is the format advice (one story per video, do not manufacture topic changes) rather than a cast list. ### `chibi-reviews` - "Anime Review" in 56/150 titles, "Manga Review" in 22. The title-pattern claim is the strongest evidence of any note here. - The advice to prefer the title's spelling of Japanese names over the transcript's is a judgement call aimed at a known ASR weakness; it is untested. ### `chrissie-mayr` - "Chrissie Mayr" 58/150 titles, "CMP" 26, "SimpCast" 22. - Co-hosts listed (Brittany Venti 9, Lila Hart 9, Keanu Thompson 7, Anna TSWG, Melonie Mac, Riss Flex) are all from sampled titles. This is the best-evidenced cast list. ### `kirsche` - Kirsche Verstahl, VTuber. "Foxu News" in 4+3 sampled titles; Gamersupps, tip jar and artist credits in ~140/150 descriptions. - The observation that titles are often contentless is evidence-based and is the most useful line in the note. ### `nuxanor` - Nux / Nux Taku. "Nuxanor" and "NuxTaku" in 145/150 descriptions; Live2D credits (AkatsukiEnma, Ironvertex) in 141. - "Stevie Blunder" appears in 92/150 descriptions as a ghost writer credit. The note does **not** claim he speaks in the videos — worth keeping that way unless you know otherwise. ## What to check before promoting 1. **Identity claims** — `omnibased` = Destiny's archive, and `destiny` = his main edited channel. Everything else in those two notes hangs off it. 2. **Cast lists** — a name that is actually a one-off guest, listed as a regular, tells the model to expect someone who is not there. 3. **Anything phrased as advice** ("do not over-split", "prefer the title's spelling") is my judgement, not measured. Cut anything you disagree with; a shorter true note beats a longer speculative one. ## What promoting one costs, and how to tell it worked Promoting a note changes that channel's `contextHash`, so **every digest already generated for that channel becomes stale and regenerates.** That is the intended behaviour (`digestContext-server.ts:45-55`), and it is cheap now and expensive later: only 390 videos corpus-wide are digested today, 15 of them on `omnibased`. Nothing else is touched — `contextHash` is per channel, so no other channel goes stale. To measure the effect, per the plan: ```sh cd common pnpm exec tsx bin/digest-validate.ts # before promoting, and after regenerating ``` Compare generic-title rate and coverage gap. Boundary accuracy is now also measurable on the ~12,139 videos that carry uploader chapters: ```sh cd common pnpm exec tsx ../plans/tools/digest-bakeoff.ts --score-existing # no model calls, no writes ``` Baseline for that command as of 2026-08-12, over the 15 scorable digests on disk: **R@30 26.1%, R@60 35.9%, F1@30 15.2%** across 153 uploader marks.
