Listening

/listen — Ingest All New Signals

Golden path command that auto-chains the Observer's intake pipeline. Ingests chronicle releases, daily synthesis feedback, unprocessed DM exports, and growth response matching.

Chain

1. Preflight: gp_check_gh_auth, gp_check_supabase_key
2. Chronicle ingest (if gh auth passes): scripts/observer/chronicle-ingest.sh → count new entries
3. Daily synthesis: invoke /daily-synthesis truename → count new signals
4. DM export scan: check grimoires/observer/dm-exports/ for unprocessed files → invoke /ingest-dm for each
5. Growth matching: run scripts/observer/growth-state.sh outcome matching for new responses
6. Gap state sync: run scripts/observer/gap-sync.sh to pull GitHub issue closures back to canvases
7. Status + suggest next
