How the record is kept
Methods
This local reader is generated from the governed BB28 record; it does not write back to canon.
Cite this record by its season prefix: a link that starts with /bbus28/ stays with Big Brother 28 forever. The same page without the prefix is the current season's alias and will point at the next season once it starts. A frozen season keeps its pages at its prefix.
The three record states
- Confirmed
- Recorded as fact in the wired source.
- Reported / inferred
- Reported or inferred material, kept distinct from fact.
- Unknown
- The authorized record does not supply a value.
What the record draws on
Sources and coverage
- 17 governed focal records plus the approved portrait masters and display renditions.
- Optional shadow-only pair-conditional Safety Index snapshot; malformed available artifacts fail closed.
- The BB28 identity manifest used to bridge opaque Safety Index person IDs to site cast slugs.
- The frozen Safety Index rules and provisional weights whose canonical hash must match the snapshot.
- Writer mode (default) reads the whole season from hourly serving generations, nightly mode reads frozen admitted Joker's JSONL, and the Chronicle shows the latest 5 BBT days with up to 8 populated hours per day, 8 facts per hour, and 8 daily facts; known holes: 2026-08-23, 2026-08-28, 2026-08-29.
- All governed connection Markdown records, including dated membership claims, confidence, and evidence-root counts.
- The full BB28 cast registry and display identities.
- Every canonical glossary entry, projected to plain reader text.
- All BB28 append-only correction entries, with date, exact instant when known, page, anchor, and summary preserved.
- The governed, corrected Regulars editorial panel, projected without its source comments.
- Every closed-week row currently present; a newer live week remains an explicit lawful gap.
- The governed Cameo Corner and Mystery Competitor module, with editorial HTML preserved at render.
- The governed eight-era menu, recorded punches, caption, and editorial reading.
- Current live state, aggregate unconfirmed grade, phase, next event, and broadcast line.
- The dated season spine; structured UTC event instants drive upcoming events.
- All canonical Time Capsule receipts and non-capsule power lifecycle events, explicitly mapped into their recorded weeks.
Rule 1
UTC stays UTC
Stored occurred_at instants remain UTC. Calendar-day, hour, correction, and latest-fact labels are derived for display in America/Los_Angeles.
Rule 2
Missing fields stay missing
A field absent from the authorized sources is shown as Unknown or as an explicit empty state, never filled with sample data. If the current live week is newer than weeks.js, the site says that the current week is not yet in the weeks record.
Rule 3
Safety Index stays pair-conditional
Safety estimates the chance that a nominee stays against one named opponent if the eviction proceeds. Before the final pair is locked, the site shows every legal pair and each nominee's range rather than blending opponents into one number. The shadow model uses only ratified, cited house evidence under a frozen rules and weights version; it compares against a hard-count baseline and a 50/50 reference, and it abstains atomically when mechanics, voter coverage, freshness, or evidence validity fail. BB28 percentages remain development-only while shadow review and publication gates continue.
What this local build is
- The record entries and the current state on this site are machine-written from the sources above under the rules on this page; corrections and the goblin's own notes are written by hand.
- It is a read-only frontend snapshot of the real BB28 record, generated locally from the sources named above.
- Sample goblin notes remain removed. The Regulars page is projected from its governed, corrected editorial panel listed above.
- Alliance strength on the Alliances page is a reading derived from each alliance's recorded standing and the confidence of its record, not a recorded value.
- The OTB Pulse is off until the writer feeds a ratified indicator method.
