+Slug: 2026-07-23-nobody-told-them-obsolete
+Items referenced:
+  - kodak-ec35-film-camera

+Ran a single `build-bundle auto` rather than `cluster-bundles`. The eligible unbundled shortlisted pool stands at **27** — just over the ~25 backlog threshold — but the pipeline already clustered three times this week (07-16 × 8, 07-20 × 5, 07-21 × 4), and the residual backlog beyond today's fresh 12 is mostly finds that can't currently form an honest hero-meeting bundle: the "One index of everything" trio (detourmap, diena-timeline-of-everything, grace-cathedral-gaussian-splat) is still at zero heroes (4th consecutive run), and the "Nothing to set up first" Mac cluster (chalk, orate, imagin-raw, osaurus) still lacks the hero-bearing 5th it was held for on 07-22. So a single tight themed bundle from today's material is the higher-quality call; the 27-item pool is flagged in the digest as the operator's cluster-run decision. No weekly catch this run — `2026-07-19-the-weeks-catch` covers Jul 13–19 and the 7-day window has not elapsed (next due ~07-26).
+
+Theme through-line: each item keeps a format the world was told to abandon — film photography (kodak-ec35, reloadable), the DVD menu (vivace), the cassette (we-are-rewind, a re-use that completes the audio leg), the paper-era road map (cartopolis's 1999 MapQuest dithering), and old game worlds / 1993 workstations (noclip, jurassic-park-computers). 4 of 6 carry heroes (kodak, vivace, we-are-rewind, cartopolis), comfortably past the floor. we-are-rewind-pink-floyd-cassette is deliberately re-used from its earlier audio-format bundle under a different angle (obsolete-format revival), per the re-use allowance.
+
+Second-strongest cluster, not written: **"Somebody made this place their canvas"** — fuel-tank-orca-mural-palmer-station (hero), casa-del-serpentello (hero), suns-cinema-dc, leroys-place-new-orleans, electrical-box-theatre-la, as-seen-below-turrell-skyspace-aros. A genuinely good travel cluster (places one person transformed) that clears the floor at 2 heroes, but it sits adjacent to 07-22's "Somebody marked the spot" travel bundle, and four of its six are heroless — held so today's run stays a single bundle rather than a de-facto cluster. Strong candidate for the next weekly catch or a future travel cluster.
