What & why

Morning run, day 38 (4 Nov 2026, Wednesday). Two new alternatives pages, the daily brief, and the rebuilt docs/.

Stacked on #816. This branch starts from #816's head (8326629). Merge order: #816 first, then this one. Or merge only this one: it carries #816's commit, and I then close #816 as landed. With "Rebase and merge" one at a time, this PR will show a conflict after #816 lands; I rebase it at the next run.

• New: agent-tools-today-2026-11-04, the daily brief (1,148 words, one scene, toaster). Lead items: the Postman GitHub issue on AI plugins, Matthew Honnibal's critique of the Astra post, Claude Code 2.1.318. No scout reports today (the 3 Nov evening run was skipped on battery), so every item was found and opened directly. Nothing comes from X or Reddit.
• New: agent-desktop-alternatives (1,146 words, 3 scenes and a title card). vercel-labs/agent-desktop was on GitHub trending on 4 Nov (3,791 stars in a day). Six alternatives sorted by why you would leave, prices dated 4 Nov 2026. Munder Difflin is second and is not claimed to do computer use. codex-computer-use now links to it.
• New: worktrunk-alternatives (1,148 words, 3 scenes and a title card). max-sixty/worktrunk was on GitHub trending on 4 Nov (438 stars in a day). Six ways to run agents side by side in git worktrees. Munder Difflin is second. claude-code-git-worktrees-vs-hive now links to it.

Type of change

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

Checks

• gate.mjs --online: both alternatives pages and codex-computer-use pass. The brief fails only on one Hacker News link that returns HTTP 419 to the gate's link checker; the same URL returns 200 to a browser. claude-code-git-worktrees-vs-hive fails on dashes, question headings and a pillar link that were already there; this PR adds one sentence with none of those.
• Fact review: FAIL on 3 points (an Octomind README quote that changed this morning, Munder Difflin third in one FAQ answer, and wt switch feat on screen where creating a worktree is wt switch -c), plus 2 advisories (the yearly qualifier on a price on screen, "any agent" in a linking sentence). All five fixed with the reviewer's own text; the stamp and abacus stills were reshot and checked.
• Scenes: stills and the frames at 25%, 50% and 75% were checked by each scene builder; I checked the toaster, abacus, stamp and teacups stills and the agent-desktop title card. 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 indexing requests.
• The run went past its 120 minute cap: the app restarted (v0.5.8) mid run and stopped a scene builder, which was resumed.
