+Autonomous `build-bundle auto` — one themed bundle, no cluster run. Through-line: each is one person/group's obsessive attempt to put an ENTIRE subject online, browsable in full — all the world's art (the-last-museum, 5.8M works), four million years of events (diena), 71,763 out-of-the-way places (detourmap), America's oldest restaurant menus (americas-earliest-restaurant-menus, NYPL Buttolph collection), all 85 Federalist Papers as serialized (federalist/Publius), and the design details everyone overlooks (inconspicuous-consumption). 3 of 6 carry heroes (the-last-museum, americas-menus, inconspicuous) — above the floor of 2; 50% coverage reads fine on the grid.
+
+Deliberately homes two long-held finds: **diena-timeline-of-everything** and **detourmap** have sat unbundled and heroless for 4-6 runs (the "One index of everything" cluster that could never meet a hero floor on its own) — this theme is their natural fit, and pairing them with three hero-bearing fresh archives finally surfaces them. federalist-papers and inconspicuous-consumption were captured today but unshortlisted; the bundle is their only route to visibility.
+
+Left out on purpose: **grace-cathedral-gaussian-splat** (the third held "index" find) — it's a single 3D place-capture, not a catalog of a whole subject, so it doesn't fit this theme honestly; holds for a future web-toys/travel bundle. **mycorrhizal-infrastructure-map** (today's shortlist #10) — a predictive map rather than a browsable catalog; a looser fit here, and since it was captured today the ~07-26 weekly catch will sweep it while it's still in the 7-day window.
+
+Runner-up cluster, not written: **"The familiar task, reengineered"** — a hero-rich (5-6 heroes) household/EDC set from today's products: crkt-hangpry-titanium-pry-bar (pry without a blade), zojirushi-electric-dispensing-pot (magnetic quick-release cord), ilive-open-ear-clip-earbuds (hear both audio and surroundings), nissan-thermal-cooker-vacuum-pot (cook with no power), mag-grab-magnetic-fly-holder (magnet-corral small parts), throwable-fire-extinguisher-ball (throw, don't aim). Strong on heroes but a looser/more-generic through-line than the archive theme; a good candidate for the next bundle or the weekly catch. No weekly catch this run — `2026-07-19-the-weeks-catch` covers Jul 13-19; next due ~07-26 (2 days out), and it will be the vehicle for the objects cluster + mycorrhizal.
