Weekend stand-up

Village day ops

Software v1.35.0 ships one aggregate doctor, readiness receipt, runbook, and kit so maintainers can stand up a local knowledge hub in a weekend. Not free commercial broadband.

Honest rails

go_weekend_sim is a lab/classroom path with no RF required. Field mesh and live RX still need spectrum checks and legal_rf_mode. Receive-only satellite; unlicensed mesh TX only; open content only. Never free Starlink-style claims.

Operator commands

# Aggregate handoff + mesh + gateway + partner + demos
python -m skycache village-day doctor

# Write go/no-go receipt (data/ops/village-day-last.json)
python -m skycache village-day readiness

# Printable weekend runbook
python -m skycache village-day runbook --out data/village-day

# USB kit for the next maintainer
python -m skycache village-day kit --out data/village-day-kit

# Then serve the hub
python -m skycache serve --sim --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080
