content: 2026-07-17 capture run — 26 finds across 9 productive sources

Shortlisted 11; review candidates: porcelain-room-aranjuez, we-are-rewind-pink-floyd-cassette, best-made-sailors-knife. Dedup caught 11 re-serves from 07-16 before writing, plus 2 items re-served after being dropped on the bar yesterday (Samsung Music Studio 5, Project AirLink pants) — dropped again on the same grounds. Verification corrected the record on three finds: Gear Patrol's Sailor's Knife hook was wrong (the century-old salvaged Cumarú is the handle, pulled from the Panama Canal after 113 years under water — the blade is new Robert Herder stainless); the Armenia "Donatello" is studio-of, not autograph; the Transformers set is a September preorder. Two vendor stats omitted as unverifiable. hock (A.Word.A.Day) dropped on the alcohol rule despite a strong etymology story. Amazon: 2 links added, 2 dropped on the same-model rule. Sources: no maintenance changes; 3 Reddit subs held on 429 throttling (not skipped — r/macapps succeeded from the same host). 2 new nominees.

+---
+
+Leaves draws a WinDirStat-style nested-rectangle treemap of your disk entirely in block characters — each file or folder sized by its share of space, files tinted by extension and directories by name. Because it never needs a display, it works over a plain SSH session where GUI tools like WinDirStat or QDirStat simply can't follow. Written in Rust, installable via `cargo install` or a prebuilt binary, with an x-ray mode that groups files by type before drilling into directories.
