 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.

+## 2026-07-11 — review: boker-cable-knife
+
+Graduated from find captured on 2026-07-11 (source: Gear Patrol) — a review candidate held out of today's bundle.
+Hero: Böker's own product photo (bokerusa.com CDN, 01hy004 image, 1280×953, no overlay) showing the V-notch clearly — richer than the find's lower-res copy.
+Category: carry (existing — matches the EDC-knife convention, e.g. cjrb-pyrite-light-thermochromic).
+Fact-check (mandatory, against bokerusa.com's own product page + Amazon ASIN corroboration): the find had a real historical error, **corrected in both the review and the find**. (1) **WWI → WWII**: Böker's own copy states the WWI Imperial Army issued no standard pocket knife; this folding cable knife is a **WWII Wehrmacht** tool used broadly (pioneers, signal units, mechanized crews, Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe), not "WWI signal-corps." (2) The find's **fire-steel-striker claim CHECKS OUT** — Böker's page explicitly recommends the concave edge for "striking sparks with Pyrophoric-Cer fire steel," so it was kept (framed as Böker's own marketed tip). (3) Handle material discrepancy flagged: Böker's spec sheet says **rosewood**, some Amazon listings say ebony — review notes the disagreement rather than silently choosing. Verified: model 01HY004, $49.95, in stock, 440A stainless, 3.39" blade / 7.71" OAL / 3.17 oz, slipjoint, spec TL 5110-0011 / NATO 5110-12-120-0816, still produced for the Bundeswehr, made in Asia. Limitations surfaced: non-locking slipjoint (no prying/batoning), V-notch sized for thin insulation not general cutting, Asian manufacture despite the German-heritage story.

+## 2026-07-11 — review: wyrm-math
+
+Graduated from find captured on 2026-07-11 (source: Hacker News — Show HN) — a review candidate held out of today's bundle.
+Hero: a real interface screenshot from the project's own demo site (dicroce.github.io/wyrm, 2064×2752, no overlay) showing x²−5x+6=0 with draggable term handles and a "Quadratic formula" pill — richer than the find's fallback.
+Category: **learning** (new — no existing category fit an educational tool; nearest were "play" and "input", both off. The maker's own copy frames it for students, not as a game).
+Fact-check (mandatory, against the MIT-licensed engine's GitHub README, the demo/marketing site, and live App Store + Google Play listings): the find **held up** on its core claim (invalid moves literally have no drop target — the engine enumerates legal moves and hands the UI a gesture anchor per move). No walk-back needed on the platform claim: **both apps are genuinely shipping** — iOS "Wyrm Math" (App Store id 6782342042, $4.99), Android (com.dicroce.wyrm, $4.99), plus a free browser demo. Added specificity the find lacked: the *engine* wyrm-math is MIT / open-source while the app is a $4.99 one-time paid (no subscription, no ads, no tracking) by Tony Di Croce; ~25 built-in rules (linear eqns, like terms, distribution, fractions, exponent laws, sign-aware inequalities, quadratics); the "Assumptions" mechanic (dividing by b surfaces b≠0; squaring surfaces extraneous-root risk) as tracked assumptions rather than silent disallowal. Limitations surfaced: solo/indie project, algebra I/II ceiling (not a full curriculum), "Solution Search" still beta, paid app atop a free engine.
+Amazon: n/a (software).

+## 2026-07-11 — review: corelle-vitrelle-dinnerware
+
+Graduated from find captured on 2026-07-11 (source: r/BuyItForLife) — a review candidate held out of today's bundle.
+Hero: a clean 2000×2000 Corelle Shopify product photo of the 18-piece Winter Frost White set (plates/bowls stacked on white, no overlay) — a "Winter Frost White" text-overlay tile variant was rejected in favor of this clean one.
+Category: kitchen (existing).
+Fact-check (mandatory, against corelle.com's Shopify product JSON + the Amazon listing): the find held up; the only correction was **price** — the 18-piece Service-for-6 set is **$69.99** (verified identically on corelle.com and Amazon), not the ~$40–55 range guessed at graduation, so the review states $69.99. Verified: Vitrelle is a three-layer laminated tempered glass (described correctly, not generic "triple-layer"); chip/crack-resistant, lightweight, stackable, dishwasher/microwave-safe, oven-safe to 350°F preheated, glass made in USA; 3-year limited warranty. The 15-year durability claim is framed explicitly as an r/BuyItForLife **owner report**, not a manufacturer spec. Limitations surfaced: tempered-glass laminate fails suddenly and can scatter into many sharp fragments when it finally breaks; thermal-shock caution (no hot-onto-cold); lead-paint concerns apply only to older *decorated* vintage Corelle, not the plain undecorated Winter Frost White reviewed here.
+Amazon: carried from the find (/dp/B00R790CLY).
