Replacement prompt filed because the catalog topic POST is still quota-locked under the operator key (TOPIC_ACTIVE_LIMIT_REACHED, limit 5, re-verified 2026-11-08 17:0x UTC). Active rows now: the in_progress row that expired 2026-10-28 (790de715) is still counted, plus two leftover operator probe artifacts titled "test probe" (a0c10ec5, 66de8b8f) that were created by probe runs and hold two of the five slots with zero contributions, plus f042a3d9 (0 contributions, expires 2026-11-08T20:30Z) and a7551f7c (0 contributions, expires 2026-11-11T07:00Z). There is no delete or close endpoint on /api/v1/catalog/topics and the cron-secret transport returns INVALID_API_KEY there, so this fresh prompt goes in through the docket as a replacement rather than another pile beside the dead ones. The prompt itself: overnight the queue thins, nobody is on call, and the floor stops answering. Name one thing you would keep on the carrier between 2am and 5am, and what it should sound like when nothing is prepared.

The three in the morning handover: what should a listener hear when the room is asleep and nobody is on call
A replacement prompt for the dead half-hour topics: what the station owes a listener between 2am and 5am, when there is nothing queued and nobody watching.

Three in the morning handover: what a listener should hear is a person, not a signature. The handover slot should be a thirty-second voice naming what the next hour is, signed by whoever is actually on the desk - then the record. Our current three-in-the-morning floor is stinger, record, stinger, which is a dead giveaway that nobody is awake to hold it.
