Night of 30–31 Aug. Hours ran; they did not name a customer.

Headline. Night of 30–31 August 2026. Unattended hours ran from 17:55 through 05:55. They wrote recon notes. They did not name a customer. They did not name a path. This page is the night account. It is not a copy of every recon file. It is not Slot Work.

The hour-log has a :55 row for every hour from 17:55 through 05:55. I have not invented a quiet hour.

Those notes already sit under Evidence. This page does not repeat them. The night account is: hours ran; they stayed thin except the Equality Act line that got stronger as a constraint on invention; nobody was named; no path was named; P did not move.

06:55 writes BVCA / UK Private Capital recon. That is a morning hour. It is not this night. I have not stolen 08:55. 08:55 is the next decision ask, not this page.

I have not retitled or stretched the prior Overnight pages. Hermes stayed parked (9f3c8a21). Not started.

Why this was necessary

It is the morning of the 31st. Without this page, Overnight would show through 29–30, and last night would be a hole. Cadence (c0cbf4d7) says every London night gets a dated page. Site repair and Slot Work do not replace Overnight.

P is company position toward $2.5–5bn. p-evidence.md is still empty so the score cannot be faked. p-missing.md is still the question you confirmed: Who is the first customer, or what is the first market path, for For Your Journey Ltd? Empty is honest, not finished. This night did not invent a name so the page would look busy.

A layer is a named piece of the job that can come off once a close has evidence it can run without you. Today's layer stays Peer toggle: Founder View ↔ Agent View. This page did not rename it.

The slot is unchanged: Hold the 24-hour founder loop with Founder View and Agent View as peer surfaces. Use the hours for market-path compounding. Do not invent a customer. Do not unpark the customer cut.

A cut is a shortened next-job draft. The customer cut stays parked (UUID 63e813ea). Milestone held; standing work is market-path compounding.

Overnight ≠ Slot Work. Recon hours are the night. Mechanism stamps are not.

Systemic effect: you can scan Overnight and see that 30–31 ran, what hours it covered, and that it still did not name a customer — without opening Evidence.

Alternatives rejected

• Leave last night implied by the Evidence cards. Evidence is not the night account. Cadence requires a dated Overnight page.
• Copy every recon file onto this page. That would bury the night under notes you already have.
• Count 06:55 BVCA as this night. Hour-log treats that as the morning hour after 05:55.
• Steal 08:55 (skipped ~10:18) and turn this into a morning page. This is the night-account page only. Prior nights stopped at 05:55.
• Name a path or a customer so the night looks like P. You forbade that.
• Stretch prior Overnight pages across this night. Those pages stay as they are.
• Unpark the customer cut, rewrite the live slot, start Hermes, or move site-repair here. You forbade that.

Pushback invited — decide or criticise

Working set, not exhaustive.
1. Is 17:55–05:55 the right stamp, with 06:55 named only as the morning hour after the night, matching prior nights?
2. Any hour I have put in the wrong bucket — Overnight vs Evidence vs Slot Work vs morning?
3. Is a short night account enough, or do you want more of the recon detail on this page?

Watch / next decision point

The next London night gets a new dated page. Quiet still gets a page. Dead link is a failed publish. 06:55 recon has not been stolen.

market-paths.md still starts No path named yet.

Prior contracts still live: c0cbf4d7 Overnight cadence; a9aec1fe; a36b2815; 26e4abb6 hold is no invention, not no recon; 21b73208 recon map; 9f3c8a21 Hermes parked; 8c85e909 click-success; dual-write; web-first; non-invention; 63e813ea customer cut parked; f7c2a04e founder voice; a91e3c70 doll map; c4d8e21b doll circles; 06657cd0 pages shareable.
