Applied to production

complete
166 minor + 20 placement content/status fills
TSV-authoritative field fills + slot moves, all set to confirmed (v3645).
Codex, Behind the Harness — duplicate merged
Two records existed. Merged the real content (Dominik Kundel + abstract, accel 421660) into the TSV keeper (accel 421658) at Jul 1 3:45 PM. Stray empty duplicate retired (unplaced). Runpod correctly holds Jul 1 3:20 PM.
The Dark Arts of Skill Engineering — re-homed
ClickHouse correctly took its Track 9 (Jun 29 1:15 PM) sponsor slot; Dark Arts moved to Track 2, Jun 29 4:30 PM. Stray "Snyk 1hr" placeholder (no sponsor) unplaced.
31 reviewed major-conflict content edits
Applied the title/abstract/speaker/sponsor pushes you marked "ready" in the decision export (v3649).
Neo4j Track 5 / Jul 2 — 7-talk rotation fixed
Each talk moved with its speaker + abstract into the slot matching its real content (v3650). Genuine retitles: Shafik/Joanne → "On-Device Agentic AI for the New York Times Games"; Subbiah/Abhilash → "Citation Needed: Provenance…".

TSV source-of-truth was wrong / out of date

10 not pulled
The TSV is treated as source of truth, but these entries were wrong or stale. We deliberately did not pull them into prod (or corrected them by another anchor). Logged for transparency.
Wrong talkId → slot/titleNeo4j Track 5 / Jul 2 (7-talk block)
TSV said: Rotated titles onto the wrong talkIds/slots — the TSV talkId column is shifted for this whole block.
Reality: Each speaker keeps their real talk; the titles belonged to different slots.
What we did: Matched by SPEAKER identity and moved each talk (speaker + abstract) into the correct slot. Applied (v3650).
Wrong talkId → slot/titleDeepMind — TSV row 163
TSV said: Labels talk_0281 as "Why Large? Tiny LMs & Agents on Edge/Robotics" (Cormac Brick) at Jun 30 / Track 6 / 11:10.
Reality: talk_0281 is "Speech-to-Speech" (Valeria Wu); Tiny LMs is a separate record already at Jul 1 / Track 2. Speech-to-Speech is not in the TSV at all.
What we did: Kept D1: Speech-to-Speech → Track 6 (voice), Tiny LMs → Jul 1 Track 2 (robotics). No change.
Stale roomTrack 4 → Track 8 (4 sponsors)
TSV said: Resolve AI, Superconductor, Ref., Sonar listed in Track 4 (Jul 2).
Reality: The agentic-engineering track moved to Track 8 before the TSV was generated; D1 already has them in Track 8.
What we did: Kept D1 (Track 8). Did not move.
Stale status10 sessions marked Tentative
TSV said: Baseten, Circle, Deepmind, Optiver, Resolve AI, Runpod, Buildkite, Composio, Kimchi, Telnyx = Tentative.
Reality: All Confirmed in D1; the TSV was exported before they were finalized.
What we did: Kept Confirmed — applying would have been a downgrade.
Malformed fieldCrusoe — abstract
TSV said: Abstract begins with a literal "Abstract: " prefix.
Reality: D1 abstract is clean.
What we did: Kept D1.
Malformed fieldDocker — title
TSV said: Speaker jammed into the title ("…Systems Tushar Jain, EVP of Engineering, Docker").
Reality: D1 title is clean.
What we did: Kept D1.
Malformed fieldLangChain — speakers
TSV said: Garbled ("Jake Broekhuizen, Deployed Engineer Broekhuizen").
Reality: D1 speaker is clean ("Jake Broekhuizen").
What we did: Kept D1.
Malformed fieldG2i — abstract
TSV said: Truncated to a single sentence.
Reality: D1 has the full abstract.
What we did: Kept D1.
Missing dataCitation Needed (Subbiah / Abhilash)
TSV said: No abstract and no speakers for a session the TSV introduced via the rotation.
Reality: No source anywhere (TSV / CFP / proposals) has the real abstract.
What we did: Cleared the stale leftover abstract (v3651); awaiting real copy from Neo4j.
Invalid slotMicrosoft session (talk_7d61…)
TSV said: Points at slot_2026_06_29_workshop_microsoft_presenting_sponsor_1210.
Reality: That slot does not exist in D1 — the session cannot be placed.
What we did: OPEN — needs a valid slot id or a real slot created.

Still open — needs you

2
Microsoft session — TSV slot does not exist in D1
talk_7d61fa14… points at slot_2026_06_29_workshop_microsoft_presenting_sponsor_1210, which is not a real slot in D1, so it can't be placed. Decide: fix the TSV slot id, or create/choose a real Microsoft workshop slot.
Citation Needed — real abstract still needed
Jul 2 3:20 PM. Stale abstract was cleared; the slot has the correct title but a blank abstract. Drop in the real copy (and confirm speakers) when Neo4j provides it.
Also flagged but not defects: AWS, Braintrust, Oracle, Qodo, Reducto, WorkOS, Docker (abstract) — the TSV text is effectively identical to D1 (whitespace/length only), kept as-is.
Everything applied was written via audited, version-bumped /api/operations batches. Legend: blocker · optional.
