+Autonomous (auto mode) — no confirmation gate. One themed bundle this run. Backlog/valve check: the unbundled-shortlisted-and-uninvisible pool sits at 26 — marginally over the ~25 line, but 14 of those are carryover finds (chiptune-radio, claymore, do-your-whisky, grand-view-park, hamilton-khaki, isthistechdead, kaset, lectrofan, london-notebook, maptap, mojave-paint, quentin-blake, uco-stormproof, worse-on-purpose-ledger) that the ~07-12 week's-catch is designed to sweep, and the last cluster run was only two days ago (07-09), so a second cluster run now would be over-clustering. A fresh week's-catch is also blocked by the letter of the rule this run (the 07-05 catch is still inside the trailing-7-day window). So: a single tight themed bundle today, tail deferred to the ~07-12 weekly catch. Chose the tightest honest cluster in today's fresh shortlist — four Apple-platform apps unified by a real, currently-timely through-line: each does its work with no cloud, no account, and no data leaving the device (Bunny Screenshot's on-device AI search, Clarity's encrypted local vault + pre-share metadata stripping, Mispher's fully-offline speech recognition + agent, ChessFlex's serverless QR pass-and-play with on-device FIDE AI). mispher isn't shortlisted (dictation saturation) but is the cleanest example of this specific theme, so it's in — shortlist rank gates the shortlist, not bundle membership. Deliberately held this run's three review candidates (bunny-screenshot is the exception — kept in as the bundle's clearest on-device-AI anchor; the held-out review candidates are boker-cable-knife, wyrm-math, corelle-vitrelle-dinnerware) out of the bundle so they carry the review treatment. Distinct from the last five Mac bundles (window management, "what the Mac hides", "nothing slips past", "controls in the furniture", "customize the uncustomizable") — the through-line here is data-locality/privacy, not UI control.

+Left unbundled for the ~07-12 week's catch or a later themed bundle: today's other shortlisted finds not carrying a review (venice-bridge-fights, tomb-of-dai-anga, irish-setter-ashby, evergreen-56-dry-box, voicedot, stacks-hypercard), plus the fresh non-shortlisted crop (autoshelf, eighteen-words, tomesphere-atlas, pastpage, fatty-snap-wallet, outlier-sunwarp, dnd-dice-light, hm-prison-maze-long-kesh, gates-of-the-city-fall-river, payson-grotto, scotland-artisan-cheese-trail, the Proust quote, and the two jokes) and the 14 carryover finds above. Not padded into the bundle to force coverage, per the skill.

+> Today's catch: four Apple-platform apps that never phone home. Bunny Screenshot searches years of screenshots with on-device AI so your screen history stays on your Mac, Clarity locks files in an encrypted vault and strips their metadata before you share one, Mispher runs both speech recognition and its agent entirely offline with no account, and ChessFlex pairs two phones by a QR scan instead of a server — proof that local-first is still something you can ship.
