    Day Two: Callie Gets a Voice + 9 New Projects

    Upgraded Callie from a flat TTS reader to something that actually sounds like a briefing. Overhauled journal infrastructure. Then scaffolded 9 new “Build Your Own X” systems projects — debugger, shell, text editor, graphics renderer, key-value store, query language, search engine, static analyzer, and container runtime. Also shipped Bread’s Vercel fix and set up daily auto-updates for all dev tools.
